ER Doc. Are MDs all-knowing & infallible? Hell no! Is our knowledge & exp. better at distilling the past 3+ yrs than the avg keyboard warrior? Obvi! 🤦‍♂️

Jan 29/25 Statement on @GoAHealth
Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Data Review Task Force Report

The EZMSA echoes @Albertadoctors and @CMA_Docs to reiterate the Task Force report is anti-science and anti-evidence.

We focus our comments on vaccine recommendations in the report:

-COVID-19 is 4th leading cause of death for Albertans

-risk of virus infection is currently higher than vaccine adverse events

-Vaccines are best protection for COVID-19

Our recommendation:

@GoAHealth follow the Canada Immunization Guide as a comprehensive resource on immunization, and discard Task Force report recommendations.

The guide recommends all individuals age six months and over may receive an updated vaccine dose, and this is particularly recommended for individuals identified as being at higher risk, some of whom are also recommended for additional doses.

Hey @Sportsnet maybe don’t have your broadcasters @LouDeBrusk and @EdmontonJack pump the opposing players with a #goldenticket

@AB_EMS_War_Room @DShepYEG That’s my point…

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@ABDanielleSmith THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY!

We already do this in the ER. We have separate streams for less acute patients. They are not the problem. The problem is the downstream inpatient beds blocked by patients awaiting long-term care.
Elderly care is broken (poor planning for aging Boomers)

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@LichTamara Ohhh right… the anniversary of that time you and a bunch of ignorant anti-science crybabies stormed our capital to try to overthrow our gov’t because *checks notes* the US gov’t wouldn’t let you cross THEIR border cuz you refused to take a vaccine during a global pandemic.🤔🤦‍♂️🤡

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

Thanks for this number! I’ve just called (and emailed, thanks to the posts in the thread), to express my disgust with this dog-whistling policy, designed to pander to her far-right handlers, in response to a made up problem which will negatively impact Trans youths.
Took <2 min.

If you support Premier Smith as SHE supports parents who want to protect their kids from harm, make the call and say so...

"The Alberta government is getting a lot of pushback on the gender legislature and are asking for supporters to come forward. You can easily voice your support by phoning the Premier’s office

"Her office is keeping a tally of positive phone calls verses negative, so please call her office to thank her, and tell her you are in support of what she has done.

"The number is 1-780-427-2251 (then press 2 to speak with the receptionist ).

"Please pass this on to as many people as you can.

"The legislation passed was to ban transgender surgeries to kids 17 and younger, to ban hormone therapy to kids 15 and younger, and to require parental consent for 15 and younger who want to change their name and pronouns at school."

Please also call or email your MLA

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@CaulfieldTim Younger generations having kids don’t remember what it’s like to have vaccine-preventable illnesses circulating freely causing morbidity and mortality (myself included!). It’s created a laissez faire attitude towards these diseases.
Not excited about having to see them again.

OMG, make it a new national holiday! 😂

[Danielle Smith ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(Parody) @ABDanielSmith]

Today we commemorate the Battle of Billings Bridge where Canadians stood up to an unlawful occupation.

It shows the strength ordinary citizens have to stand up and affect change when police & politicians do nothing.

Let us take time to remember the truly courageous.

@spacemanfranko @DarrylLearie @TheBreakdownAB Your misunderstanding of biology doesn’t make it confusing to those of us who do.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@DarrylLearie @TheBreakdownAB Don’t try to confuse us with your $cience!

To suggest otherwise would be preposterous! 😉

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Well this video is sure to make a few folks uncomfortable.

For the “there are only two genders” crowd…

Nope.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@DaytimePubSmell @TheBreakdownAB Did you watch the video?

What sex is the speaker? What box would you put them in?

Try to keep it binary, but defend your conclusion for us please.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@catglasreamhar @TheBreakdownAB @SwipeWright @RichardDawkins What a load of hot garbage!

Reductionist, over-simplistic, self-defeating & clearly biased.

He presents all the complexity of the gender spectrum, applies zero logic to it & relies on dismissive humor without actually refuting any of the scientific points presented.

Fail. 👎🏻👎🏻

Postinfectious cough in adults https://t.co/f49d8aXgnj

We get a lot of people in the ER with their post-viral coughs looking for relief.
Sorry folks, there just isn’t anything that works well enough…
Up to 8-weeks can be considered “normal”.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@ChrisTesar Since you have so much medical knowledge, you can explain to me CAH, and the in utero effects of hormone exposure on genital development and gender expression & extrapolate that to transgenderism? Twin studies of trans people? Brain PET scans?

Who’s confused?

Educate yourself.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

How does any rational human being not see how absolutely stupid this woman’s logic is?! 🤬

A kid won’t come out at school if their home life isn’t safe and a teacher is forced to Out them.

Is the closet really where this vile #UCPIsTBA Party wants these most vulnerable kids?

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Today Smith was asked about teachers having to put kids to parents and is there any consideration for when there are tragic results…

Her response?

“Absolutely won’t happen, as long as kids aren’t out, no notification will be required”.

@MonicaMarchand5 You’re right on both points: they’re not a news organization, and the quotes aren’t a direct line from the audio. But it’s certainly the point of her message, so the outcome is the same.

[Steve Fisher, MD (he/him) @Fish100MD]

@ABDanielleSmith @ABintheUSA @JamesRajotte How you feeling on Roe v Wade after hanging out down there…?
