53% of physicians feel highly burned out, with administrative burden being one of the main contributors. Let’s make good use of our scarce health care resources, and preserve physician time and energy for what matters: caring for patients. https://t.co/carHXPLvKP

"If we can get rid of something that really has no medical benefit to anybody, but does add to the workload that family doctors are experiencing, that's a real win for all of us."

HOT TAKE

We shouldn’t be asking how we can increase hospital capacity. Instead we should be asking how to prevent people from needing the hospital to begin with.

What happened to prioritizing primary care and preventative health?

ERs need to brace for a deluge of overdoses. I hope Tim Hortons, transit and McDonald's is ready with naloxone. Ontario willfully ignores data showing safe consumption does not systemically increase crime and disorder. @robertbenzie @BenSpurr @dmrider

I see we are saying 'populism' again instead of 'racism.' That's part of the problem.

There are no trans women competing at the Olympics, but there IS a man convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl: glad to see the terfs are all about protecting women.

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.

Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.

If you kill 17 young hockey players, and you are brown, you will serve time in jail and still be deported after.

But if you kill 17 people who are already at the ends of their life, and you are white, you won't even be charged.

Everyday in ER we see the human carnage - injuries, withdrawal, suicidality, liver disease, catastrophic gut bleeding, social chaos and more - caused by alcohol, but that doesn't stop Conservatives from giving a care. @l_stone @CAMHnews @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP

Bodily autonomy
Parental leave
Affordable childcare
Equal pay
Paid sick time
Safe schools
And more sleep

The police response in Calgary to the university student protest last night is a noteworthy contrast to police responses to neo-Nazi and anti-LGBTQ+ rallies in this city. I've lived here my whole life and am shocked to see the different approaches.
