Please expect appointment or service delays at Toronto General, Toronto Western, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre; and Toronto Rehab due to an unexpected system outage. At this time, it appears the situation is not related to a cyber event. We will provide another update at 9am.

[Mika Hamilton @YesSrICanBougie]

Join us in Toronto for a 2-day perioperative POCUS course!

We will look at the LV, the RV, the VALVES, PERICARDIUM, the IVC, GASTRIC, FAST, DVT, LUNGS, DIAPHRAGM, the AIRWAY, and... OPTIC NERVE SHEATHS!! ❤️🫁👀

IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING! YES I'M SHOUTING!!
