Self-reflection: Which one of the two news have you heard in the media? I would be surprised if it was the 300 Pakistani migrants. I got updates about the Titanic submarine every 30 min or so. #restorehumanity

@actfoundation @SylviaJonesMPP @adriandix @cdube_sante @JasonCoppingAB @AdrianaLaGrange @BDrainvilleQc @RachnaSinghNDP @Sflecce Hello. I am working on a Harm reduction project. I came across the Naloxone education in schools program, which will be conducted by your foundation. How and where can I get the report on the Ottawa pilot program. Thank you!

@MichelleSairsel @evandegr @agy_lena Here are some studies. However, there are numerous anecdotal reports of patients who had significant improvement in quality of life parameters including fatigue, sleep, and pain.

Severe ME/CFS & Long Covid is a living hell.

We *must* accelerate research & funding into these conditions.

💸 Economic cost is major & growing
📉 Quality of Life is amongst worst of any illness
💰 Funding relative to disease burden is among the very lowest

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

@kevinnbass Wow, and you are a medical student. The threat comes from two things 1. higher prevalence of COVID with a higher chance of PACS 2. QALYs lost due to the illness. If you can't understand these, it might be a good time to leave the field for those who do.

@VOCMNEWS International physicians and nurses are working other unrelated jobs while ERs in many parts of the province are closing. Make it easier for foreign healthcare professionals to work here.#WeAreReady #access #equity @CFPCNL @TomOsborneMHA @FureyAndrew

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

Spot on @syamala3110. We are, in fact, giving up on Canada. It is not worth spending thousands of dollars on exams and observerships....to get nowhere. How do u talk abt quality when there is no service in the first place @CFPC_e @QualityofCareNL

Good job! But we need to work on preventive strategies such as intensifying the #WASH projects.

[UNICEF Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia]

UNICEF thanks @MofaJapan_en and @JapanEthiopia for their significant contribution to tackling the ongoing #cholera outbreak in southern Ethiopia including kits to establish Cholera Treatment Centre, inpatient care, infection prevention materials & case management support.

It was a fantastic experience to attend this program with you guys!!!!! #MED6288 @Mayysam Your incentives worked many published OP-EDs and poster presentations......

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

Just want to say thank you to my Policy and Decision Making class and @Mayysam for a great semester! It was lovely to engage with and learn from all of you, cheers to our next endeavours! #MED6288 #MPH

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

Excellent! U've made great points, especially since it is challenging for the demographic group who use plan B to pay $40 in that narrow window! Access should always be accompanied by affordability, and It is lacking here #MED6288

[Kelsey Stanford @kels_m_s]

I wrote an Op-Ed on British Columbia’s new policy change to make prescription contraceptives free and why this policy should be adopted across Canada. An interesting read and important topic to be addressed. #MED6288 https://t.co/MOTDJmeswN

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

Great article, Tessa! I love that you pointed out that the demand will increase due to physicians retiring or moving to other provinces, and the growing population. Policymakers must consider all of these and plan ahead.#MED6288

[Tessa Eleanor Firth @tessa_e_firth]

I wrote an Op-Ed based on addressing the family physician shortage in Atlantic Canada if interested in reading #MED6288 #PhysicianShortage

I really don't know why it is difficult for Canada to do the same!!! #MED6288 @MedCouncilCan @CaRMS_CA @CFPC_e

Check out my op-ed! #MED6288

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

Nice one, Gordon! I liked your perspective. I hope the rural communities will have a platform where their unique needs are identified and addressed. #MED6288

If you haven't already looked at the federal budget that was released yesterday, there was little mention of Northern areas of Canada. Northern regions are experiencing an extreme housing crisis & are disproportionately affected by climate change. Canada must do better. #MED6288

[Ephrem Kirub,MD @meta201012]

The disparity in SDH is the result of this kind of inequitable budgeting. #MED6288 #reform #attentionforindeginoushealth

[NunavutWatch @NunavutWatch]

Nunavut ignored by Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government in 2023 federal budget; no new housing construction announced for this summer, while "contribute to our government's efforts" continues overcrowding for Nunavummiut

@KashifMD Looks like a third-degree AV nodal block. However, there seems to be a junctional escape rhythm as well. Please enlighten us.
