My Emerg and Internal Med colleagues have literally been pleading for help from reorganized leads for the last 2yrs…

Not a single one of them can actually point to who is running the full system.

Time for Dr. Diamond and Minister Jones to step up and outline leadership/plan

[Friends of Medicare @FriendsMedicare]

Edmonton is the 'frostbite capital' of Canada, with record amputations each year.

This is a devastating public health crisis that demands urgent solutions. And we need our government to start treating it as such.

“Failed to advocate for system wide change”… you’re not even trying to pay attention.
At the AMA I spent 3yrs advocating for improved Fam Med funding and system wide change! To say otherwise is laughable
Primary care foundation must be improved, but won’t change EDOC

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

So much of RFK Jr's MAGA anti-vaxx move deeply problematic.

Science-free, arbitrary, nonsensical, & made without any real expert input.

But the fearmorgering lies might do most damage.

Reality: these vaccines safe, effective, studied, monitored, etc.

Four days in an ED where the lights never go out and it never gets quiet… most people have no idea what kind of torture that can be… plus it adds to morbidity and mortality

Guarantee our Premier and MLAs would never stand (lay on a hard crummy stretcher) for it!

[Braden Manns @BradenMannsYYC]

What a sordid affair, but par for the course. There’s a pattern emerging - Marshall Smith fired weeks before he was found to have a major role in this scandal. Now Andre Tremblay put on leave - seemingly as his (and GoAs) role will be further exposed. https://t.co/5iqfKzW3jk

Hey #medhat! Have you been following along with the release of the Medicine Hat Healthy Communities video series?

[Andrea Dekeseredy @AndieWinnipeg]

The University of Alberta Board of Governors approved a 75% increase in graduate nursing tuition as well as a 50% increase in education to maintain "quality."

These programs are predominantly women

Today is also the first week we no longer have affiliated child care on campus.

This is not how we solve our healthcare crisis folks.

The Alberta Healthcare Disaster, with Dr. Paul Parks

@PfParks' unfiltered description of AB's health system catastrophe is unsettling.

Who's responsible? @abdaniellesmith.

Share this interview. Every Albertan should watch it.

Take a listen. 👇
Our emerg system is in absolute crisis and all our govt can say is:
“1000 new beds” promised to be thought about being built at some point to be determined as long as political whims don’t change before they are completed in 2035 or so…

Former AHS director alleges he was under surveillance, harassed because he pushed back against Premier Danielle Smith govt and its decision to fire the health agency's CEO

Well ain’t that something… a lawyer w ties to Sam Mraiche has connection to podcasters who are intentionally harassing people involved in corruptcare scandal..

I’ve been told this podcaster even mentioned my name… wonder why I got on this list? For advocating for the truth???

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Albertans - "We're having a healthcare crisis! Please help!"

UCP - "Ok, but... and hear us out here, what if we just made everything worse..."

New bombshell in the Alberta Health Care Scandal courtesy of the Globe and Mail.

The person accused of harassing a former AHS board member critical of the UCP says he was hired by a lawyer.

The lawyer has ties to Sam Mraiche.

How could they think this wouldn't get out?

[Parksy @PfParks]

Our system is really struggling… and our Premier is silent…

ICU AT 97% capacity.
Edmonton Zone unable to safely accept out of zone pts….

Severe overcrowding in all of our hospitals…

[🇮🇪 🇨🇦 🇯🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @YYCCowboy]

*NEW* AHS Update V002 (Of 2026!) - ICU - ** 218 (+25) of 224 beds occupied or 97% of beds are full ** . ICU Record not seen since DEC 10, 2023! It’s been 1,177 Days since Danielle Smith said, “HEALTHCARE FIXED IN 90 DAYS!!” Update on Closures, Diversions, Major Uptick in ILI/Respiratory Cases & More.. Buckle Up!

[Parksy @PfParks]

The tragic death of Mr. Sreekumar was not the only WR death on the same day at the same ED
Another frail elderly pt had a cardiac arrest in the EMS offload waiting area as well… but no one was there to film it and to advocate for that person

What is our govt’s HC disaster plan?
