@deonandan This is very reminiscent of Argentina and a group of islands in the south Atlantic a generation ago...

@drmsgandhi @alandrummond2 An inconvenient and politically intractable truth for much of our leadership over the past few decades. Clearly we're reaping what we (have not) sown. I feel some of the blame lies in the short-term election cycle focus of immediate priorities/getting enough votes to stay inpower

@alandrummond2 Old school cool!

@gjagelav @CAEP_WomenInEM @CAEPConference @Qemerg She an academic rockstar..!

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

Medical school admissions selects for certain personality traits in physicians - This doesn't necessarily bode well for being thrust into the uncertainty and unknown (lack of control) of clinical environments.. Great thread - something to ponder.

I discussed this with my good friend & colleague & it makes so much sense that I’m sharing it:

Medical school applications are designed to favour high achievers, type A personality types, people with perfectionist traits, high standards. Then it trains these individuals

Primary care is the front door of the health care system

But for too many people in Canada, that front door is now closed

In my latest commentary @CMAJ, I propose some bold reforms to keep the door wide open 🧵 1/

@ChrisFrankCOE Some things haven't changed much it seems! Except maybe blue scrubs instead of green.. lol

I watched my resident eat an actual meal today. Up until now, I was pretty convinced surgical residents don't *actually* eat 😅 #IYKYK

[Mateo Farfan @MatStarfan]

@CTCash2 Super cool! It all comes around full-circle.

[Mateo Farfan @MatStarfan]

@CanadianKayMD He's so beautiful. Hope you were able to get him back in!

@dr_lojo @MacEmergFRCPC This popped up on my feed, and I spotted a friend in the picture. #medtwitter is a small world.

@TWorrest Sounds like basic training for anyone who's ever spent time in the military.

In spite of that.. I still eat quite slowly unless I *have* to eat quickly.

Although I'm still a few years away from CaRMS, it's been such an exciting week watching my 22' friends and upper-year mentors match to their dream specialties. It's truly exciting watching your friends actualize their dreams 🙌🏾 #CaRMS2022

@ajschwabeMD @Rachel_says_hii This is an absurdly accurate summary of my experiences so far.

@deonandan "It's like there's a party in my mouth.. and everyone's invited!" Some great classics out of that one.
