We have heard sad news that a paramedic was killed in the line of duty last night.

Please hold their family in your thoughts, including the first responder community. Be gentle with us as we mourn another colleague that has been taken too soon.

@Sran19 @UCalgaryMed Congratulations Mandeep!

To my paramedic colleagues,
I know things are very tough right now. Know that you are incredibly respected and valued by all the physicians and nurses in the ED, even though we don't always show it.
We are here for you.

[Dr Mark MacKenzie @DrMarkMack]

@I_Am_The_Storm_ How do you think of these things? You are so right!

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

If you manage pain in hospital, low-dose ketamine should be in your toolkit. And not just in the ED.

“Don't play with COVID. Don't act like a tough guy,” says Michael Mercredi, who was hospitalized in #YEG with COVID-19. “People need to get educated more about this vaccine. Take it. It's not going to hurt you. I wish I would have took it, I wouldn't be here now.”

This picture doesn’t do justice to the beauty of today’s sunrise. It’s gonna be another great day to be a paramedic. To all my friends and colleagues who are paramedics in these trying times, remember why we chose this field, it’s about our patients, always be kind. Be safe
