@Customerline1 I’m sorry, but who are you?

@WestJet due home yest at 9 pm. Delay 3 hrs leaving our destination, then connecting ✈️ rebooked for today at 8am due to “weather”. ✈️ canceled this morning and now rebooked for Tuesday night. On hold for 7 hours and no answer. How come Air Canada can still fly? @WestJet

Kay is a very dear, long time friend of mine and is going through the hardest time of her life right now. Please consider supporting her and her husband so that they can focus on spending these precious moments with each other and their families and not have to worry about $$.

Great end to the first of hopefully many POCUS rotations for our IM and GIM programs. Great crew.

Sanctum does very important work for some of Saskatoon’s most marginalized and underserved people. Proud of my friend @BLeis2023 for stepping up!

Thank you to our IM program and our Department of Medicine for our new US machine for use on our clinical teaching unit! This will help greatly in patient care and ongoing education in our #IMPOCUS program!

[Linden Kolbenson @LindenKolbenson]

Today we signed out our last US device as part of our @usask UGME Clerkship #POCUS program to one of our clerks. This is the first time all of our Saskatoon devices have been out in action since we started this initiative! @OlszynskiP @USaskUS @USaskMedDean @usaskUGME

[Linden Kolbenson @LindenKolbenson]

Making POCUS resources for our @usask core IM program. Focus on saving and exporting scans for future review to facilitate ongoing learning and QA. Thanks to our IM R2 Maria Merlano for the camera work! #IMPOCUS @USASK_PGME @OlszynskiP @sask_sonic @AmandaOro79

Hannah Rector, Lindenwood Gymnastics alum (‘17) has been diagnosed with breast cancer at 26 💔. Her insurance won’t cover a majority of her treatment and she’s a resident physician(!). I’m heartbroken for her diagnosis and infuriated at our healthcare system. Her Venmo in 4th pic

Dear @PremierScottMoe,

Attached, please find screenshots of my response to your characterization of the Royal Society of Canada's report on Canadian mortality during COVID-19 as "the most egregious misinformation of the pandemic".

The text follows in this thread.

I take pride in my ability to work with families through the worst times of their lives. It requires honesty & trust. This week has been so demoralizing. It’s so hard to connect with people who are in the ICU because they fundamentally distrust the foundations of medicine.

[Tamara Hinz @hinz_tamara]

.@PremierScottMoe, it was more than disheartening to hear you talk today about how doctors should *start* publicly educating and talking to media to counter pandemic misinformation, as if we haven’t been doing this kind of advocacy from the start.

A thread (with receipts):

[Dr. Alexander Wong @awong37]

F***! #SK still getting POUNDED by Delta.

506 cases today = NEW 1-day record.

Aug 30, 111 in hospital. Today, *225* in hospital. No end in sight.

Would be a GREAT TIME for elected officials @SKGov to DO SOMETHING to help us avoid medical triage!

RT if you agree.

[Dr. Alexander Wong @awong37]

I'm honestly numb. I'm so personally disappointed & frustrated watching our elected officials abandon the public health good of our province for... really... what?

Make no mistake. We're on our own.

[Morris Markentin @momar321]

We are a province divided - lack of clear leadership and ongoing protesting and fighting - sadly i think all my healthcare colleagues will need to hunker down in the trenches and pray we make it through - please look out for your trenchmates - reinforcements are not coming…..

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off.

New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers.

Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.
