Thank you so much to Peter and Leon for having me on and giving me the chance to chat through why and how @MedPodLearn came about. Hopefully an interesting listen. A lovely chance to mention a lot of the people who have inspired me along the way too.

Is the #VWatlas 2024 model ok @VWcanada? We have less than 20k on the odometer, and it has broken down 3 times, twice with a strange transmission issue. Is anyone else having the same issues?

We recently encountered a patient with non cirrhotic hyperammonemia. Found a review article. Made a thing. See what you think. Helpful? More?

[Leon Byker MD CCFP FRCPC @leonbyker]

Oh Elliot! What an inspiration you are!

Hey @AirCanada, wanted to bring to your attention what an amazing staff member you have at Pearson. She spent 30 mins working through a reservation for me and my family. Somehow, no tickets were issued. We were stuck. She made it better. I can send you her name...

[Leon Byker MD CCFP FRCPC @leonbyker]

@VincentLauraj Still available?

[Leon Byker MD CCFP FRCPC @leonbyker]

@Wilkinsonjonny @hannahwilko06 Amazing! We are waiting in Edmonton Canada....

@Trudeaus_Ego @JustinTrudeau @The_Plain_Bagel Spending tax dollars is not investing. No government has money. They attain it from stripping it from their people. Federal spending is a better term. However, sounds less wonderful than investing.

@CovenantCA GNH, 10CAD for this meal... meatballs that may contain real meat, veggies boiled flavorless and cooked rice... 16 hour night shift and this expensive deplorable meal. Should have packed my own.
