@AirCanada- 2 cancelled flights in 2 days for uncheduled maintenance issues and chaos @yulaeroport. 24 hour delays and counting, incompetent and stressed gate agents unable to solve problems- service continues to deteriorate as it gets more expensive - do better!

[Jonathan Lee @ThatJonLee]

Austere medicine starts day 2 of #cantacmed @Wildflightmed explains the different challenges & the mindset required to overcome them.

The wilderness medicine pain ladder resonated- analgesia is the balance of pain severity vs need to monitor/risks; don’t ignore the basics!

Now a new adjustor, and more waiting, more documents to send. Rude, unprofessional staff. @icbc be better! If this was private sector, @icbc would be out of businesses in a week- we need to privatize insurance in BC.

[Matthew Smith @Wildflightmed]

The incompotence of @icbc continues to amaze me. My bike was hit by a truck and written off- after months of emails, they agree to cover it. Asessment sent, agreement reached, property release form signed. Nothing for over a month- now I am told that they lost my file.

@Anthony__Koch Terrifying..

[Matthew Smith @Wildflightmed]

It was great to reconnect with @TBayEDguy for a session on difficult airway management for our ACP students @JIBCParamedic. Thanks for the visit, look forward to seeing you again soon!

Mental heath supports matter- the literature shows that what @CMHA_NTL is asking for decreases suidicality and improves outcomes for patients struggling with mental health. Why has @liberal_party not delivered on their promise?

[CMHA National @CMHA_NTL]

We read #Budget2023 in search of the Canada Mental Health Transfer. It’s been promised since 2021. But it isn’t there. We’re asking the government why not. And if not now, then when? Read our reaction to the Budget here:  https://t.co/gqMe7SSSQU #cdnpoli #CMHA

@ottawalevelzero @OttawaParamedic Sending love to all the Ottawa paramedics- we have the identical challenges here in BC.

[Ryan Casselman @CasselmanRyan]

Everyone can agree that being a preceptor or facilitator of practice education in healthcare is essential.

How do you prepare for taking on students in the healthcare setting?

Could you tell me what education you took to prepare for this role?

[Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social @fatimabsyed]

I went to five different @ShopprsDrugMart locations today in Toronto AND Mississauga in search of Tylenol. In each one the cold and cough shelves were empty and I'm extremely, extremely stressed and baffled that we as a society have just accepted it???!

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

Scary pumpkin. @Thinkingpowers @CaulfieldTim

[Matthew Smith @Wildflightmed]

@ValaAfshar This is terrifying...

[Matthew Smith @Wildflightmed]

Proud to be a Paramedic. Proud of our profession and all the amazing folks I work with who are dedicated to growing, learning and providing the best patient care possible.
