Categorically false. Support is NOT always available when ppl need it.

Every day I see people in the ED who would benefit from outpatient counselling and psychiatric services who simply cannot get access to such help. Wait lists are months-yrs long.

This needs to change.

There is no real ask; more of a tell.
Time to shift this conversation from crowding as an inconvenience to crowding as a granny-killing machine.
There always was a moral imperative to fix crowding but the stakes just got a lot higher.

Rashes are HARD.

Drug induced rashes add an extra layer of complexity.

Dr. Maniuk has written up a really high yield approach with a very useful algorithm (with some help from our derm friends):

Remembering a life that touched so many hearts and left an indelible mark on this day, the anniversary of Dr. Candace Nayman's passing. Our memory is of a warm, energetic & ambitious young doctor (who loved hotdogs!) and was a steadfast advocate of blood donation. 💙

@karenmccrimmon Interested in seeing the data supporting your claim that this clinic will improve healthcare in Ottawa. Who will staff this clinic? Where will the funding come from?

Hi, ER Doc here.

I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. I don’t give a shit about a blue checkmark I care about reaching people. I would love to hit 400K followers to be able to reach more people.

Can I get some RTs and Follows to help me get there?
