Just an East Asian guy who grew up out West, then moved East to go to Western, then moved further East to Ottawa for Med(2020), now back out West for Ophtho 👁

Disheartening yet unsurprising results from @ResidentDoctors survey regarding CBME.
Learning value of EPAs minimal if not negative while concurrently adding stress to the eval process.
Moreover, the onus of completing evaluations is largely placed on learners.

Sigh. 😭 Gifted a parking ticket by the city after a 24 hr shift at the hospital. I’ll pay the fine because there are rules. But I wish these rules apply equally to the disruptive protestors in downtown, where I also live, causing ++traffic delays to get to the hospital. Irony.

@luslibrary @thatstehr @kathleen__yang Hey @thatstehr. I'm a resident doc from Vancouver. Can do my best to provide some insight about heart-related medical conditions, if you're still looking. Unfortunatley I don't have any background about the Fiji healthcare system though. Send me a PM if interested :)

Breaking news! Read RDoC's latest update regarding the cancellation of the #MCCQE2 exams here: https://t.co/nIwhehZemV

@_FB11 @abrissettemd ❤❤❤
Looking forward to your consults @_FB11

[Carti MD @carterwlim]

@luslibrary @DocMCohen Absolutely, and definitely on the same page as Dr. Cohen!!

Reasons to cancel the MCCQE2
1. It is unnecessary given that every single specialty requires a separate licensing exam before independent practice.
2. It is extremely expensive, $3k or approximately 4-5% of the annual salary of a resident doctor

Asked one of our Indian security guards in the hospital today about how he was doing with the current crisis in India. He broke down, telling me how helpless and anxious he feels. Reach out to your Indo-Canadian/America colleagues, our hearts are breaking watching this unfold 💔

This is infuriating. #PaidSickDays should have been a policy pre-pandemic, and that it's been debated and struck down multiple times in Ontario for over a year during the pandemic is just... 🤯 #PaidSickDaysSaveLives

Still kinda blows my mind that with masks, I'll sometimes work with a colleague every day for an entire month and never know what the bottom half of their face looks like.

And for some reason my default imagination is that everyone has giant handlebar mustaches under there.

Still reflecting on the difficult news shared yesterday #onpoli that will only further marginalize and discriminate peoples/communities disproportionately affected by #covid19 due to systemic inequity and racism. 1/2

Are you not entertained!? 💪🏽

Black Canadians are more likely to have lost income during covid-19; more likely to be struggling financially and be in poverty even though 31% of Black women are working in health care. We need to focus on the Black population during the recovery https://t.co/uhdP5rfklJ

When putting together your rank list, one question to ask yourself, “would these people support me during a life crisis? Illness, death, divorce. Would they do whatever they can to help me?”
