Congrats to @Wiebe_Abram4 for playing his first NHL game. He was a great leader during his time here. I wish nothing but the best for him.

@america This is called “buying your vote”

[Dr. Darren Joneson, President Elect BCFD @DadDrummerDoc]

@markroseman It depends on the context. Most reputable psychiatrists will at least prescribe the medication for the disorder they diagnosed and then yes the family doc can take over. However, there are some ADHD clinics for example who will diagnose every single patient with ADHD and not rx

Huge thank you and shout out to everyone who helped me celebrate 40! Especially my wonderful wife who among many other things also got @BBBaumgartner from my favourite show to do a shout out. (I am wearing my Scott’s Tots shirt as I write this)

@markroseman @DoctorsOfBC @BCFamilyDoctors @BC_GP_Shortage @DrJLush @Vanessa58386340 @DrKathleenRoss1 @BirinderNarang @dr_oona @drstaceybutters If you see 25 patients a day then it’s around $18/visit. If you see 35 patients a day then it’s around $14.50/visit. If you see 50 patients/day then it’s $10.40/visit.

I've just sent a letter to MPs explaining why a carve out, an exemption for doctors is needed. The capital gains tax increase will hurt #AccessToCare & physician recruitment & retension.

IMO re: expanded prescribing of pharma's. Overprescribing of Abx without proper workups. The conflict of interest in making $ from their rx is ignored. Most pharmacists act with skill & integrity. The system rewards those that don't. Likely result = SUPERBUGS!

Thank you to all of those who have given me their vote of trust. I take this responsibility very seriously and hope I can make B.C. a better place for family docs and patients alike.

@drpaulwinston @dockevinmcleod Has UBC changed how much it pays? Last time I checked it was half as much per hour to facilitate a small group learning session as it was to work in office.

Happy Family Doctor Day. What an honour it is to do what we do.

[Dr. Darren Joneson, President Elect BCFD @DadDrummerDoc]

I am honoured to run for President of @BCFamilyDoctors. I believe we can have the best jobs in the world. It’s amazing what we can accomplish together. If you’re a family doc in BC, vote for me! Feel free to post any questions here or PM me.

[Dr. Darren Joneson, President Elect BCFD @DadDrummerDoc]

@alexnatarosMD @BCFamilyDoctors Thank you for your vote of confidence. I hope I have the opportunity to represent yours, and our profession’s voices.

BC Ministry of Health put out a statement today for Midwives Day, of course important & valuable colleagues in our health care system.

2 days ago was National Physician's Day.

Federal government put out a statement of support, BC didn't.

Why?

@wecarryon2 My dad died by suicide. I wish I could have read his phone just to see who the last people he talked to were. The last pictures he took. It would have helped with closure for me.

@MSchleifer @AdrianaLaGrange Spoken as if the natural product industry isn’t a multi billion dollar industry.
