Mild-mannered mom by day, Emerg Doc by night. Used to blog at but now my short attention span limits me to twittering.

So, Doug Ford said he’s listening to Dr. Moore. Dr. Moore says he consulted the Ontario Science Table. The Ontario Science Table opposes the lifting of mask mandates at this time. Who’s lying? Personally, I trust the Science Table.

@NightShiftMD A lot of docs had nothing to do in early pandemic… OR’s closed, outpt offices closed, etc. Made sense to give them work. Now, however, ALL trained medical personnel are in short supply.

[ER dweller @DrCouz]

@arghavan_salles @MorganSLevy Definitely not. We’ve seen similar patterns in the ED. It’s been a topic of discussion among the women docs… not all the male docs will acknowledge it as an issue though.

Today I was mansplained COVID, disease incidence, hospitalization rates and why the vaccine ‘is useless’. I am an ED physician with 12 years experience and a https://t.co/57i2BnhlBy in Epidemiology.

I’m just DONE with this damn pandemic.

@IDontBlog @JustTrace9 I was diagnosed in med school. Not medicated until I finished having babies. When I first moved here my family doc didn’t ‘believe’ in adult ADD and wouldn’t prescribe. I left his practice. Now I have a doc who knows that science is true, whether or not it fits with your beliefs.

@IDontBlog @JustTrace9 You need a new GP.

Today’s rainy conference viewing... #EEM2021

[ER dweller @DrCouz]

Enjoying pre-summer with my favourite conference of the year... particularly loving the fact that @EmICUcanada and @arunsayal1 are adding Canadian content! #EEM2021

[ER dweller @DrCouz]

@MikePallaci Exactly what we’ve seen here as well. Not just your shop.

I can’t even with this media-driven hysterical bullshit. Use the damn vaccines. If not here, then donate to a country in worse shape than ours.

[@Happy_Belmore @Happy_Belmore]

First Christine Elliott, and now Dr. Williams, seem to be conceding that AstraZeneca doses will, in all likelihood, be allowed to expire. The feels like an obscenity being cast on the memory of people who have died, and continue to die, for want of a vaccine in their arm. #OnPoli

I’ve recently discovered that there are some things you can’t unsee in EMS and the ER for that matter too.

I wonder if people outside the medical field realize what people in healthcare carry with them.

[ER dweller @DrCouz]

@ChrisMoskal That, in a nutshell, describes the pivotal moment that I went from being a plastics keener to an emerg keener.

When this nation called upon Gen-X to stay home, they hit the couch with Animal Crossing harder than any of us, and when we called upon them to get the jab, they stormed the streets like there were only ten Lollapalooza tickets left.

Respect.

[Suzanne Legue @Suzanne_Legue]

Think Wave 3 of this pandemic isn’t that bad? A month ago, @TeamRVH was caring for 3 COVID patients. Today, we have 53. Spoke with an ICU doc today who confessed “I’m scared. This is catastrophic.” Please, please follow all public health measures.

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

The AstraZeneca #COVID19 vaccine will now be available to those 40 years & older in Ontario, starting April 20 (previously for 55+ years).

There are ~1400 pharmacies in the province & Family Docs administering this vaccine.

Smart move. This will help.
