@KyleJollymore89 @raghu_venugopal Nice non sequitur post there bud.

@raghu_venugopal Do you feel the same about making it easier for people to use fentanyl ?

Every ER shift I attend I wish the province of Ontario would not promote drinking alcohol by making it easier and easier to purchase. So many lives destroyed.

@NwaJesus2021 @AP @grok AI is as biased as the algorithms that it was trained on. Be wary.

@greg_ramp @AP @grok AI is trusted. Because it will scrap different news outlets and give us the confirmation

A military cargo plane with 121 people, most of them soldiers, crashed shortly after taking off, killing at least 66, the head of Colombia’s armed forces says. apnews.com/article/colomb…

@NwaJesus2021 @AP @grok In AI we trust

@AP @grok How true is this news?

@alandrummond2 Congratulations!!

Well, well. Guess what ended up in my e-mail inbox? Guess there's no changing my mind now!

Disturbing reports of corporate pressures on pharmacists for profit: cbc.ca/amp/1.7126811 When diagnosis (dx) leads to Rx which leads to profit for corporation, unlikely for pharmacist to be allowed to dx viral illness and no Rx sold. Dx and Rx sale shouldn't be in same hands

@metromorning @davidcommon I would have loved it if you had asked about plans for healthcare infrastructure given the large planned development in Downsview park. If 60,000+ homes are going to be developed, I sincerely hope there is Healthcare that comes along with it.

@HumanFact0rz @mattgallowaycbc Never say the "q-word"... You just cursed whomever is on shift tonight!

An awfully busy Monday night in the St. Mike’s ED. I blame @mattgallowaycbc for saying “quiet” on air earlier today.

@EM_Update @arunsayal1 - thanks for the inspiration to allow me to mentally reframe the way I think about my job. I needed that.

@RitikaGoelTO @SarooSharda_MD I'm sure this has been said, but I think objection was made by using "rather than" instead of "in addition to" (or similar). I don't oppose any initiative to emphasize social justice, anti-oppression or anti-racism, but to decenter medical expertise seems counterintuitive to me.

Medicine is at a crossroads. Please read our piece on the pushback to challenging power when trying to centre equity in CanMeds and more. If we want to actually move towards anti-oppressive healthcare, we need action. journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/cmej… #meded #MedTwitter cc @SarooSharda_MD

@petrosoniak The fact that healthcare still relies on faxing in 2024 is bewildering to me, and representative of the lack of systemic innovation (and funding) our healthcare system faces.

AI to cutdown on paperwork for family physicians? But still no centralized referral system for specialists? Correct And we still fax everything? Correct And we repeat 1000s of tests because they’re not available across all clinics/hospitals? Yup 🤦‍♂️ cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@davidcarr333 That is to say I would criticize a "slow doc" only if they weren't effectively managing acuity in their dept/area just as much as I'd criticize the fast doc who's cherry-picking or cutting corners. My point is that situational awareness is key here.

@davidcarr333 Not sure I agree entirely. Dept awareness doesn't necessarily rely on speed, but definitely plays into efficiency. Checking in with your charge RN and/or area lead RNs to know who's in your department and who's sick vs. who can wait is just as important as bulldozing thru volume

We often criticize ED physicians who go too fast. We worry about the harm they may cause to their patients. The unpopular take is to criticize those who go way too slow. We often fail to worry about the patients they don’t see. The waiting TBS. I worry a lot about them.

How does this make sense in a single payer system? Hospitals are worsening their financial situations by having to take out loans yet have little to no recourse in making up this ground in a not for profit environment. 🤦‍♂️ I don’t understand this. Patients lose in this scenario.

Ozempic hyperemesis syndrome is starting to rival cannabinoid. Ozempic seems to have a major supply issue in 🇨🇦 & many who actually need it are scrambling & unable to find it. Not sure how this will play out in the coming years. Ask your vommitting pts do u use pot or Ozempic?

So... Our emergency dept had >90 patients admitted, waiting for hospital beds, 40 of which were housed in a care area with 30 official beds and countless other hallway beds. Barely room to see patients. Then, by the evening >60 patients were waiting to be seen. And so you wait.

It’s horrible to be a patient in an Ontario ED right now. We are sorry. We feel your pain.

@CTVComedy She's been hosting The Daily Show - any reason why it's been dropped from CTV Comedy's lineup? I LOVE that show.
