4/n
It would be nice if there was a way for these patients to be “traded” — assuming the patient wanted to do so — so that they could actually get care in the area that they now live in. A “trade network”.

[Liam Portt @ttropmail]

1/n
Family medicine in Ontario needs a patient roster “trade network”. Hear me out.
If I have a patient who is rostered to me, but then moves across the province, it can be difficult to help manage their care.

3/n
I’m sure this scenario is going on all across the province. I probably have plenty of patients that live 2+ hours away. And I’m sure there are doctors in those cities that may have patients that have moved to where I practice.

In 2019, I was a CVICU patient in cardiogenic shock due to fam cardiomyopathy. Had to get a heart transplant!

This week, I’m a doctor in a CVICU. Got my Crit Care Medicine #fellowship diploma, & have a few shifts left. 🥹

Huge thank you to my #organdonor for this. #donatelife

@Caulimovirus When I first started dialysis, my little sister was in high school and did a presentation on kidney disease and dialysis for her biology class. She told the class that I had a little motor put into my wrist to pump the blood through the machine — A+

15 years ago today, I received a kidney transplant. Thank you to the incredible person who selflessly decided to be an organ donor and give the gift of life.

Please take a moment to talk to your loved ones and let them know that you too would like to #BeADonor

@CanadianKayMD @McMasterFamMed I guess it's only for CMG's, and not required for IMG's. This is probably why I didn't see in the program descriptions.

@CanadianKayMD @McMasterFamMed I didn’t see anything about this assessment in the program descriptions on CaRMS, so thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Looks like it’s a more Canadian FM specific assessment vs. casper.

45% of people in Kingston responded that "We don't have enough doctors" is the most accurate statement that represents the way health care is delivered in their community.

I suspect this would also hold true for many residents in South East ON as well…
