I'm a couple days behind but just had a chance to watch @MichelleObama 's full speech to the DNC. Do yourself a favour & find 20 minutes to watch. Bring Kleenex. I am overcome with hope for what's possible when humble, hard-working people lead like this. https://t.co/E1xDLwGOgp

Hey Ontario,
You know all those COVID deaths you haven't reported publicly?

@Inf45 of @canadanurses and @clairehsnyman join @AlikaMD for a conversation on how to move forward 👇
The outcome of the recent health ministers’ meeting was disappointing and didn’t put health care providers and patients at the forefront of decision-making.
Where do we go from here?
Hear from @AlikaMD, @Inf45 of @canadanurses and @clairehsnyman 👇

According to our projections, we expect to be able to clean the entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch (containing 100,000,000kg of plastic) using ten systems based on System 03.
As an anthropologist studying EM and clinician practicing it, the best definition I have for the speciality is:
Capably navigating acuity and uncertainty together.
Constant challenges make it harder to live that mission. This is value incongruence and it's a big problem.
