Forever grateful to the wonderful neuro team who has made this 22nd birthday possible! Dr Andrade has devoted her career to genetic epilepsy research, esp DS so what better place to celebrate?

@DrLauraShoots @fordnation @celliottability @BCHSYS There’s more to ONT then TO

[Gaibrie Stephen @SGaibrie]

A redeployed physician to the ICU makes $385/hour in the daytime. An ICU nurse with 25 years of experience makes $48/hour.

40% of RPNs are considering leaving the profession in Toronto.

Care about #NationalNursingWeek? Talk about paying nurses better.

@DrLauraShoots 2 days earlier then I was already booked??!!

[Catherine Wang @CWangTO]

📢 Rather than coming in, you can connect to our ED docs virtually! We want to make access to our Emergency Dept more convenient and equally effective for our patients than an in-person visit. Help spread the word!

Partially vaccinated, working in ER: Calls grow to give second vaccine doses to front-line health workers https://t.co/LLJgiaqOeq

[ankie werdekker @ankiecw]

@CTV_AvisFavaro Multiple outbreaks involving staff and patients and staff still waiting while we accept patients from hot spots into our facility. The scary part is the ER patient volumes,lack of space, COVID and partial vaccinated staff....

[Bill Carroll @billcarrolltalk]

Pfizer is saying that Canada can do whatever it wants but they didn’t recommend it and they are not taking the blame if it fails. Understandable. They didn’t test for it. I think the current strategy is risky but I sure hope it works.

[Laura Shoots @DrLauraShoots]

Now seems like a good time to:
1) Mandate N95s
2) Take national approach to vaccinations and redirect to hottest spots & both doses to vulnerable populations (incl HCW..!)
3) Not be opening more businesses (...tattoo and salons)
4) 😭

[Laura Shoots @DrLauraShoots]

@SHamiltonian @YouAreLobbyLud This sounds a lot like Ontario.

Except, oh wait, we have ~2500 cases per day, new variants, and they still don’t require N95s, nor are they fully vaccinating even frontline healthcare workers.

It’s embarrassing.

[ankie werdekker @ankiecw]

@shootsie03 How many more need to get sick before HCW become priority ......

[Laura Shoots @DrLauraShoots]

Do you know what’s better than PPE at protecting healthcare workers from #COVID?

VACCINES

Yet another ER MD has COVID from work. This time, from a patient too young to wear a mask. Spouse also MD so had to self isolate 2 was.

Protect us so we can protect you.

#vaccinateHCW

[ankie werdekker @ankiecw]

@shootsie03 @PublicHealthON @ONThealth @OntarioCollege @OntHospitalAssn And case managers at the LHIN, BCHU, and GP have no direction from government as to who this applies to ...... our experience

[ankie werdekker @ankiecw]

@zogenix What about Canada?

[ankie werdekker @ankiecw]

@NathanStall @BDHodges1 @KevinSmithUHN @shiranisaacksz @UHN How can you blatantly disregard the provincial mandate that is being forced on other regions??!! LTC first then front line workers and hospitals...... suits and heels over the workers.
