@FionaMattatall@SocialObGyne I would argue much more than months. This time last year there were seven of us. You can not wait until a crisis to address issues….
So in Lethbridge, Danielle Smith was asked how the local hospital can possibly deal with 2200 births/year with only one obstetrician. DS replied: "....(something) (something) home births."
Dear Danielle Smith:
I’m a Calgary OBGYN covering labour and delivery in Lethbridge today. This is a full-blown women’s health crisis and it’s about time you treat it as such.
Feel free to call our unit. I’m working for 48hrs. Happy to discuss strategies #ableg

Sometimes, a tweet isn’t enough. Overturning Roe vs Wade to initiate restrictive and dangerous state laws will kill many mothers. Canadians must be vigilant. @dallascurow @shazmamithani https://t.co/dafXgQeBhk
My heart hurts today for women’s healthcare. As an abortion provider, I am at a loss. This is a fundamental human right and I can not believe we are even having to talk about this. Women’s health matters. Let’s actually make some decisions that show that.
I’ll be more direct than Dr Kollias: women’s health in southern AB has been decimated. And - that includes pregnancy care and deliveries. We let this happen. It’s absolutely tragic.
Heard about a critical specialty in a hospital, now down to 30% of physician workforce. This did not happen overnight but was set in motion after multiple years of bullying - leadership standing by, complicit.

We just released a new topic in the AMA’s Care Deficit Assessment Series. This one is on the impact of the COVID care deficit on women’s health. https://t.co/ypsVQKfFSg
Nearly two years after the UCP began their war on AB doctors, thousands of people in Lethbridge have no family doctor.
Yet Jason Kenney & the UCP have done nothing to address it. Instead, their mishandling of COVID is making the situation worse.
