Two weeks late but I decided this deserved a tweet... So excited to be starting my dream residency with @UManitoba_Emerg this summer! I can't wait to join this stellar team and become an Emergency Physician in my mom's hometown. See you soon Winnipeg!

Congrats to those who matched in this iteration of #CaRMS2023, and those who didn’t match and/or didn’t get the outcome they expected. Our healthcare system needs you all, and your career is as flexible as you want it to be. To a bright future in medicine for all. 🩺❤️

Just a friendly periodic reminder that what has become routine to you, may be one of the scariest times in your patient’s life.

We can split the atom and send robots to Mars but in 2023 your MRI appointment hinges on two fax machines being in working order.

On Monday night the world watched 24-year-old Damar Hamlin collapse to the ground in Cardiac Arrest on the football field.

His life was saved because he got immediate CPR and defibrillation.

This can happen to literally anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Life is precious. Learn CPR.

In medicine, we don’t say “I love you”, we say “it’s not unreasonable” and I think that’s beautiful.

"With estimates suggesting that up to 30 % of all health care offers no clinical value to patients, reducing overuse offers an opportunity to reduce emissions, cut waste, avoid harm to patients – a win for people, health care systems, and the planet"

Fewer medical students are now choosing to specialize in family medicine, meaning fewer future family physicians to replace those who retire or leave practice. https://t.co/rlfkKMdd5v

Stoked to be a part of this project! Check out our main takeaways about the rates, reasons, and risk factors for return ED visits for discharged trauma patients in Ontario 🙂

[Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery @JTraumAcuteSurg]

Our study looks at the outcomes of trauma patients discharged home from the ED. We found that nearly 1 in 5 patients returned within 2 weeks but serious diagnoses or surgical interventions were rare. Several patient characteristics predicted return visits

So, on this National Truth and Reconciliation Day, ask yourself:

What actions will I take to help advance true reconciliation?

By what measure will I know they have been impactful and effective?

How will I continue to act tomorrow, the next day, and into the future? (2/3)

@itsbryanwong My highlight of today was seeing CC3s around the hospital 🥰
