@MatthaeusWare @SickKidsNews Agree. Playing Devils advocate though - one of biggest motivating factors for all SES to be successful in life is to create more and better opportunities for their children. That said, agree systems need to be better.

@DrSadiqAbdulla @Agent99rp I never do it for labor-not reliable - and if one did - are they putting leads on and looking for ST/ T wave changes?

@drlauraduggan Sorry for your loss Laura. A photo filled with love. Best wishes to you and your family ! 🥰

Not on Twitter much last 6-weeks Our Dad, post-TAVI multiple COVID & non-COVID complications, died yesterday Wonderful family visit Sunday while he was lucid, giving advice, his dry sense of humour & were there as he lost consciousness overnight My Dad's advice: Live Everyday

Perioperative anesthesiologist care to comment? @MacdonellSu @drlauraduggan @ShannonLockhart

Reviewing medical staff rules at our site. Line of interest “a surgeon will be the most responsible practitioner for Peri-operative management of the patient…” Context: out of or post procedural pt dumped in pacu at night - no handover or communication w anesthesiologist

@LondonAllergy @SamGoodhand Nap6 was great…except it would always confuse North Americans on exam since we don’t have Teic here (Canada) and so the classic q ranking risk of anaphylaxis in was always nmb>abx since we primarily use ancef (which can be given to pen aller despite being a cephalosporin)
