Was honoured to spend the afternoon with some of the 25 paramedics that received the King Charles III Coronation Medal through the @OntParamedic. Honoured to be included among the recipients & appreciative of all those involved.

@MikeVerkest Did this accidentally to one of my best students ever (was told he'd been precepting for a while but it was day 1). He was fantastic but so stressed and never said anything. I still feel terrible. Glad it didn't break him and we're still friends

Over 80% of trauma patients transported by @Ornge from a non-trauma hospital to a trauma centre met trauma bypass criteria. This caused over 5 hours of delay to care for these patients.
We can do better.

Proud to announce the publication of CAPITAL DOREMI in @NEJM - a comparison of milrinone and dobutamine in cardiogenic shock. Contrary to the hypothesis milrinone was not superior to dobutamine in this randomized double blind comparison. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
