An absolute grand slam thread for my paramedic peeps. Thanks Sammy!

So, our Emergency Department is quite busy.

Why? Let’s chat.

Over the past week, our ED has been seeing an increase of patients. Patients are presenting with a higher acuity – meaning they’re sicker and require more care from the team. 1/6

So...Ontario Science Table is now reporting an estimated 100-120K daily cases of #Covid19. If you are debating whether to put on a mask, get vaccinated or limit your indoor contacts, please don't wait. Just do it. All of it.

Can heart transplant recipients experience vasovagal syncope??

This came up during my time in the CCU, here's a short 🧵 investigating this question. Special thanks to @AHajduczok of @TJHeartFellows.

Let's first start with how vasovagal syncope normally occurs...

There is still time

Lots of people asking me to provide a summary of yesterdays Wigglesworth Memorial Lecture. In the lecture I discussed 10 lessons that I have learned about Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) through 20 years of applied #humanfactors research. Here they are!

@MattRousselle @Renfrewcpru @MattRousselle thank you for your time and wisdom. Much appreciated.

There's been a lot said lately about our dear social media intern, Bruce. And now, Bruce would like to say a few words...

I consider myself very fortunate to work for an organization like @STARSambulance. The patient is the number 1 priority. A generous anonymous donor will donate $100 to STARS for every tweet and retweet of #psacStarsandSpurs

[Shawn Walters @ShawnWalters2]

I posted this a couple years ago, but the meaning rings true now, more than ever. Surround yourself with people who know how or when to check in. #BellLetsTalk

Premier Ford gives COVID shoutout to #CommunityParamedics and Chief Mike Nolan for “taking the bull by the horns like paramedics do on emergency calls and not waiting for 18000 signatures from Government but just getting out there and getting the job done”

If you live in Renfrew County or South Algonquin and you need COVID testing, call ⁦@rcvtac⁩ 1-844-727-6404.

Only those with new symptoms or if told by a Public Health official need testing.

Please be patient. You may have to hold on the line. We’ll help you ASAP.

[Jonathan Fitzsimon @DrFitzsimon]

The medical receptionists working for @rcvtac are incredible! Close to 900 calls today, 3 times our previous busiest day. You enable VTAC family doctors to do assessments and VTAC community paramedics to do COVID testing + home visits. You are a vital part of the team, thank you!
