Great Poster

Love or hate him, it is our freedom to do so.

But, over 400,000 school kids in #canada including #sask will now have access to healthy meals which will nourish their bodies and minds.

That's just good policy.

I frequently check iron/ferritin in my teenaged population and levels are more commonly low than they are normal. For a child psychiatrist, I start a lllloottt of iron supplementation.

This was just a small part of the crowd assembled today at the Sask Legislature. The crowd of 6000 people was walking around the entire building to support education funding and teachers. #WeAreSTF

The world as it should be, not as it is (in this unwitting slip from @ONThealth)

Iron is an essential mineral, not covering its most effective formulation is baffling. We all pay for it one way or another, in lost productivity, neurodevelopmental defects, blood transfusions

HEMOLYTIC MARKERS POST HEMATOMA

I recently saw a 76 yo M with unremarkable history (HTN), who presented with syncopal episode. He was hypotensive and found to have massive soft tissue hematoma on chest wall (shown in graphic).

Important. Andreas Greinacher explained that we must start thinking of PF4-antibody related disorders of which there are 5 categories. The latest disorder has been described at this meeting. I expect we will be talking (and testing) a lot more about this. #ISTH2023

The public sector is bad because individuals will retire earlier, be able to take sick time when needed, have a more stable job situation and will experience financial stability in retirement.

These are very very bad things people. We should all try to avoid them.

[Alastair McAlpine, MD @AlastairMcA30]

We’ve all wondered why scientists or MDs “turn”. How respected folk can find themselves deep in the anti-vax community.

It’s a decidedly simple (but dangerous and malicious) process.
Below is a thread on how people become “red pilled.” 🧵

Since we're on the subject though and people like to lie about it, with the exception of TTS from adenovirus vectors (which is extremely rare- on the order of 1 per 100,000 doses), COVID-19 vaccines are not, in general, associated with clots:

No apparent asso btw mRNA COVID19 vac & VTE: 6 robust studies,analysis of > 27 million doses;consistent result:mRNA vac aren’t statistically asso with VTE. Confidence in findings is high due to consistency of null finding across diff age groups,geographic https://t.co/hKFznLpaL4

Quote: The statement said the province is committed to supporting and growing the health-care workforce in Saskatchewan and called recruitment and retention of physicians to the province a “top priority.”

Ok so what are they actually doing?
