We should be allowed to refer to family medicine from the ER, with a consult code, until everyone has access to primary care. Either our system believes in the power of primary care, or it doesn’t. No in-between.
Just heard about another med student being declined on the @AFMC_e portal with 6w before start date and losing all their app money despite applying early. System needs to be revamped ASAP @CFMSFEMC#meded#MedStudentTwitter
External fixation with Dr. Mann in our #ortho session. Our students get to play with power tools and learn the principles of bone healing @AilishMarie11@RaeWoodhouse@mere_poole

What a stark contrast to the new abortion laws being introduced in the US. While no system is perfect, I’m extremely proud at how highly Canada values patient-centred care.

Jeopardy host Alex Trebek tells @RosieBarton he wants to be a voice for cancer patients and was surprised by the support he received from around the world after his diagnosis.
