Sparked by a conversation with Dr. @petrosoniak, for this grand rohnds, Dr. @omaranj sat in our ED waiting rooms for hours, and then talked to us about the ‘psychology of waiting’.

Lots of content to improve the waiting experience for patients !

There may be 🏥 and 🦠 s and 🥱 but then you spend 45 minutes seeing 100 4/5 year olds wiggle through winter songs and somehow, you know the world is going to be ok. #myjoy

Are you up to date on the latest AHA PALS guidelines?

Dr. Nandalal has a great breakdown of the last PALS update:

Canada strongly condemns the Iranian regime’s decision to impose the death penalty on some arbitrarily detained protesters. We urge the regime to reverse course. These trials and sentences are clearly designed to intimidate Iranians as they fight for their human rights.

[Mélanie Joly @melaniejoly]

Canada is equally concerned by a call from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s MPs to apply the death penalty to more protestors. We call on Iran’s regime to address the legitimate concerns of Iranians & to protect their right to protest. Canada stands with the people of Iran.

No truer words to describe how it feels to be working in Pediatric emergency care right now.

[Melanie Bechard @bechardmel]

When adult ICUs and EDs were at risk of being overwhelmed, we shut down the world to flatten the curve.

When pediatric ICUs and EDs are overwhelmed, public life continues like nothing’s happening.

I’d be heartbroken if I wasn’t so angry
