@Kidsdoc1Rick @AlottaMalotta @ONThealth But what if the paeds centre doesn’t have a bed either? Or enough nurses to provide safe care? This is my life as a pediatric sub-specialist. This isn’t about one hospital not performing - it’s about there being so much more need than the current system can meet!

Happy to see this published! Led by @HaynosAF & @AmyHEgbert, we overview the public health harms of labeling eating disorders as a ‘niche’ topic.

If you "don't study EDs," but you study other psych concerns, we urge you to consider that you probably do.

Overwhelming evidence social media is linked to risky behaviours in adolescents from disordered eating to drug & alcohol use.

In our troubled world, it seems more painful than ever to remember this horrific act of violence against women. These 14 beautiful people were killed because they were women. Dec 6 is the National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women.

Don’t just assume your colleagues with kids can’t/won’t want to be involved with things. Honor their autonomy by still extending the invite and then let them decide.

NB, matriculating med students have better mental health + QOL than matched peers (https://t.co/ODsG5v8GwG). Physician burnout and suicide are system issues. #NationalPhysicianSuicideAwarenessDay

F* it all the people who are asking why women didn’t come forward sooner. Because girls and women are not believed, called hysterical and because there is so much inherent bias in the way the society ‘judges’ womens’s testimonies about their own bodies.

“The system is not a monolith—the system is people & it can be changed.” Fantastic talk at #CACAP2023 by Drs @AmyGajaria & @JenniferCoutur on evidence-based #eatingdisorder care & the new @OntarioHealthOH quality standard—so much we can do to advocate for more equitable
care 🙌

It's referee letter season again.
Words to describe strong male candidates: eg, outstanding, ground-breaking, focused, collaborative. Words to describe strong female candidates: eg, outstanding, ground-breaking, focused, collaborative. Yep, same words, regardless. #genderequity

What if good days and bad days had nothing to do with food or movement?

@drchetana Congratulations - well deserved!!

Since I started my career in 2020, I’ve had the peace of mind of treating anyone walking through my clinic door. To see it end abruptly with no extension or modifications is just cruel.

Every one of us should be angry that one of Ontario’s largest children’s hospitals has had to call in the Red Cross to help with staffing.

Every one of us should be demanding that our government immediately invest more resources into our healthcare system.

Every one of us.
