Did you know that medical wait times are not actively tracked in Ontario?

It’s time to modernize the Canadian healthcare system and implement data-driven care. Centralized wait-lists can improve patient access to care and reduce physician workload.

I have an important announcement

[Sayed Tabatabai, M.D. @TheRealDoctorT]

“How many letters in the alphabet?”

I had been expecting a question, just not this one. Damn.

Uhh. Twenty-six. Right?

… Right? Argh, this is so simple, but why is it so difficult?

“Twenty-six,” I say.

The cardiology fellow who asked me the question grins, “Perhaps.” 1/
