It was a pleasure to speak with Dr Goldman @NightshiftMD - in a super awkward hallway just outside one of our dialysis units! My niece ended up on dialysis in Grade 11 - my brother donated his kidney (he rocks!). No province is doing more living donor kidney transplants each year. To do more, we need to diagnose the problem - but our data systems can't tell us where the bottlenecks are.

Every improvement in emergency medical care comes following an inquest or a damning media report. There has to be a better way - there is a better way - National Summit on Emergency Health Care. @CAEP_Docs
"While it is fine to solicit inputs from academics, policymakers must understand such researchers’ limitations. Beyond the specific career incentives outlined above, it is understandable why academics are predisposed to a posture of radical ignorance." https://t.co/l3svDkslK6
