@CHDavies1 Having watched it I totally agree!

For Ontario families- a group of Children’s Hospitals is trying to get funding to help clear the backlogs. Register, attend, share- Thanks

A scoping review of the applications of exome sequencing in prenatal diagnosis shows few studies reported clinical outcomes related to impact, decision-making, and clinical utility. Via @GIMJournal nature.com/articles/s4143…

Best line from @CHEO security guard tonight, as he came to lock up the clinic: “Code dinner! Time to go home!” I appreciated the gentle shove out the door.😊

@NightShiftMD My experience:its hard to feel dignified when you are a woman and your gown slips and flashes your underwear at a man in the hallway. Am a health care professional known to care team- was treated with dignity by them - still humiliated by gown.

David Oliver: There’s no dignity in hospital gowns bmj.com/content/368/bm… I agree with the sentiment but one can argue that dignity comes from within not from a gown. Torn about this.

GCs at @CHEOhospital created an online learning module for unaffected women with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. Patients can then opt for a phone appointment, reducing wait times significantly. Watch it here: cheo.on.ca/en/clinics-ser… #Iamageneticounselor
