@taylorswift13 It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.

LIVE - piles of votes as Ontarians deliver votes in favour of public hospitals to Queen’s Park ⁦@OntarioHealthC⁩

Cancer continues to threaten millions of lives

But to witness a stage IV patient enter remission, having received not a drop of chemotherapy but rather immunotherapy, is a near-miracle I didn’t foresee when my career began

Not all tears in an oncology clinic are shed in sadness

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Having cancer is hard enough. The words we use shouldn’t make it harder.

While the battle analogies may energize some patients, for many others they lead to blame and shame.

BREAKING: The City of Toronto has officially voted against implementing 24/7 warming centres to protect unhoused people from suffering & freezing to death.

The way this city treats unhoused people is just disgusting.

Yes, the person making food at McDonalds should be able to afford rent and groceries with their paycheck.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Over 1.8 million Ontarians don’t have a family doctor.

So the government’s health line is referring patients to a virtual-only physician service that charges $55 for a single live chat (not OHIP covered).

This is how they sneak in two-tier healthcare…right under our noses.

[NurseOntario🍁 @NursesOntario]

So... the Ford government has enough money to fund private surgeries in private hospitals but not enough money to pay the Nurses or improve the public healthcare system.

I blame @fordnation for underspending on health care by $859 million in 2022 so my dad's getting a blood transfusion in the hallway. No plug on his wall so stretchers and sanitation trolleys roll over the IV cord every 10 mins. He is one of the lucky ones in a #HealthCareCrisis

So grateful to be able to use #eppendorf pipettes as they make learning easier and am so excited to use them in healthcare as a future healthcare professional #EppendorfLife

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

One of the country’s largest pediatric hospitals has called in the Red Cross to help with patient volumes and we are still debating the sustainably of our health system?

On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died.

Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more.

I’ve had terminal patients hang on long enough to celebrate wedding anniversaries

I’ve also seen them get married in what they knew would be their final months, weeks, or even days

So what I have learned?

That love is to be celebrated no matter how long it lasts in this life

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

It can’t be said enough: Private for-profit healthcare will only pull health workers away from our already collapsing public healthcare system and make our understaffing crisis even worse.

Private for-profit healthcare is not the answer. Investing in public healthcare is.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

The Ontario government is letting our public healthcare system collapse to make you frustrated. To make you think a private for-profit healthcare system would be better. To make you want to give up on an equitable healthcare system for all...Don't let them fool you!
