Primary care should be a legislated right.

That >6.5 million people in Canada go without it is antithetical to the values people hold dear and the promise of Medicare

Thanks @janephilpott for this terrific op-ed. I can’t wait to read your book!

New research from Dr. Sarah Cuschieri, Dr. Saverio Stranges, and Piotr Wilk, PhD at #SchulichMedDent suggests that women, regardless of BMI, are at a higher risk of long-COVID than men. Compounding that, higher BMI in women further increases their risk.

“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”

We need some feel good!!! ❤

A new systematic review updates the results of a 2002 study, reaffirming the power of continuity of care. Researchers found that it is still significantly associated w/ reduced health care care costs & increased care utilization.
