For as long as harm reduction policy is at the whim of politicians, our vote is not just about left vs right. It is also about life and death. #abpoli #ableg #harmreduction

Statement from the AMA Section of Pediatrics regarding government proposal to restrict medical treatments available to pediatric patients who identify as trans gender

[Alberta Medical Association (AMA) @Albertadoctors]

91% of family and rural doctors worry about the finances of their small-business clinics. 20% think they cannot survive six months under current conditions. 61% say they are considering leaving the Alberta health care system through early retirement or relocation. 4/5

I would encourage you to read up a bit on the direction that medicine is heading and to familiarize yourself with the idea of patient centred care. The “actual professionals” are big fans of informed choice & patient involvement in care… #MedTwitter

@CriminelleLaw While I am definitely confused by your desire to openly mock patient autonomy, I find it even more perplexing that you are promoting blind faith an obstetrical system that is known for having the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world…

As emergency doctors we are witnesses to the system- wide healthcare crisis in AB. This letter (signed by over >180 Calgary ED docs) adds our voice to the untenable state of healthcare. Albertans deserve quality, compassionate, and timely emergency care: https://t.co/Z4eCQVLB4B

Ask yourself if your chosen party is presenting ethical, evidence-based & cost-effective solutions to significant problems. A party that supports abstinence based recovery and defunds harm reduction initiatives does not meet this criteria. #abpoli #harmreduction #yeg #yyc #ableg
