UofTMed Alum: We Were Treating Victims of Abuse, and Had No Idea https://t.co/f96K3eN4zn. As a part-time medical radiation technologist, if I am suspect I mention confidentiality and encourage they speak w a social worker/MD while I am the imaging the patient...

@GW49221300 @cityoftoronto Speak for yourself, some of us choose to be environmental and health-conscious. I only use my bike for quick transit downtown, not for fun, and I've ridden 15,000km in 10 years. No diabetes, high blood pressure, etc for me ;D

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@cityoftoronto many of these scooters and e-bikes don't have a bell or horn and pass you in a narrow bike lane without even letting you know verbally they're passing? Toronto is nothing like it was in 2000 when I moved here.. no respect of letting people walk both ways on sidewalks either

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@cityoftoronto $400 to fix the bike and >$600 so far for physiotherapy, and still waiting to see my osteopath to get my head/neck assessed...Oy! Maybe I should have made him pay for my costs...

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@cityoftoronto 4 weeks ago I was on my bike at night and got hit by a scooter going 40km/hr on the sidewalk with no lights on Carlton. I was turning into my condo and they t-boned me. young 20-something. Didn't charge him as it was late and I hope he learned his lesson. #Xray Tech w whiplash

If it takes gas, it's too fast for the bike lane💨

Rideables capable of speeds greater than 32 km/h, like mopeds, must stay on the road & out of bike lanes. Using a motorized vehicle on bike lanes or a multi-use path carries a fine.

@caseydanielee So I didn’t sue them, instead I went to rehab and became a healthcare professional who listens to the patients!!!

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@caseydanielee I was sent home w no BW or imaging when I had the worst HA of my life x 3/52, I’d taken 1 gravol after being unable to keep anything down. Told it was gravol OD, turns out it was encephalitis and my left temporal lobe and hippocampus were necrotizing d/t the infection. I listen!!

@nursekelsey I used to separate and wish I still did! But I wear the same clothes so often it’s hard to get a full load of most of these.. except scrubs LOL

@MuellerSheWrote @TheBlondeRN Agreed! I wish I had an NP as my primary care provider… I’d be going into my IUD insertion today with a lot more trust and not having to pay an extra fee my MD is charging me…

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@TheBlondeRN The NP that I work most closely with in our family health team I tagteam to immunize infants and children. We both value each others previous experience before primary care and consult each other regularly! Teamwork rocks #PAsNPsRNsSWsRPhs&RDsRock!

This isn't just about my culture, either. It's about all of the beautiful slices of who we all our that broadens life lenses and builds cultural humility. And all of that is essential to excellent patient care.

And excellent everything else.

Sigh.

@jtrebach For CPR? About to do my first half of the 18 hour blended First Aid, CPR, AED and BLS today via the Red Cross, we have the 11 hour in-person part next Wednesday, definitely gonna bring my volleyball knee pads for it!

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@SieNoel @jtrebach @ the start if Covid we were doing 1-view CxRs in the back ER hallway, the chair the patient sat in, wasn’t high enough making the images lordotic, I admit, I stole a high backed chair from the 2nd floor, hid it behind the portable x-ray machine & labeled it do not remove! 🩻

[Andrea Filip @AJFilip]

@NightShiftMD It seems to be all or nothing for the Leafs, and also for the Raptors… Glad I play recreational basketball on a team that puts in consistent effort! 🏀 #RainbowHoops

Thank you Taddle Creek Family Health Team for meeting with me today at Queen's Park. Taddle Creek serves 20,000 patients in our community. We talked about the urgent need to protect our public health care system so clinics like theirs can continue to provide excellent care to all of its patients. #healthcare #onpli
