Outages have more than tripled in 55 minutes to more than 87K.
Nasty... and centre is still offshore.
Serious illness myths:
1. That you won’t get one.
2. That doctors know everything.
3. That you will get info automatically when you need it.
4. That you have no control over your experience.
Passive healthcare consumers are at risk of an ‘in the dark’ journey!

If you are facing a life-limiting illness, let your doctor know;
1. You give them permission to speak openly & honestly
2. You want realistic information
3. That info, for better or worse, will help you plan.
Doctors are more likely to 'go there' if you invite them.

Social accountability has to be rooted in social justice. It can’t be about the things we do “out there”, a.k.a service learning. What are we doing “in here” in medical education that impacts the communities we serve. Yes! @MarciaJAnderson#CCME2021
I feel the need to say something that's not 'in my lane.'
When media coverage of suicide rises, so do suicides.
Commentary on the @Oprah interview with the Sussexes has been lacking in compassion not only for them, but for anyone who has experienced suicidal ideas.

An odd thing to tweet but I know Twitter often comes through at the strangest of moments. I lost my lovely Dad. Not to Covid. But lockdown restrictions are brutal and I feel like #grief in this context is a language I don’t speak - podcasts, books, tips that might help, please?
Why do our health systems often think of palliative care only in the last days of life?
An incurable disease like dementia lasts for years & causes so much suffering for a person & their family.
Quality of life matters.
