@CP24 You forgot to mention this is not a pedestrian — it is a #cyclist

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

When officers arrived, they located a female #cyclist in her 20s suffering from injuries.

@Brady_H Omega 3 wld taste gross in water but it is added to lots of things like Neal’s Bros Flax Seed Corn Chips😋Other than that I’d say microdose lithium bc of new insight re neuroprotection, dementia, depression, and more🤷‍♀️

@MaritStiles @normsworld My question to you both is👉is this the same algorithmic pattern pertaining to what is currently happening with our healthcare struggles? 🏥What each of us continue to tolerate vs advocate will continue upward as this has also been a similar pattern observation since 2020😬🤷‍♀️

@newstart_2024 One change I’d like to see is that psychiatry and physiology are no longer separate. Diagnosing what might appear as a primary mental health condition should always strive to rule out/connect the symptoms to all relevant physiologically contributing disease before finalizing Tx.

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

@thoughtson_tech @TheLancet Sounds like what you are asking for is a Patient/Health Navigator to fill the gap as a professional who can assist with overseeing, disseminate and organize patient led research🤷‍♀️

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

@CAMHnews I’ve been diagnosed for a very longtime yet continue to be rendered invisible across all Ontario related healthcare institutions. Thus, I feel you must direct such presentations to educate ALL healthcare stakeholdersand incl tech developers re creating better EMR identifiers.

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

@globeandmail

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

Ontario is expanding its province-wide EMR system.

Connectivity alone does NOT improve care.

Poor usability + fragmented data + inconsistent flags =
👉 clinical error
👉 inefficiency
👉 information loss
👉 clinical overshadowing

This will scale risk—not reduce it.

@drkeithsiau @awandr1 Surgeons may get excited with lower numbers, particularly in females with connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome.

@CanadianKayMD Yes, perhaps it’s similar to what I’m just reading about Newfoundland and the changeover to the electronic based systems. I have no words🫣😬🥹

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

@CanadianKayMD Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry. That is horrible to hear. I’m sure there are many new docs out there whom would love to practice on the famous Isl of Anne of Green Gables🤷‍♀️If they only knew there was the need….

[Lynn Tougas, RKin @LTKnS]

Many of these hospitals have family healthcare teams. So let’s talk about this other problem. The fact that patients aren’t being referred to these family health teams within such hospitals when it is known that they don’t have a family doctor.

[Kay M. Dingwell🍁🩺🏳️‍🌈 @CanadianKayMD]

Single issue ‘simple’ ER visits are becoming highly complex with an alarming regularity due to the lack of primary care and it is skyrocketing waits.

If we can’t get them family docs PLEASE give us a short term follow up clinic like I’ve asked for years. It would help so much.

@Brady_H But not everyone has access to the best and most accurate numbers and our medical profession is hit and miss when you say something about what you saw on your smartwatch🤷‍♀️So where do we go from here? 👉back to simply educating everyone to engage in at least 30 min of 🫀🚴‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️/day😁
