The nephrology fellowship interview

Hanging out with the nephrologist

Please take a moment to watch this important message created by our colleagues on the frontlines. #COVID19

We will get through this together. Even if we are far apart. #StayHomeAlberta #COVID19AB

Stay home. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. Everyone who does this saves lives

Please don’t get complacent this weekend. I know it will be hard, as this is really starting to settle in for many. Stay home. Slow down. Tidy up. Call an old friend, as they are hopefully home as well. Please behave as if you have the virus. So, be kind.

Sorry kids. This may be coming your way too.

If current trends continue, within 2 weeks we will have 12,000 cases of #COVID19 in Canada and 3700 cases in Alberta. With 10% needing ICU care, that is well above the 300 ICU beds we currently have in the province. This is not a joke. Stay home. The window to contain is closing

The most effective way for Albertans to #FlattenTheCurve is by taking a comprehensive, society-wide approach. Not testing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not social distancing alone. All of them, together. Visit alberta.ca/COVID19 for essential info. #COVID19AB

@AHS_media Hey @AHS_media - how about adding the COVID 19 assessment tool the the AHS app?

AHS has developed a simple online assessment tool to help you decide whether you need to call 811 to be tested for COVID-19. It'll guide you to answer questions about your symptoms & take you through steps to help determine whether you need testing. ahs.ca/covid

Also useful for pediatric nephrologists...

Hoping that “because COVID” is the final winning argument that convinces my kids to use soap when they wash their hands (but not counting on it). ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻#WashYourHands #FlattenTheCurve

Wow.

Question for nephrologists that add “avoid unnecessary nephrotoxins” to their AKI notes, do you also tell consultant not to jam that pen in their eye and not to mix bleach and ammonia cleaner?

Wow! This is a great video! twitter.com/american_heart…
