Silent, blind, and deaf. Hypocrites with double standards. Why don’t they talk about Iran and the thousands killed by the Islamic Republic? If you’re silent about Iran, you were never about human rights.

The news from the CDC is awful to hear. Canada should step up as a global leader in public health. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Reflections on Leaving Family Practice justanoldcountrydoctor.com/2024/08/06/ref…

I realize that part of arbitration is for the payee (in this case @ONThealth ) to "lowball" their position - but the position they have taken with @OntariosDoctors is so low as to be insulting/demeaning and demoralizing. My thoughts below: justanoldcountrydoctor.com/2024/05/06/ont…

"Ontario’s arbitration position is so pathetically inadequate ... that one really has to wonder if they want to have good relationships with their doctors going forward." @drmsgandhi justanoldcountrydoctor.com/2024/05/06/ont…

Ontario couple missed 2 days of their week-long vacation due to a flight delay and cancellation. Here's why they were denied compensation toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-couple…

Roughly 1,000 patients in Mississauga are scrambling to find a new family physician after their doctor decided to shut down her practice, in large part because of "too much administrative work." “I’m physically and mentally exhausted." toronto.citynews.ca/2024/02/14/pap…

Patients hate having to ask for them. Doctors don't like writing them. But some employers across the country still demand employees get a sick note in order to stay at home for one or more days of illness. cbc.ca/radio/whitecoa…

today I fired a patient of 12 years. they have no GP. I have guided them to care for things way, waaaay outside of my specialty. they yelled at me and my sec over frustration with MY care. I know it’s not about me, but about their care in general in “ @ONThealth “ 1/n

The Admin Burden That's Really Killing Family Practice justanoldcountrydoctor.com/2023/04/30/the…

I'm not sure which is the higher contributor to #FamilyDoctorBurnout these days: (A) The administrative/paperwork/charting burden or (B) The utter lack of #PatientAccountability and Self-Management 🤔 #ONhealth #CDNhealth #FamilyMedicine #FamilyDoctor @OntariosDoctors

I’m delighted to share that I’ll be the next President-Elect of @OntariosDoctors, starting May 2023. I feel sincere gratitude to all who supported me along the way. Together, we’ll work toward a strong, sustainable, and equitable health system for all.

This letter needs an apology to every hard working primary care physician and frankly to all healthcare clinicians acknowledging this was a mistake and that this in fact is NOT a solution. END

I woke up this morning and almost spit out my coffee... I was shocked that Nadia Surani, @ONThealth official had the audacity to put these thoughts in a formal request...and was actually serious.. My wife and my dad are both primary care docs. A 🧵 cbc.ca/news/canada/to… 1/
