A shortage of anesthesiologists in Ontario is making it difficult for some hospitals to properly staff their operating rooms, leading to temporary OR closures and forcing the cancellation of surgeries. https://t.co/L1izz6v8Z7

@DrLucieFilteau is a genius!

I can’t even imagine which piece anchored the scale. All prefect! (manual / auto switch particularly funny)

Engineering requirements have studs in orthogonal directions depending on structure

Note spacing and sizes for drawers!

Way fun!

When I was 15, I was diagnosed with a rare adrenal tumor called a pheochromocytoma. The surgeon told my family that the anesthesiologist will be the one making sure I don’t have a stroke. Today I’m that anesthesiologist, we’re behind the drapes working mad magic. #MedTwitter

The vast majority of #COVID ICU patients in Ontario are & will be unvaccinated.

Threatened ICU capacity pushed @ongov to make decisions in W3 that were bad for kids & small businesses.

Kids need to be in school. Small businesses need to stay open.

Get informed. Get vaccinated.

If we end up naming a school after our newest gold medalist, the most Canadian thing would be to call it De Grasse Junior High.

Anesthesiologist (and possible Time Lord) @GLSilvermanMD is the previous lead of our partnership with @AddisUniversity @EthiopianSocie1 - Ethiopia has a population of 105 million but had only 51 anesthesiologists in 2017. We are working to help try to change that.

@dahets @DRouselle @SarooSharda_MD @ERTales Yes it was!

@dahets @DRouselle @SarooSharda_MD @ERTales I also seem to remember that the Beatles song Hey Jude was for a boy troubled by his parents divorce -the song was a consolation!

If only they had these for trauma protocols when I was a surgical resident #iloveflowcharts @DRouselle @SarooSharda_MD @ERTales @ChrisCutMD

Man in 20s with life threatening brain hemorrhage, the most urgent of urgent cases. Can’t take to OR, they’re full of patients waiting for ICU bed. Meanwhile, pressure grows, life slipping away. April 2021, in Toronto trauma centre, covid healthcare reality.
