Over the past 3 weeks, I was lucky enough to complete an elective with @ICHA_Toronto Palliative Education & Care in the Homeless (PEACH) program. Here's a thread of some of the things I learned, even though it's impossible to sum up this learning experience in a tweet: #MedEd

Incredibly proud of my husband and all of his hard work!

Extended the deadline for steering committee applications to midnight tonight! Please apply if you’re considering :)

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis?

Enraging.

i‘m sorry i just don’t know how we ever reconcile a human being freezing to death — this morning — in one of the world’s richest cities because they had no where to sleep while we spend millions for protestors to occupy our capital.

Even if Omicron is less virulent than Delta, the massive number of new cases still results in hospitalization & puts pressure on a healthcare system that was stretched prior to this wave.

Covid-related personnel absences (via infection & exposure) further exacerbate the problem.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Let's get one thing straight: The Ontario government's decision to shorten the COVID-19 isolation period to 5 days without also providing workers with free N95 masks, rapid tests & adequate paid sick days is a business decision, not a public health decision.

[Emily Bellicoso @BellicosoEmily]

Heartbroken to hear. I’ll very fondly remember Sarge teaching myself and my fellow medical students with humour and kindness. He led by example, the kind of compassionate and empathetic physician I aspire to be.

[Moira Kapral @moirakapral]

Heartbroken to share news of the death of Dr. Rob Sargeant, master clinician, beloved teacher, and fearless leader @GIMtoronto @UofT_DoM @UnityHealthTO. Much love and support to @KarenSargeant and family. Rest in peace, dear friend https://t.co/fKzCk6IA4n

Retweet if you think the Ontario government should vote YES to 10 permanent paid sick days tomorrow because workers shouldn't have to choose between their health & paying the bills.

[Decent Work and Health Network @DecentWorkHlth]

BREAKING: Frontline health providers & essential workers are at Queen’s Park calling on @fordnation's government to vote YES on Bill 8 to legislate 10 #PaidSickDays + 14 in pandemics.

It’s past time for permanent & adequate paid sick days.

By setting a date (Jan 17, 2022) for lifting vaccine requirements in certain settings @ongov is working against its stated goal of maximizing vaccine uptake.

[Emily Bellicoso @BellicosoEmily]

Mallory, you are a shining light of what it means to be a compassionate physician and person, since you’ve mastered the art of showing yourself those qualities too. Your bravery is admirable and appreciated more than you know ❤️

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

So…this happened. What an honour to be chosen as a Changemaker by the @TorontoStar in today’s paper!

Remember: Housing is a human right. Harm reduction saves lives. And kindness is everything.

I’m truly grateful 🙏🏽.

I was lucky enough to be in Dr. Sargeant’s clinical skills seminar in my 2nd year of medical school. His sense of humour, honesty, and compassion for patients were admirable and I’m so grateful to have learned from him. I’m glad that this fund will help to continue his legacy.

(1/4) St. Michael’s Department of General Internal Medicine (GIM) is the largest in the hospital and cares for thousands of patients each year. For two decades, Dr. Rob Sargeant has worked relentlessly to make GIM more responsive to patient’s needs, “Working with the nurses...
