If Dr. Oz gets his way, where does this end? Would he recommend local officials make decisions about cancer treatments? Colonoscopies? Or is this kind of scrutiny reserved just for women?
I stand in awe of what my rural physician colleagues do. These tweets are a great reminder for tertiary care centres answering the phone to be kind, collegial and helpful (not critical!) #ruraldocsrock @SRPCanada
Brockville is raising money for a new MRI. This allows people in the area to avoid travelling the 1hr to Ottawa. Kenora, Fort, Dryden, Sioux and the far north deserve a single machine within 200miles for their care. How about a campaign promise?@GregRickford#ruralmed#NWO
Periodic reminder that a cancer diagnosis for someone living in Kenora means referral to a city 490 km away (TBay) and in some cases 1846 km away (Hamilton).
Winnipeg is 200 km west of Kenora, and still denying care to residents of NWO.
Just thought I’d bring it up. No reason.
