The @UofT_DoM is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Robert J. Sargeant. Rob was a fantastic General Internist & amazing educator, colleague, mentor & friend to so many of us.
Our deepest condolences to @KarenSargeant and all of Rob's family.
Thank you, Sarge. Farewell.

[Dr. Jillian Horton @JillianHortonMD]

Premier, some of us who have spent yrs caring for seniors think it’s a privilege to do that work - one that comes w responsibilities. What makes you think ppl are entitled to endanger senior’s lives in THEIR homes?

A #BoneMineralDensity test is recommended for adults with Fragility #Fractures after age 40, yet less than 10% of Canadians received one.
We can do better! 🇨🇦👍

We have updated #Covid_19 chapter in @mcmtextbook several days ago. Now we need to do it again! Who should get heparin in hospital? What to do when person goes home? Or to ICU? https://t.co/bU003wd4Sf

Since day one, we focused on battling COVID and keeping Canadians safe. That’s why we’re announcing that 🇨🇦 has entered into a new long-term contract with Moderna for 40M vaccines.
