Honestly I’ve hit my breaking point. On call this week and just crushed. It’s insanity to do a specialist consult on a complex patient in 20 minutes. If I take longer then urgent care is delayed and the pile gets bigger.
Now Sechelt hospital has no physician capacity and patients are being sent over to me in the night. For the first time in 22 years of medical practice I said no. It felt terrible because the patient gets caught in the middle.
It’s unsafe. It’s hurting me. It’s hurting my family. It’s hurting patients. Leadership at the highest level in the VCH health authority need to lead. I have dedicated 22 years to Lions gate hospital. I’m seriously contemplating resigning.
Whoever forms the next government needs to make people in highly paid positions in administration accountable. Done with mediocrity. Politicians can’t fix the system but they can demand accountability from those they hire in to these roles.
Reading an iPad at full brightness for 4h before bed suppressed melatonin by 55% (sleep and detoxification hormone), pushed the body clock 90 minutes later and left people sleepier the next morning compared with reading a paper book.
Bring back candle light reading xo
One of my daughters told me TONS of her teen friends are taking injectable peptides because of things they saw on TikTok. Girls as young as 15, ordering Reta, GHK-Cu, Melanotan, BPC-157 & other GLP’s. All gray market stuff being sold directly to kids.
@RealAlbanianPat NDP has a chokehold on the broke/renters in south van tho. I see waaaaay too many Aman Singh/Sunita Dhir/Mable Elmore NDP signs.
Aman in particular is a fraud who lost his last election in Queensborough. I guess he thinks he can move to South Van and try there?? Lol
