Thrilled to say I’m going to be a NEUROLOGIST 🧠!! Thank you to my wife, friends, family and mentors for their support to get this far. A dream come true to train at @ubcneuro for the next 5 years!

A sad and preventable outcome.

Diphtheria, a once vanquished killer of children, is resurgent, driven in part by growing mistrust of vaccines. This is one of the deadly consequences of the anti-vaxxers like Trump's "health" secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. https://t.co/wVkTevd1Bv

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

Yep.

Canada's measles outbreak control challenged by disinformation and distrust, doctors say https://t.co/irVEQjpKNh

@AntibioticDoc: "strongly organized disinformation campaigns about the measles vaccine have left some people feeling scared..."

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women—but in Scotland, an observational study of a national, school-based HPV vaccination program launched in 2008 detected 0 cases of the disease among women fully immunized against HPV at age 12 or 13. https://t.co/3AmU450HqW

#STROKE: A secondary analysis of the #STOPCAD study identified several predictors of subsequent ischemic stroke among patients with CAD, but only patients with occlusive dissection demonstrated a benefit from anticoagulation. #AHAJournals https://t.co/jt5pL6qv8d

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

That’s a wrap for us @CNSFNeuroLinks! Thanks to @VancouverStroke for the opportunity to present exciting updates from the SEARCH study, and got to hang w/ my pal @MadelineWElder all week while she crushed her presentations! #neurology #neurosurgery

A powerful op-Ed from team members at @UBCMedicinePAC!

[Sandra Smiley (she/her) @sandraqsmiley]

Overcrowding, burnout & aggression have become endemic in BC's emergency rooms. These conditions aren't merely an inconvenience -- they're a critical #healthequity issue.

@UBCMedicinePAC colleagues & I explain in the @VancouverSun:

So excited to see fellow UBC med students Sebastian and Preet speak to @CBC Vancouver about overcrowded ERs! They were the senior lead authors on our policy paper this year & worked tirelessly for months on this advocacy campaign! @UBCMedicinePAC @PreetsTweets101 @SebLopezSteven

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

Urgent action needed to fix emergency care, medical students say. Doctors-in-training say they're questioning future of medicine in B.C. after report on 'chaotic' ER conditions.

And you’re wondering what we spoke about? Read our policy paper executive summary submitted and approved by the @UBCMeds here! We acknowledge the great steps taken by the BC NDP but bring to the table some additional suggestions for further equity in the ER!

Proud of our group @UBCMedicinePAC for their incredible team work and diligence to #SoundTheAlarm on issues in BC Emergency Departments!

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

Incredible experience today as leading our year long @UBCMedicinePAC advocacy campaign wrapped up in Victoria! Thank you to all the MLAs for getting together with us to chat about BC emergency departments! We’re hugely appreciative of the government’s leadership in this space
