If u could follow I would b so grateful this account is in memory of my daughter who died aged 19 yrs 5 days
It's her journey from diagnosis to death in 2016 I'm desperately trying so hard to raise awareness of brain cancer especially the dreaded grade 4 glioblastoma with thanks

[Philip Viater @PViaterLawyer]

It's official. Wonderful news.

[Sandy Tecimer @SandyTecimer]

Thank you @forlittlekeira for your endless advocacy. Kiera will never be forgotten. And so many women and children will hopefully get the justice and protection they deserve.

Breaking news! Today Bill 102 was granted Royal Assent. This means that Keira’s Law is now law in #Ontario mandating training on gender-based #IPV and coercive control for provincial court judges and justices of the peace. @forlittlekeira @MillcroftAD

Dear incoming interns:

Remember that your attendings have been practicing medicine for years, while you're essentially getting a new job every 4 weeks.

Know that your job is not to know everything. You job is to show up, ask questions, & care deeply for your patients.

@drkimalexander your mom is right! I just got your newsletter & the story about Alice (a happy one!) brought tears to my eyes.

Looking forward to the next one, it was so informative, easy to read and compassionate ❤️

People complain about long Wait times to get non-urgent appointments & long waits in the office. But what do you think we are doing? Caring for someone else who needs it.

Happy Pride Month from your favorite gay surgeon! Visibility is important. I can’t tell you the number of wonderful conversations I’ve had with my patients because I proudly wear my 🏳️‍🌈 pin to work daily. And I will fight to keep creating these safe spaces. Happy Pride!

I would argue most family doctors are working beyond their actual capacity, to try to make up for systemic failures. And it’s not working anymore.

[The College of Family Physicians of Canada @CFPC_e]

Many family doctors are working beyond their desired capacity further inducing high or severe work-related burnout. Learn more about the experiences of family doctors since the onset of COVID-19: https://t.co/9jpn38IJXq

@davidcarr333 Thank you, didn’t know this existed!

@donnyd @nytimes Thank you for sharing

@MPaiMD Thank you ❤️❤️

[Menaka Pai, MSc MD FRCPC @MPaiMD]

Today's World Family Doctor Day. These MDs are the *foundation* of healthcare. Beyond recognition, they need resources, remuneration, respect, & the influence on our system that befits their training & expertise. Much ❤️ to my FP friends & the FPs who care for my fam! #WFDD2023

@DocMCohen points to the blurry lines of who fills the void when primary care can’t do it anymore.
