Dear Anesthesiology: thank you. In the face of the rare anticipated difficult/impossible airway with severely deranged physiology you have never let me down. Coming down silent as night, you have had my back for 20 years. Thank you so, so much. Sincerely, ER

New research shows female family doctors in Ontario spend more time with patients, yet earn less under volume-based pay. “We shouldn't be penalizing doctors for doing what patients in the system really need,” says OMA President @Health_Ontario_.

The term "team-based anesthesia care" might be new, but as our section Vice-Chair, Dr. Sylvie Aucoin, shares, the ideas and practices behind TBAC are built on several solid models used in various regions, including right here in Ontario!

Today, @OntariosDoctors mark the #16Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. We remember Dr. Elana Fric and Keira Kagan, whose lives were tragically lost to domestic violence. Together, we can #EndViolenceAgainstWomen.

[Ontario's Anesthesiologists @ON_Anesthesia]

While we officially started using the phrase "team-based anesthesia care" in spring 2025, the concept has over 2 decades of real-world practice behind it. Learn more about this history via our latest blog post, featuring our vice-chair, Dr. Sylvie Aucoin: https://t.co/8mAHyfv01n

After a thorough review, @SOGCorg reaffirms that acetaminophen (Tylenol) remains a safe & appropriate first-line treatment for pain & fever in pregnancy. This aligns with SOGC guidelines & @ACOGNational recommendations.
