@ChWood321 Looks great to me!

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@RBC I would if your system kept the line open. You have dropped the calls. I will try again today. @rbc wish me luck.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@RBC rewards - still waiting to talk to someone. I’ve called several times and have waited over 5h total. I’m supposed to travel this Thursday. I need something more reliable than the number you provided in your reply to last tweet.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@RBC This is exactly what I did. Held in queue for 3h30min and call dropped. Is there an option to request a callback? The only option right is entirely @rbc centred. Not client centred.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@RBC travel rewards. On hold 3h30mins and call dropped. Online options are useless to cancel or modify booking. Are there other options than waiting on hold?

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@watersCBC Unfortunately not able to at this time.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@watersCBC Thanks for invitation. My apologies as I just saw request.

When I am not in the office I am in the hospital or doing administrative work. I will add this new program to my long list of work related activities.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

@JeanneCBC @infoamfred thanks for great interview with Dr. MacMillan. To clarify, as one of the MDs who will likely be providing service for this initiative, I do not have additional time on my hands. I am not sitting around waiting for things to do.

[David Vaillancourt @drdv8110]

In fact, most Family MDs do not have extra time on their hands. We will be doing this work to help our patients, communities and the system. @nb_docs the messaging could have been more accurate. It contributes to the idea that we are busy golfing when not in the office.

#sim multitasking. Thanks to faculty and staff in Fredericton, our @DalhousieU FM residents and Med students are getting great exposure to sick patients in a safe learning environment.

#sim day in Fredericton! Residents and Medical students are up for the challenge!

Here’s a fun fact: there are more skin cancers diagnosed each year in the USA than all other cancers combined!

Of these, most are basal cell carcinomas. So let’s talk for a minute about the most common human malignancy: BCCs!
