Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding!

We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES!

Impact of delayed surgery on patients in Alberta:
Using an interpretative descriptive approach, authors aim to understand the patient perspective of having a surgery delayed during the #COVID19 pandemic response ➡️ https://t.co/siWuHIa3S1

Have you recently had surgery in Alberta?
We want to hear about your experience.

We are looking for patients to participate in brief interviews to understand how we can improve surgical care. 👇👇

What was the impact of delaying non-urgent surgeries during COVID-19 on patients? "It affects every aspect of your life"
...I suspect findings still relevant as #healthcare systems struggle to meet demands for surgical care.

Parents are taking their kids to hospitals because they can't breathe not because they don't have tylenol.

[Jason Copping @JasonCoppingAB]

Today, Premier @ABDanielleSmith and I announced that the province has secured 5 million bottles of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen for Alberta families.

This will help ease the worries of parents and help with the pressures on our children's hospitals.

Do you or your loved one have #CoronaryArteryDisease?
How did you and your doctor decide how to treat your CAD? Medical, surgical, #PCI #CABG?
Do you think an electronic tool could have helped with the decision-making process?
We want to hear from you 👇

[Jon Meddings @JMeddings]

The court said (reasonably) that an expert should decide public health interventions. Not a twitter expert and not a politician. We may need masking again in the future. Having a politician (non expert) preemptively preclude that shows how far we have sunk.
