@TorontoPearson @aircanada lots of apologies but no explanation for why the bags are still “sitting on the tarmac” an hour and 20 minutes later.

[Katie Gardner @KMG1683]

Please explain why it’s been an hour since landing and still not a bag in sight. @TorontoPearson this seems to be the norm around here?

To fix something you must first understand what the problem is.

Here is the problem- the administrative burden of medicine is crippling patient care.

Let’s fix it.

If you can’t find liquid Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil/Motrin (ibuprofen):

1. Many pharmacies are compounding these. Call around.

2. Weigh your child. Use measured & cut portions of chewable or adult versions:
- Tylenol: 15 mg/kg every 4h
- Advil/Motrin: 10 mg/kg every 6h

Wishing everyone a deep day of reflection today. #NDTR #NDTR2022

@Brian_M_Wong Same - what a strange experience to feel like I already knew you well. Learning was even better in person (although great on Zoom!)

[Katie Gardner @KMG1683]

Back-to-school for mom too! Excellent two days of learning and really looking forward to the year ahead with this impressive group.
