This is a big deal - @UAlberta first in Canada!
SO cool.
It’s not just because it sounds sci-fi.

“Robot” surgery requires a VERY skilled human at the controls, but gives great 3D visualization, allows amazing precision and dexterity, smaller incisions- and faster recovery.

@jaimelandmanuci Any impact on renal pain with this denervation?

[Max Levine @maxlevineMD]

@gabefabreau Not to mention everything costs 50% more when it is available!

[Gabriel Fabreau MD, MPH, FRCPC @gabefabreau]

#UCP privatized our hospital cafeteria. No food for those on weekend call. A disaster, just like the lab.

How are we supposed to recruit & retain #healthcare staff when we can’t even feed them as they work 24/7?

Kaycee Madu attempts to interfere with the administration of justice and he's made Labour Minister. Tyler Shandro is under law society investigation and he's made Justice Minister. Verna Yiu does her job and she's fired. That's the UCP's Alberta. #ableg #abhealth

@wandering_gu We have started TAP blocks before lap donor nephrectomies. Anecdotally has dramatically reduced pain and opioid use. Currently looking to review this practice. We re also putting TAP catheters in KTx recips - HUGE drop in narcotic use. No PCAs anymore

Another Christmas we curtail seeing family , another blatant UCP middle finger to Albertans. ⁦@Alberta_UCP⁩ another version of #AlohaAllard https://t.co/r3dCYLsd1A
