Every shift I now find exhausting.
Not because I'm old (even though I am) but rather that Canada's beloved health care "system" seems to set us up to fail with each and every patient encounter.

So, our Emergency Department is quite busy.

Why? Let’s chat.

Over the past week, our ED has been seeing an increase of patients. Patients are presenting with a higher acuity – meaning they’re sicker and require more care from the team. 1/6

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Ontario's Premier giving workers 3 days of #PaidSickDays after he himself gets 14 to isolate is the epitome of hypocrisy.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.

In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

@CBCNews Why haven't we implemented #PaidSickDays @fordnation ?

[CAEP Women in Emergency Medicine @CAEP_WomenInEM]

Please take 5 minutes to complete the Gender Equity Panel Survey, which is being undertaken in preparation for the 2021 CAEP Academic Symposium on EDI.

This will help us to develop recommendations to address gender equity issues in EM in Canada.

3/3. Next, I need to examine how to further #antiracism in Medicine as well as organizations and systems I am a part of..and beyond...

This is a lifetime pledge.

[Amy Chung, MD @AmyChung]

1/3 I've had time to reflect on #BLM.
Silence condones racism.
I've thought hard about personal biases I might unintentionally have.
...how Black individuals are systematically biased against our society
We must be allies. We must be #antiracist!
We must listen and learn.

[Amy Chung, MD @AmyChung]
