@AOgieglo It will be interesting to see where investigation leads. So many unanswered questions - Who ended up owning the patient samples and data from the “clinical trial” partnership with PDI lab and SK Cancer Agency? cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

Glad to see the government is moving to close this regulatory gap. cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

@PremierScottMoe SK patients can access more timely scans in Alberta.

More diagnostic capacity means patients can get answers sooner and start care earlier. Our goal is clear: by 2028, 90% of scans will be completed within 60 days. By upgrading imaging technology and expanding capacity, we’re ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time, putting patients first.

@DrBrianDay Same pattern across the country regardless of political party in power, different hospitals, doctors, nurses, and patients. The same legislative and bureaucratic Goliath overshadows them all - Medicare

When will our governments wake up to this crisis?

Hopefully this provides more opportunities for patients to access care.

Six simple questions on Canadian healthcare that politicians should be required to answer:

SK patients need options outside Medicare. We need access to direct primary care @PremierScottMoe @ABDanielleSmith

@DrBrianDay @CMA_Docs @MedicalPost Too bad there wasn’t another medical association that could represent opted out physicians.

Our ⁦@CMA_Docs⁩ should reflect on the graphic quoted in the ⁦@MedicalPost. So sad that they are defending mediocrity. They need to be reminded of Mark Twain’s famous quote: “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please”

@AOgieglo We need direct primary care in SK.

On Friday, Scott Moe appeared on the Evan Bray show. "In Canada we are having challenges, for example, accessing a primary care provider. We are going to ensure that we can do that in Saskatchewan" I am looking forward to hearing details on how this will be achieved.

@GadSaad @PsychToday You’re not allowed to have expectations for care, you’re not allowed to ask questions - Medicare has created a dehumanized system devoid of compassionate care

Terrible tragedy. I warned you back in 2012 in an article that I had published at @PsychToday. I return to this issue briefly in my forthcoming book Suicidal Empathy. psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/homo-c…

@elonmusk In Canada, universal coverage means nothing when you don’t have access to medical care and no alternatives outside failing government program.

When the government does medical care, it is about as good as the DMV

Sad but true

Below is the intro to my book. Canadian patients are denied the timely care they’re promised and are forced to die waiting. Laws forbid citizens to independently care for themselves or their loved ones.The world is unaware of our state enforced death penalty for sick patients.

Thank you to @MICimaging in Edmonton, Alberta. Your excellent imaging & report enabled us to access timely out-of-country cancer diagnosis & treatment for our teenage daughter. You were right, it was cancer!

@DrBrianDay They’ve just lengthened the chains a little

It is simply ignorant to assume that private options would favour wealthy Canadians. The wealthy don’t suffer in any society. Canadian government data show our low income groups suffer the worst access and outcomes. Competition will improve the public system for them - experience worldwide proves that.
