If only reading [a physical book] and knitting could be done simultaneously… though I’d think inventing a book-page turner would be the definition of ‘first world problem’. #alas

😂 the back of the current CID journal. Not a fan of horror movies but this may convert me…

"Reason for consult: duration of antibiotic therapy."

If you've heard this one before (and who hasn't), read this educational (and entertaining!) thread.

STOP gaslighting yourself with the narrative that you’re “lazy” when the truth is you’re exhausted from the trauma and grief you’ve endured.

Impaired driving kills ~1,500 Canadians yearly. Imagine if someone said: “Impaired driving is a personal choice. Drive sober if you want.”

COVID killed 13,885 Canadians in 2021 & 6,645 so far in 2022.

So...can someone explain the logic behind dropping mask mandates, right now?

The sad irony: The "freedom" convoy actually had a lot of freedom...To travel across the country. To honk their horns all day & night. To party in hot tubs. To occupy Ottawa for 3 straight weeks.

Privilege is having freedom & having no clue that you have it.

i wish i could text my dog and let him know i’m on the way home

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

I'm starting to better understand the kind of "freedom" that these protestors want. They want to be free from having to deal with the shared responsibility of caring for others & from having to deal with the consequences of their actions. That's the "freedom" they want.

[Rachel Liu @RachelLiuRx]

@sameera_toenjes @BWright_14 The biggest irony not lost for me is that for preaching freedom, it comes at the cost of patients’ freedom that patients’ have the right to access. Not privilege. A right to healthcare.

With each passing day, I can’t help but think Mother Nature has a sense of humor and may drop the π variant on March 14 🤦🏻‍♂️

An opinion, but nonetheless true. A wake up call on who has true freedom in Canada.

Stuck at Union GO station waiting for available trains to commute back home… @GOtransit just wondering if a free ride would be considered now that we have to ride the bus?

Why is torsemide my preferred loop diuretic when treating heart failure?

As a follow-up to a recent tweetorial on furosemide and gut edema, let me offer a 3-part ode to torsemide.
