“If the foundation of a building is crumbling, there is no point in building more floors above it.” We MUST invest in Family Medicine Specialists as the foundation of robust primary care. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Should patients whose care is being delayed also start demanding urgent care elsewhere? We've had an amazing h/c system, one that many of us have been proud of. But if this over capacity situation continues for weeks/month then something has to give. /end

This afternoon's presser saw a lot of dodging and spin... Except from @PfParks. Everyone should listen to what he had to say on vaccines. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"If we don't stabilize and salvage it right now, there'll be nothing to restructure" notes President Dr. Parks. Acute care's state can't hold, with waiting rooms over capacity government investment "can no longer be safely ignored". edmonton.ctvnews.ca/provincial-hea…

Pay Family Doctors a reasonable, globally competitive wage to lead and work in multidisciplinary teams, taking care of patients. It’s actually not rocket science.

This is completely unsafe. We need some action by GoA now. Things that we could all do to make sure fewer people end up there - get vaccinated, avoid crowds, wear a mask. These are still valid things to reduce risk of any resp virus.

I thought we were a proud people who contributed rather than took from confederation? Not only can our gov not fix our health system they cannot do simple demographic modelling and forecast enough HCW's for our system. /end

So now we are in the 'funny' position of being the wealthiest province in the country, producing less than the average MD/capita. We are relying on other provinces to support our need for MD's. /7

Today’s reminder that the elected government are responsible for overseeing our health care system. They are letting us all down. Time to hold them to account. #abhealth

AMA members are fully behind our fierce advocacy for primary care and our efforts to save and support family physician and rural generalist clinics. Everyone agrees the system has no future without this foundation.🧵 1/14

I hate the prospect of waiting 10+ hours for emergency care, but I can swallow it. It's the growing queue for sick kids that's really making my heart burst as a new dad whose kid just had a very rough sick weekend. #yeg #yyc #ableg globalnews.ca/news/10160993/…

Shared with permission to highlight how when we use the words "collapse", "disaster", and '"critical overcrowding", we are not exaggerating My colleagues are NOT making light of this suffering They honestly don't know how to get lasting system change They are desperate for help
