Advocacy against non-MD healthcare misrepresentation:
Long thread alert!
Work started in Nov 2017 when I filed a formal complaint against an Ontario naturopath (ND) using "physician" as part of valediction in letters. Um..no, that's illegal.

@SallyMayweather @JoseDominio Honest question - if masks were useless for reducing microbe transmission, will you be suggesting your surgeon and anaesthesist forgo these these things the next time you might need a surgery?

Last time I checked, those physicians aren't "morons" for wearing masks.

@DocMCohen @CaulfieldTim @jonathanstea @RyanMarino @MaryFernando_ @HislopMD @FionaMattatall @BadScienceWatch @BadMedicalTakes @AlexPowerMD Should be added to routine preventative health screening? : testing for pesticides that may be wreaking havoc with your left adrenal medulla. 🤯

Also note a lesson in how to write VERY PRECISE dosing instructions.

None of this lazy M.D. style "take as directed" nonsense. Lol

@DocMCohen @CaulfieldTim @jonathanstea @RyanMarino @MaryFernando_ @HislopMD @FionaMattatall @BadScienceWatch @BadMedicalTakes @AlexPowerMD Brb I need to find the best ever homeopathic prescription a patient showed me once, which had "changed her life"

[Quynh Nguyen, MSc MBChB CCFP @DrQuynh_ner]

@DocMCohen Brilliant reply to that garbage piece 🙌

I support patients making an informed choice about what who provides their care.
But the choice is only infomed if the provider is fully transparent and accurately represents their education and training.

@DocMCohen @jonathanstea @HislopMD @yanyu247 @FamPhysCan @shirleyschipper @CaulfieldTim @VikCBC @picardonhealth @sharon_kirkey @AlexPowerMD @ryarmst @alexnatarosMD I am awaiting the outcome of my complaint against this Naturopath who is defensive and unremorseful about the use of family medicine terminology and how it could be confusing for patients.

Just your average innocent "oversight" or "typo".

@HislopMD @yanyu247 @DocMCohen @FamPhysCan @shirleyschipper @CaulfieldTim @VikCBC @picardonhealth @sharon_kirkey @AlexPowerMD @ryarmst @jonathanstea @alexnatarosMD Wow, I thought I'd seen it all in terms of permutations for misrepresentation...
"specialized internship" 🤔

@DocMCohen @RyanMarino @Mau46238080 There's also no reports of him receiving any injections of disinfectants which might "knock it out in a minute, one minute... Almost a cleaning" 🤔

@HislopMD Not feeling that great about my life choices to move to the UK 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Bravo to some parts of the UK government who are calling for urgent action to expand COVID-19 testing for key workers.

Please help us get back into the fight against this invisible enemy, if we are safe to do so. 💪👩‍⚕️😷

Meanwhile, what is the clinical criteria that allows @TRHGreatBritain members to get tested with mild or no symptoms?

Asking for a friend. 🤔

[Quynh Nguyen, MSc MBChB CCFP @DrQuynh_ner]

Whilst the rest of us behave responsibly during this global public health crisis...

This conspiracy theorist continues to call herself "Dr" and is spreading dangerous, possibly criminal, ideas. 😡🤯

Please report and shut her down on all online platforms. 🙅🏻‍♂️

@VictoriaMomoh11 @DocMCohen The National Organisation for naturopaths in Canada 100% know what they are trying to do

[Quynh Nguyen, MSc MBChB CCFP @DrQuynh_ner]

Here we go again. 😡

Imagine patients hoping to register with a Family Med clinic and seeing this ad with a "Doctor" wearing a stethoscope and advertising "Family Medicine" services...

What could possibly go wrong? 😬

Public deserve more action from Regulators against this.

[Quynh Nguyen, MSc MBChB CCFP @DrQuynh_ner]

@VictoriaMomoh11 @DocMCohen Naturopaths love using that 'accessory' to increase the apparent legitimacy of their claim to be "Medically Trained"
