New data: Long hours (≥60 per week) & extended shifts (≥24 hours) pose a danger to patient safety & to residents.
The combination has a synergistic effect, amplifying medical errors, car crashes, and needle sticks.
It’s time to rethink the way we’ve always done things.
These point of care tests should be easily accessible in the community at local clinics/pharmacies. Not drive through only! Taking transit/car share to acquire a test is as absurd as the number of centres.
It is absolutely absurd and a gross oversight to have so few testing centres in the Greater Vancouver Area. These are the ONLY places to get a RAT in the city.
And if you don't have a vehicle I guess you can just go screw yourself. Few testing sites, spaced so far apart asymmetrically places a greater burden on low income and marginalized groups to access testing. A group performing the very essential services we aim to protect.
@MedCouncilCan@CPSA_CA An organization straining to find relevance, digging through reams and reams of administrative data to find something, anything to convince us and themselves that in 🇨🇦 in 2021, it is still needed.
This is truly and simply, just sad.
Real talk: low back pain, them feets sore, and q4min calf raises while standing (without anything to lean against and understanding 38% of the words people are saying) during ICU rounds. Quick google search says compression socks and Danskos are the answer...
Any opinions?

Two Mi’kmaq fishermen say they were followed and barricaded inside by the mob, threatened and saw thousands of pounds of Indigenous-caught lobster destroyed. One said the crowd vandalized his truck and threatened to burn the building down with him inside. https://t.co/fwtKYZ7KLQ

Thankful for the national collaboration that resulted in this publication by @JournalofGME! By the numbers: 12 (!) REB exemptions, 15 Canadian EM programs, 68 residents, & 9,842 EPA observations = a national evaluation of the @Royal_College EM CBD program! What did we find? 1/10
Huge ball of mixed terror and excitement right now (one more than the other, not saying which), but stoked to have these two amazing people as co-residents for the next 5 years! And all the incredible upper years showing us the ropes helps as well 🤗
