Thank you @CAEP_Docs for your advocacy.
We need change in our hospitals. No one should be going to work afraid.
@HealthNS@TimHoustonNS what is your plan?
Our thoughts are with our colleagues at the QEII in Halifax.
Violence has no place in the Emergency Department.
Read CAEP’s position statement on violence in the ED and the urgent need for action: https://t.co/3khh5OiANH
Sadly many will interpret the headline as yet more evidence in support of the myth that ER crowding and prolonged waits for emergency care are on the basis of inappropriate use by patients with non-urgent problems and that the solution is more family doctors. Both wrong!
WATCH: @CaseyMAJones and Lyna Kamintsky, to learn about their recent research out of @DalhousieU surrounding Blood-Brain Barrier dysfunction after repeated impacts to the brain while playing football.
We are always so excited to get some coverage in the news, and especially when it is about our most important consideration; safety. @CBCNS@CBCNews@cbcsports
Well actually, gentlemen, the reason Canadian ERs are crowded is because of a lack of hospital beds - nothing to do with the number of doctors and most certainly nothing to do with non-urgent medical problems.
Thrilled to see our work published in the January 2024 issue of @CJSMonline
We have been working with @DalFootballClub players since 2019 to unravel the connections between head impacts, MRI imaging findings, and concussion diagnosis.

The use of impact-detecting helmet technology has allowed us to better protect our players as a medical staff, in addition to gaining important insights on impact patterns and their association with clinically diagnosed concussion.
