@UCalgary_IT your website is down again and has been since at least 3am. Just in time for camp registration

What bites need closure? Antibiotics? Referral to a specialist? When should we really be thinking about rabies? For all your bedside considerations, Dr. @haileytnewton has a great algorithmic approach in BITE CLUB: emottawablog.com/2023/04/bite-c…

#UCalgaryMed was delighted to host medical residents from @MbararaUST (MUST) who completed an emergency medicine elective in Calgary! “It’s always been a dream to have MUST residents come here,” - Dr. Eddy Lang, MD. Read the full story: bit.ly/3MO3WlC @ucalgarypgme

Privatizing a previously well-functioning publicly funded Alberta Precision Labs by Dynalife was supposed to save #AB 18M according to #UCP. Instead, it was an unmitigated disaster & now, we the taxpayers, have to buy it back. How much $$ wasted? @GoAHealth #abpoli #ableg

So well deserved! Can’t wait to see what this next chapter holds.

Awesome application of health design methods to emergency medicine! Bringing design concepts to EDs in Canada @gillianharvey @Roops22 @VaillancourtSam @EddyLang1 @simplerob

ER #MDs from #YEG #Lethbridge & #RedDeer [Want] “to tell people how bad it is in the face of the political ads that tell everyone that the system has been fixed, which we find very frustrating since we're inside the system." #abpoli #abhealth cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

190 Calgary doctors warn emergency rooms 'collapsing' in open letter ⁦@CBCNews⁩ cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Open letter to #AB from 180 ER doctors in #YYC “Our emergency departments are collapsing & frontline #healthcare workers have truly had enough. We cannot bear to watch our patients suffer any longer with no end in sight.” #abpoli #abhealth #abelxn23 docs.google.com/document/d/1DZ…

Nearly 200 Calgary doctors have signed an open letter, saying emergency rooms are in crisis and calling for action. The physicians warn the system is "collapsing," and their ability to provide timely/effective care is jeopardized Story👇 cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… #abhealth

Please, everyone, read this. And please digest what it says and why everyone's vote matters. It matters a lot right now. Couple of comments about this. /1

This is written by virtually the entire Emergency Department of Alberta's largest city. It is reasoned, thoughtful and most of all - absolutely correct. /2

Continuing down the road we've worn ruts in over the last 4 years is not a recipe for success. "Just wait - we're about to fix it" is not believable. I think Albertans deserve better - and it is our choice whether to make this happen. I hope you all vote. /end

“It is our sincere hope that whomever forms the next government will begin the process of repair, starting w/ the restoration of what was once a respectful relationship w/ frontline healthcare workers.” @albertaNDP @Alberta_UCP @globalnews @globeandmail globalnews.ca/news/9718967/c…
