I’m running for the health of every kid in Canada, and my goal is to raise $500. The Million Reasons Run is a fundraising event in support of our local children’s hospital foundations. Will you support me with a donation today? millionreasons.run/s/9449/18164/t

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday. Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care. RT if you agree

As more Manitoban youth are getting vaccinated, there are still questions over if & when younger children can get their shot. This week, Dr. Terry Klassen spoke with @globalwinnipeg to discuss the importance of vaccinations for children under 12 | globalnews.ca/video/7991190/…

This #CanadaDay, so many are grieving unthinkable loss & experiencing ongoing trauma. Let's take some time to reflect on the full history of Canada and on how we can – as individuals, health care providers, and communities – work together toward a brighter, more equitable future.

Study a drug in thousands of people to prove beyond a doubt that it works. Give that same drug to millions of people and rare side effects will come to light. Every time, guaranteed. While the rare stuff is making news, remember one thing: The drug works.

Déjà vu 3rd article I’ve seen in last week concluding that more ‘care’ doesn’t improve outcomes in #Pediatrics . Gastro, lab tests in general and now orbital cellulitis. #ChoosingWisely nice work @peterjgill @Sanj_Mahant now let’s translate into less low valu care @SickKidsNews
AAP Journals@AAPJournals

Authors of this study compared the management and outcomes of children hospitalized with periorbital and orbital cellulitis in 2 eras: bit.ly/2QL4aAb #HospitalPediatrics #WeArePHM

@Dj0ulai It's interesting how kids reflect on these things,and it makes me wonder what I communicate at home. I love my work, and my colleagues, but don't talk enough about the accomplishments of my teams and myself.

My 12-yo in her parent teacher conference: "Dad is doing too much doctory stuff, taking care of kids, and being peeved at colleagues.. No real time for us." I thought no travel made things better, but maybe not! #burnout
