@HeartInstitute@cwhhs@CWHHC@HeartandStroke@UBC @CCI_CIC @thaiscoutinhoCV@Women__Heart @khhumphries Michelle's story is about her heart attack and cardiac arrest, but the real message here is about being dismissed and misdiagnosed for months before her symptoms were finally taken seriously...
BELIEVE WOMEN WHEN WE TELL YOU WE'RE SICK!
#CWHHS2023
Why was it this person's responsibility to insist doctor's take her seriously? How do we change the system so that health concerns are not dismissed simply for being a woman, or for being Black or for having a psychiatric condition, etc
Michelle Logeot, woman with lived experience, is one of the many women who shared their heart’s journey at the @cwhhs. She shares her story and an important message for women: not taking no for an answer. #CWHHS2023
I have an idea:
The crisis that exists in hospital based care is in part due to a nursing shortage
1) pay nurses’ tuition
2) index nurses’ salary to police salary
ONA along with 4 other healthcare unions are calling on @fordnation to halt his plan for private, for-profit surgical clinics: a risky venture that will cost Ontarians dearly and damage access to public care.

Can the media focus on issues that matter to the public?! Please stop the coverage about flight delays over the holidays. It was a weather event that affected the privileged. Meanwhile, all but one of my patients are homeless, go hungry & our healthcare system has collapsed.
Treating unhoused folks with dignity and providing housing is cheaper than criminalizing homelessness. It also has the added benefit of being humane and effective in addressing the root cause of the problem.
The majority of the land in Canada is non agriculture. You don't have to travel very far north in Ontario before the soil quality + growing season decline. Destroying farmland when we have a growing population is quite frankly, short sighted.#HandsOffTheGreenbelt#RepealBill23 🧵
This Christmas please don’t say we can’t afford housing for all. We can no longer afford the cruelty of the status quo.
A month in provincial jail costs: $9,400
Month in hospital: $20,100
Month in shelter: $6,600
Social housing per month: $2,500
Housing is a human right.
While the legislature is wraps up today, @fordnation's failures continue on. Underfunding public healthcare and education, selling off farmland, undermining democracy, legislated poverty, trampled over workers rights, no paid sick days...

Annual reminder on #Dec6, the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre. Please stop saying the 14 women were murdered "simply because they were women" and name that their deaths were a violent act fueled by misogyny and anti-feminist beliefs. Name it. #16Days
I still can’t believe they’ve got hospitals calling the Red Cross for help when Ontario under spent on healthcare by ~$900 million in the first half of this year.
Ontarians deserve better.
Ontarians deserve a healthcare system that doesn’t rely on the Red Cross to bail us out.
