🇨🇦article “On the perpetual unhappiness of my fellow doctors” (IMHO this article really shows expectations just don’t line up. As a specialist, it’s a only a teeny bit better. Silos are not helping.) https://t.co/ctJtdqDZgg
@DavidCCoon Thank you, keep trying. Private clinics afford more privacy(=dignity) than hospital clinics (so many check-in desks and people!). Also, private = less paperwork. Think of a teen navigating all this. Human details matter. (The ‘no wait list’ argument =tone deaf.)
@dotunderscore@infoamfred The premier gave an FI anecdote. Here are mine: My BC conversational french is 🤔 for reading menus and buying train tickets. FI was a big factor to move here with little kids. Grade 3 entry FI = success x2. (Still wish they had Gr 1 entry tho 🤷🏼♀️)

Today I want to talk about research that @J_ParsonsUofM@steph_coen and I published in @BJSM_BMJ

@andrewbmaclean There was the Creaghan Inquiry since Fujitsu. RHAs shifted from 7 to 2, with ++recommended changes . I think #32 in the Govt response below sums it up. (Regional Medical Advisory work hasn’t been effective across all sites yet.) https://t.co/4cOx2ftNjw
“Concealed in the queue are..time bombs: abdo pains w. ruptured ectopics, leg pains w. necrotizing fasciitis, headache w. subarachnoid …seldom identifiable during triage …delays = disastrous outcomes”. So much truth. Reform ambulatory care.
@TriageNurseMD Just a thought: how about we focus more time on the sicker patients even if that means the time for primary care patients is determined by the time left over after appropriate resources have been allocated to patients with emergency/serious conditions? https://t.co/KMJgcVNXha
TL/DR: Canada's healthcare system is broken, flawed & needs an honest review
My dad is a family doc in a small ON town. He's worked for >40yrs. He knows the HC system better than most.
Last week he called to ask me for help for a neurologist referral. I'm an emerg doc 🤷♂️

@BBankheadMD Was that kid, then that parent. Art supplies on ortho floor for my girls are not as good (🥱📝) as what I had as a kid (inpatient psychiatry) 🎨🖌🎭
No- you cannot do this: experiment on humans without regard for their health or safety. Screen shot of CBC news today. Intentional substandard care in private care homes was a ‘pilot project’ in NB in 2019. #HelsinkiDeclaration
@nb_covid_info@HallwayOrchard@infoamfred Yeah, brutal. Reporting bias tutorial needed. @infoamfred got it right: “That’s a fair chunk isn’t it?!” It is. Time taken for letters is huge- we are type A principled, informed data checkers. ✉️ = unpaid medical expertise & time. ❤️kids health.
MIDFOOT MONDAY So, 12% of adults will have midfoot arthritis. (Not because of yellow pins stuck at the tarsal-metatarsal joints.) Insidious, aching, shoes can feel awful. 🧵
This is an issue I face every day at every level with every sport. Literally every day at least 1/3 of my clinic features athletes who have experienced harassment, abuse, and/or neglect. It is sickening and very frustrating.
@rkh_md@DGlaucomflecken And for female specialists, absolutely everyone thinks they have you at ‘hello’. As for the Diet Coke sin…my fave (late) ED doc at least had the decency to make me ‘psuedo tea’ (teabag + 🔥hot H20 tap) THEN ask something.
@LisaBarrettID I love that our universities are keeping pandemic precautions. Less time loss from study, exams, sport. Grade 12s are keen to protect Prom. It’s a different kind of vulnerable, wanting to keep precious things. But it’s a win all round. 🙌🏼
