@DrCMcDermott @MichaelChaikof Ligasure for ectopics: more costly, greater environmental impact and no benefit to patient or organization in straight forward cases.

Meet Joan Seeram, an environmental services worker at St. Michael's Hospital and today’s 'Front-line Hero.' Physicians there say Seeram "continues to do this hard work with a smile and grace — even with the added fear that COVID brings."

[St. Michael's Hospital Foundation @StMichaelsFdn]

There is an urgent need to support #StMichaelsHospital during the #COVID19 pandemic. One courageous philanthropist has stepped up with a challenge. Donate today to the St. Michael’s Courage Fund and donations will be matched, up to $3 million. https://t.co/SuiyvcR0Wu

Swift and comprehensive response on how to adapt pregnancy care during a rapidly changing COVID-19 environment. Agility and flexibility with risk assessment and virtual technology are all key. Congratulations @TaliBogler. @UnityHealthTO @uoftobgyn @SMHObGyn @PandemicPreg

[SMHObGyn @SMHObGyn]

Congratulations @TaliBogler! Can’t wait to see what the @PandemicPreg Guide has to offer! @uoftobgyn @SOGCorg @UnityHealthTO @EliShoreMD @DrSheilaW @DebRobertsonMD @AndreaSimpsonMD @drnimmis @MeffeFilomena

Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

[Filomena Meffe MD @MeffeFilomena]

And proud of @SMHObGyn Fetal Assessment Unit & Obs Ultrasound which are integrated into low risk& high risk pregnancy clinics-all on one floor for easy access to expert care. Results shared same day with our patients. #patientcentred #pregnancy @EliShoreMD @drnimmis #ultrasound

[SMHObGyn @SMHObGyn]

@SMHObGyn is always happy to accept patients for obstetrical care and delivery. Patients can be referred by their #generalpractioner or they can self refer. #pregnancy #obstetrics #antenatalcare

In a new study, St. Michael's Hospital neurosurgeon @DrMDCusimano reviewed the World Cup games and found half of the female players involved in head collision events received medical assessments, compared with only one third of the impacted male players. https://t.co/vuP2RARFKN

So important to know size, number and location of #fibroids when considering surgery. @DrSonySinghMD gives much needed advice @SMHObGyn Women’s Health Symposium. #womenhealth @uoftobgyn @UnityHealthTO

[Eliane Shore @EliShoreMD]

Location, location, location. Talking about #fibroids with @DrSonySinghMD at the @SMHObGyn Women’s Health Symposium. #womenshealth #obgyntwitter #MIGS @uoftobgyn @UnityHealthTO @CanSAGE @SOGCorg

[Filomena Meffe MD @MeffeFilomena]

@AndreasXyrichis @CAIPEUK Sounds like having a massive transfusion protocol could have saved a life. @SMHObGyn @UnityHealthTO, MTP is activated by the patient’s physician with an immediate co-ordinated inter-disciplinary response. OB hemorrhage is a main activation criteria. #patientsafety #teamwork

Regarding female surgeons earning less than their male counterparts despite working just as hard, @fdossa says it’s the system that needs to change, not the female surgeons or the women who want to be surgeons on @cbcradio this morning! @StMikesHospital @JAMASurgery @enenbee

[Filomena Meffe MD @MeffeFilomena]

Kudos to @fdossa @AndreaSimpsonMD @enenbee and their research team for digging deeper to confirm that female surgeons work equally hard as male surgeons but for less pay. Now, how do we fix this? Can’t wait for your next paper! @StMikesHospital

[Unity Health Toronto @UnityHealthTO]

A study led by our Dr. Nancy Baxter (@enenbee) and Dr. Fahima Dossa (@fdossa) has found that female surgeons in Ontario earn 24 per cent less per hour while operating compared to male surgeons. https://t.co/YoUD58b61z @ICESOntario
