CMA would like to abolish #MedicalCannabis, citing the lack of research for this move... Patients speak out about their short sighted proposal.

Embracing Alternatives for Pain Management - PEOPLE Centre’s Fall Patient Forum will touch on issues of #medicalcannabis #ChronicPain and public safety considerations including driving, workplace safety and product labelling. Reserve your spot today! https://t.co/3QLl7BK9fp

Rethinking emergency preparedness... What should patients (who have legally grown their own medicine) do with their crop of medical cannabis if it is damaged by power outages? Something to consider... times have changed but guidelines have not. #ottawatornado

@grahamctv @JimWatsonOttawa @MacLeodLisa @BarrhavenJan This couldn’t be more true!

@DrCChambers @PainReportsOPEN @EmilyOWakefield @kidspainmd @DavidYarnitsky @childpainSIG Those of us living with pain, who have children, struggle to help them learn a healthy and productive way of managing their pain. I couldn’t agree more with the findings of this study. Education and awareness need to be a priority.

@shanayafischer @MelanieNoel Makes perfect sense, thank you!

@MacLeodLisa @BarrhavenJan @KeithEgli Shout out to City of Ottawa for establishing a Vulnerable Persons Taskforce and the Ottawa Search and Rescue volunteer group, who are conducting wellness checks - Bless you all!

[[email protected] @bbogden001]

@liveplanbe I’m not sure how I feel about it. I agree we need to rethink the way we treat Pain, but this almost goes too far in making it the patient’s job to overcome pain... alone that is a very challenging proposition.

What is 'high?' Workplace inebriation a grey area for employers ahead of legal #cannabis, experts say https://t.co/S7Ye5iDjRm

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Watch this video with @MichaelMaidment where he talks about how donating to @OttawaFoodBank will help support folks affected by Ottawa #Tornado and related power outages. @JimWatsonOttawa @StephaneOCH_LCO @cmckenney @Go_Taylor @MathieuFleury @JLeiper

@SteveClarkPC @JimWatsonOttawa @fordnation @MacLeodLisa @DrFullertonMPP @gghamari @JR_Ottawa I hope the provincial government will learn from this experience and ensure revisions to municipal preparedness plans - taking into account new prescribing guidelines. #ChronicPain patients caught without medications are at risk.

[Mike Therien @miketherien]

Good work, all. A disaster has no political stripe. @JimWatsonOttawa and @fordnation please take care of the good people of my hometown after #ottawatornado

[[email protected] @bbogden001]

@miketherien @JimWatsonOttawa @fordnation Agreed, but I hope the provincial government will learn from this experience and ensure revisions to municipal preparedness plans - taking into account new prescribing guidelines. #ChronicPain patients caught without medications are at risk.

Live in a high-rise or multi-unit complex? Still without power? Check on your neighbours – especially if you are aware that they have mobility or other health issues. If there are any concerns call 3-1-1. If it is a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 #ottawa #ottnews #OttawaOutage

[[email protected] @bbogden001]

@ottawacity @BarrhavenCPC Thank you for this guidance - chronically ill patients living alone are often unprepared for emergencies that last 24hrs+

[[email protected] @bbogden001]

@ottawacity @BarrhavenCPC Thank you for this important guidance! You would be amazed how many chronically ill patients are unprepared for emergencies that last longer than 24hrs.

[City of Ottawa @ottawacity]

Please call 3-1-1 for transportation to an emergency shelter, if you have a failing medical device that needs charging or to report storm-related issues, including fallen trees. If you don't need immediate assistance, please call later. Call 9-1-1 if you have a medical emergency.
