@dockevinmcleod Born and raised in BC. Took 31 years (and many missed/ignored medical problems over lifetime) to get a family doctor. Now I have an excellent one, but... wow.

Can’t access a doctor? Waiting 10 hours in ER? On a many month waiting list for a specialist? It’s a solvable problem. 1. Expand medical school positions by 10% per year for the next 5 years. 2. Expand residency positions by 15% per year for the next 5 years. The extra 5% will create more spaces for Canadians who have gone to some of the top medical schools around the world who want to come home to work here. 3. Simplify the licensing process. It should not take years to assess a physician especially when they have worked and trained in comparable systems like Australia, the UK, and Ireland. 4. Allow physician assistants immediately. Not in a couple years. Today. 5. Support team based care. Not bureaucratic complex teams. Let the physician who knows the local community hire a team.

@SammmyStern So true! Such a great show. Glad it got so much attention/awards in later seasons but still so underrated for how good it is (and all the performers in it).

We finished Schitt’s Creek last night😭 Easily one of the funniest and best shows I have ever watched

When a former manager suggested I use a flowchart for brainstorming, I laughed in his face. Wasn't that like drafting War and Peace in Excel? But I soon learned the power of visual diagramming. My latest for @Zapier. ow.ly/Hsw550PP05X
