As of today,
It is illegal to intimidate doctors
It is illegal to intimidate nurses
It is illegal to intimidate patients,
It is illegal to obstruct them from providing care or receiving it.

This law was passed unanimously in the House of Commons, and it comes into force today.

@GlenBandiera You are a class act. I am grateful for your leadership over the years and I hope there is more to come.

If you are an Ontario ER doctor please sign this open letter. As we head into a 4th wave we are in a nursing staffing crisis. Burnout, PTSD and stagnating wages are leading to Nurses leaving their profession in droves. https://t.co/Nh8cL0wg6F @davidcarr333 @EMCases @HowardOvens

@ASPphysician @NEJM Sorry for the extra o in my "too". My wife is a copywriter and she would not be impressed with my grammar.

@ASPphysician @NEJM By my reading only 9 of over 1000 vaccinated HCWs had any long haul problems and only 1 missed more than 6 weeks of work. Not too trivialize their suffering but I expected worse numbers

Toronto's parks and beaches are like a huge open air pub. May as well open outdoor patios. Hard to blame people for wanting this.

At least one third of the ED patients that I saw last night had a COVID related reason for their visit. Most were infected while working at "essential" manufacturing/construction jobs. There is no economy without healthy workers

@carbanas88 Usuall neurology, ID or rheumatology at a teaching hospital. Always love the help though.

[John Foote @docfoote]

@carbanas88 The kind messages from former residents mean a lot to me. Thanks to all

Should we tailor performance feedback to trainee’s level of confidence? Would hate to make struggling trainee’s mental health worse.

@ETtube @petrosoniak @HeatherM211 @First10EM @drdeepasoni @hrosenberg33 @MehtaAnalysis @tdoterdoc Yes. Used it once in 2005 on a guy who turned blue after eating a sausage with too many nitrates apparently

The graphic shown here is very encouraging. It shows that - so far - the number of #COVID19 patients in ICU beds in Ontario is much lower than even best-case projections. BUT - we cannot let up on all of the social distancing measures! #StayHome #FlattenTheCurve
