My airing of my grievances: A Festivus thread (feel free to add yours below)
1. The blinding LED headlights are top of the list again this year. I’m ready to run for Prime Minister just to outlaw them

So proud of the work this committee has done so far and I cannot wait for the conference! Come join us in the mountains for the 50th Banff Seminar! @CSHP_SCPH
If you’ve noticed your rapid test taking longer to turn, you’re not wrong. As population immunity shifts, so does our relationship with RA testing. A primed immune system generates symptoms from controlling viral proliferation. This needs now to be correlated with infectivity.
Overdoses and poisonings can be scary - let PADIS help you to become more familiar with common toxicological conditions and sign up now!

It’s terrible:
Locally I think ? 7 or so physicians objected to a COVID vaccination requirement
the vast majority of the other ~10,000 were eagerly lined up to get it ASAP to increase safety at work.
The 0.07% was HUGELY amplified in social media, the 99.9%?
Near invisible.
Friendly reminder:
Use statins more and aspirin less
Don’t defer starting an MRA
Apixaban until proven otherwise
Most patients are indicated for SGLT2i
CKD = RAAS inhibitor, not the other way around
Less is more unless it reduces all cause mortality
Some news: Last month, we opened the Edmonton Diabetes & High Risk Foot Clinic. It is a one-stop shop for patients with diabetes. We offer specialist diabetes management, foot care, diabetes education, a dietitian, pharmacist, and counselling therapist all under one roof.
In a Wild Card Question During The Debate:
Both leaders of the NDP and UCP were asked to talk about something they admired about the other party’s choices or decisions over the last 4 years.
Notley graciously brought up two points about the UCP.
Smith blasted her own horn and then took a dig at the NDP.
Newsflash Smith, you made yourself look worse.
