We have three questions for candidates and political parties wishing to form government after the coming election.
1. What strategies will your government employ to make Alberta an attractive place for physicians and medical learners to come and stay? /1

[Lyndon Letwin @Letwin_Ly]

@GavinPrestonMD 1. Sewage truck driver
2. Hydrovac excavation swamper/operator
3. Heavy equipment operator/mechanic
4. Graduate assistant/lecturer
5. Ski area Operations Manager/Chairlift Mechanic/Groomer Operator

I'm so thankful for the experiences I had and the people I met before medicine.

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.

It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.

It did not.

Surgery is a team sport.
Played by highly-trained people.
Who are in short supply.
I’ll listen to the chatter when I hear about more about Human Resources and less about Facilities.

[Greg Bryson, MD, FRCPC @glbryson]

A lot of chatter about increasing access to surgery by extending OR days, working off hours, and expanding out-of-hospital premises.
Not much talk about where the staff to run the theatres - not to mention admitting, PACU, wards, allied health, supply, etc - will come from.

Parking eight deer on the roof before breaking and entering isn't very "leave no trace" just saying.

Want to see how PEEP recruits atelectatic lung?

Here’s a video I shot of pig lungs 🫁 connected to a ventilator. Watch as we increase the PEEP from 0 to 5 to 10 cmH2O.👇
