Dr. Iris Grofinkel knocks it out of the park with pragmatic solutions for improving the wait in Ontario healthcare. The core of the problem is "every dollar Ontario shifts to private medicine is a dollar not spent on public health-care". @DrGorfinkel

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

No Canadian ER docs say the system is perfect. ER is the underbelly. ER docs understand the brutal reality many face. But "broken" delegitimizes the millions attending ER annually with a reasonable experience and the many with excellent care. @CAEP_Docs

[Kate Dupuis @DrKateTO]

My College has had to close dozens of programs and lay off so many valued, wonderful, staff.

@fordnation simply refuses to support our post-secondary educational institutions properly. It's absolutely ridiculous how this man is destroying our province. #ForWhichPeople? #onpoli

We really do care, it's why we're there. ❤️‍🩹🥹

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Most patients don't realize their doctors and nurses think about them in the spaces between visits. While walking to the parking lot, driving home, brushing teeth… even before falling asleep. Our work is a part of us, and we really care about you. That's all.
