Yesterday, I did something very dangerous as a doctor and trainee — I stood up for my patients.

Not just that, I stood up to those who have power over me, and my career.

Thinking of all healthcare providers in Alberta after I learned about the death of an ICU nurse, Season Foremsky. Season wrote about the stress of providing care during the pandemic.

I hope that her children and family are surrounded by love and support.❤️

Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

I’m a 4th year Western student and 3 time orientation leader. This entire O-Week was horrific. I helped lead a predominantly female team. There were multiple instances where myself or other sophs were screamed at, pushed, and touched inappropriately by men. 1/10

Once surgeries get cancelled the health system isn’t at risk of being overrun, it is overrun.

We are aware of the planned protests taking place outside of hospitals today. This is very concerning to all health-care workers and patients.

Please take a moment to read a brief thread.

I want to make it very clear that when doctors say “beds” what they almost universally mean is “staff”

We still aren't talking enough about the long-term effects this pandemic is already having on healthcare workers as society betrays them yet calls them heroes and expects them to smile about how the populace couldn't do the bare minimum.

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

I recently worked in a community where there was a lot of concern about the vaccine — for many reasons. My approach was to change the goal of vaccinating as many people as possible to focus on answering questions, having non-judgemental conversations & building relationships.
