37 year Indigenous Family Practice- done. Womb to Tomb, Cradle to Grave, Medical Director Six Nations Community Paramedic Prog. MAID. It all makes sense now.

This is a great speech and EVERY SINGLE #CANADIAN should listen to it.

I don’t care if Blake Lively is labeled a ‘mean girl’ or ‘difficult to work with.’ I’ve been labeled difficult to work with many times in my life and you know what ‘difficult to work with’ is code for?

Sticking up for yourself and not letting people walk all over you.

After 35 years in practice now developing Community Paramedic Program to an indigenous( co-morbidities! ) population Boots on the Ground , Assessments in the Home. Medical directives, continuity of care, family doctor interface. Gotta do something! It’s bad out there!

[Kay M. Dingwell🍁🩺🏳️‍🌈 @CanadianKayMD]

You’re waiting because there are a lot of Marys out there, who end up with long hospital stays for serious illness that could’ve been prevented & there are a lot of patients like Mary’s mother, stuck in acute care beds they don’t need but without a safe next step.

[Dr.Andrea East. MD MUMC 1980 @sixeast]

we saw this coming
20 years ago!
And we clearly told the OMA, CPSO and the politics of the day that family doctors were aging out!
And now it’s to allow private healthcare

[Kay M. Dingwell🍁🩺🏳️‍🌈 @CanadianKayMD]

When patients show up sicker, they stay longer. Without a family doctor they’re harder to discharge or they bounce back.

Inpatient units at capacity can’t accept patients from emerg.

You’re not waiting in the waiting room for 10 hours because someone showed up with a paper cut.

For the first time in almost 30 years, my stocking was filled and I’m pretty sure it’s because last year after everyone opened their gifts I said, “How come no one ever fills my fucking stocking?”

[Dr.Andrea East. MD MUMC 1980 @sixeast]

@drdagly We have been given this immense gift, as physicians. To care for someone “to the very end,” Each one is an honour . It’s our calling.

[Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦 @ShamjiAdil]

Today, we leaked a report @fordnation was hiding.

• 4.1M people aren’t signed up with a family doctor

• 3M more could lose theirs within five years

• 205 municipalities don’t have a single family doctor signing up patients

Doug Ford has failed us all.

@TeresaS54146 @alandrummond2 @OttawaCitizen Of course we saw this coming
20 years ago!
And we clearly told the OMA, CPSO and the politics of the day that family doctors were aging out!
Agree it’s to allow private healthcare

[Dr.Andrea East. MD MUMC 1980 @sixeast]

@drmsgandhi @DennisKendel Not to mention admin staff do not work evenings or weekends. Get paid holidays, benefits and pensions.
More sick people, less people laying on of hands!

Doug Ford, please make your way to my office. @fordnation #politics #conservative

Woke Hollyweird actress Elizabeth Banks encourages people to vote for Kamala, saying:

Here in California, we know Kamala, and we know that she’s been getting ready to become president for a long time. And she’s really meeting the moment 🥺

My wife stopped cutting my hair. For the first time in 28 years I had to go to a barber. They gave me a deal as I knew them. In the end, the barber charged almost identical to what I could charge as a family doctor for the same time…2

Quite seriously, I think the impact of pharmacists prescribing for minor illness has had a negligible effect on ER volumes and ER wait times.
We are no better off than when this bullshit program started, although Shoppers' Drug Mart is undoubtedly far better off financially.

[Dr.Andrea East. MD MUMC 1980 @sixeast]

@TheRealDoctorT Also experienced in primary care when
High risk referrals are refused. Communities are sicker post covid and there’s no room in the ‘ inn’ to work them up! Burden of care needs to be shared.

[Dr. Adam Ogieglo 🇨🇦 @AOgieglo]

This is a good idea.

(I will always give credit where it is due)

@DennisKendel Yes Mr Kendal , your posts for me, have reminded me of my elders. Men who were kind, patience and had integrity. They persevered, were accountable and served others. Like my father.

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

We all get privatizing the LCBO means over 2 Billion lost to you and me, right?! We own it and we profit from it. Muskoka Ford wants his friends to profit from it.

That's the choice - our money or his money. What'll it be Ontario?

[Dr.Andrea East. MD MUMC 1980 @sixeast]

@DennisKendel My sincere condolences
May your shared love bring you comfort in time.
