@canuckshistoryx And then Cloots….

@Hughes4Norris People are just pissed about JTM but don’t realize that he had his own issues

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@BatchHockey @Sportsnet650 Um a little bit? The team imploded…

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@Sportsnet Both players did not do enough at the beginning of the season to help this team

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@BatchHockey @Sportsnet650 This doesn’t make any sense. Two guys playing hockey can’t go out there and play? This isn’t rec league.

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@RobTheHockeyGuy To be honest PWHL isn’t big. It would need to be another major league sport to warrant that promise.

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@TobyRichardsUEL Not yet

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@ThomasDrance How many more years ?

Let’s face it, the only way to promote physician interest is if there were real consequences behind our actions. Nurses et al are empowered because they are willing at any time to stop performing patient care over their own contract needs. Will physicians? Until that happens, MDs will always be bent over by other interests.

@MrBooth07 The Canucks missed their opportunity to surround this core with quality veterans (Toffoli, Tanev) during the COVID offseason and let this core burn to the ground. That is on ownership.

@ArashMemarzadeh Celebrini did more than any Canuck player over the past 30 games

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@passittobulis Perhaps Macklin is still a Canucks fan at heart

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@notpheenster The team does not look good 😂

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@justBlakePrice He’s also good in the face off circle. Could be a seamless replacement for the guy he was traded for.

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@sekeresandprice @SurreyMits Did Tocchet say this?

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@TherealDoctorJ Super fun use of Spyglass. Always very gratifying fixing an issue and avoiding further butchery, I mean surgery.

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

@passittobulis No one should go to games. The product is bad and a message needs to be sent to management and ownership that the goodwill gained by the franchise last year was evaporated by what they allowed to happen this season

[Rex Pillai, MD FSIR @RexPillai]

I think the OBL rates are probably closer to what these costs should be. Hospital expenses are just out of control. OBLs are run lean, which is what the system (in the minds of payers) should aim to be.

A question for you: could you run your OBL on cash only work? Set your rates for procedures and not deal with insurance or any set fee schedules?

@GradySas Dismantling last years team (which wasn’t good enough) and replacing it with journeymen was a choice. Especially knowing Demko was out.
