We all die eventually. This patient helped me realize that when my time comes, I'll be fortunate if MAiD is an option.

And I will always be thankful to her, her family, and a very skilled colleague for helping me appreciate just how good a “good death” can be.

An important read. Watch for more from the Institute on #BasicIncome, a sister initiative to #LivingWage, over the next few months.

ICYMI: @OBrien_IPH member Dr Joe Vipond, MD, sits down with @sprawlcalgary to discuss the City's Climate Resilience Strategy and the new Calgary Climate Hub, a not-for-profit advocacy group that's watching closely and pushing for change: https://t.co/TTLY4UXU08 #yyc

Dr. Rebecca Haines-Saah of @OBrien_IPH says the number of people who've used this service is a good indication of its value.

“If we torture #data hard enough, they will tell you something.” However, is this “something” #valid and #reproducible? Probably not. #CalWHO

The #CanadasFoodGuide is an upgrade, not a strategy. #Foodinsecurity affects far too many Canadians for whom these guidelines are unrealistic. Mary Salvani of the Disability Action Hall in #yyc shared her reality at #foodpolicy2018. Have a look: https://t.co/hWPJt2IoTa

A national electronic health record for primary care. Thanks @navpersaud for articulating this call so clearly. It matters for care, it matters for research, and in rural areas, it matters for locum supports who have to learn EMR after EMR. https://t.co/WobG68RF4T

'First-world' problems — heart disease, diabetes, COPD — are now global problems. But #AI is transforming the way we confront them. Watch the 2018 Gairdner International Symposium, hosted by @OBrien_IPH: https://t.co/jHIEOG87h3 #HealthBytesYYC #BigData

Supporting health research is a societal investment and comes at a cost, by @picardonhealth https://t.co/wxiCeAIQV1 via @GlobeDebate @CIHR_ICRS

Should #AI need to explain how it got to right ans if it's right 99% of time? @neuraltheory says we don't need to understand HOW an algorithm has reached a diagnosis, but we have a RIGHT to understand WHY it was made & its relevance to our condition & life #YouAndAI @royalsociety
