At some point in the last three days my Instragram algorithm changed so my feed is 90% puppies. Primarily golden retriever puppies. I'm not mad about it. #puppies #GoldenRetrievers

@theJagmeetSingh My landlord raised my rent 500 this year. 200 last year.... as an RN this vastly outpaces any raise I've gotten the last two years.

Due to the current shortage of children’s ibuprofen and acetaminophen, the health-care team at @SickKidsNews has created dosing guidelines to administer adult-strength fever and pain medication safely: https://t.co/f39POl4PY4

A downtown hospital was able to secure enough last-minute workers for its emergency room this weekend after being at risk of shutting down amid a staff shortage. https://t.co/01ogIsoyFY

@sdelbroco @TheTorontoSun Kids under two don't require a seat. They sit on a parent's lap.

@indysahota And handout the tuna sandwiches.

[Emily Higgins @ehiggins]

@indysahota Tbh, I just make sure they're breathing and have a pulse. I leave those specialized tests to the experts.

The only thing worse than the number of people who voted for Ford is the number of people who didn't vote. People dont realize how bad the healthcare system is right now. And now many RNs have and will leave. #OntarioElection2022 #OntarioVotes #Nursing #healthcare

We keep hearing how our healthcare system is collapsing (which it is). But that does nothing to improve our understanding.

Let’s use a hypothetical emergency department visit to highlight the disaster that is happening every day around the country.

@AjvictoryMD My experience with surgeons (generalizing)..they don't talk to any other HC team member like we matter ....

I am finding the lack of leadership in Ontario and Canada deeply concerning. A lot of passivity and silence in response to entitledness, hatred, and racism. @CanadianPM @JustinTrudeau @fordnation #ottawaoccupiers #FreedomConvoy2022 #TruckersGoHome
