@SabraGibbens Thank you for your service!! It’s frustrating that upholding a healthcare system in crisis is completely falling on the shoulders of individual physicians but I’m sure your community and patients are extremely grateful for your work and compassion

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

@FayMelingPao Hey! There might be. I was just covering yesterday but I can ask for you. Where are you located?

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

Running a mobile COVID vaccine clinic! 4 extra booster doses of moderna available. 11 Spadina Rd, Toronto. First come first serve! #covidbooster #Moderna #CovidVaccine

One ER doctor on hospital row in Toronto with a sign “Protect hospitals.” He came before his shift. “This is sacred ground behind me,” he said. Let them protest, he added, but not here. @globalnewsto

@kevinjdongMD @FamPhysCan I hope so too! Honestly all I want is to write the exam in a reasonable time/manner and move on

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

Thanks for your support! This whole process has been so disappointing and emotionally charged for us. We were looking forward to writing this exam and now due to lack of communication, difficulties rescheduling and limited communication from @FamPhysCan it’s become a nightmare

[Kevin Dong @kevinjdongMD]

Feeling awful for colleagues who had their CCFPEM exams cancelled today.

Not sure why this had to happen on the day of but it is added burden both mentally and emotionally for these already burnt out physicians.

#ccfpem ☹️👎

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

@PamelaDoran11 @FamPhysCan Nope :( agree this is totally unacceptable

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

We were told prometric would contact us within 24-48 hours to reschedule. So far no communication and all in person spots already taken. Called prometric, they told me it’s not their problem and contact @FamPhysCan - so far nothing from them either.

@brent_kvern @cfpcceo @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

Because we “wrote” on the 9th our exam is “still in progress” and apparently they can’t change our status. Talking to prometric, they said we “may” get a call next week but don’t get our hopes up!? So basically…unclear when we’ll get to write and no in person spots

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

This is year 3 of the pandemic. We’ve had technical issues every single remote exam. We need a better solution @FamPhysCan @munsifio

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

Attempted to take the CCFP-EM exam remotely yesterday but many of us experienced major technical difficulties. Today, ALL remote sessions canceled = hundreds of impacted #ERphysicians. Limited communication from @FamPhysCan throughout all of this #EmergencyMedicine (Part 1)

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

As a physician who’s working in a high-volume ER, I’m worried I’ll create issues for my colleagues if I need to switch my shifts around or call in the on-call, in an already high stress, resource limited work environment. #ccfpem

[Ada Gu, MD @a_gu77]

We have spent over a year preparing for this exam, spent countless hours studying in between ER shifts, and spent over $3k on exam fees. We’re told the solution is to reschedule us sometime around our oral exams, with no clarity as to whether this issue will be resolved by then

Here's the updated, comprehensive list of #SARSCoV2 variants that are resistant to vaccines

Awesome to see some concrete evidence on current practice for cannabinoid hyperemesis!
