#BREAKING: Ontario will mandate the #COVID19 vaccine for health workers in hospitals, long-term-care homes, and in home-care. This is a move that will reduce suffering & save lives 🙏🏽.

.@uOttawa announces that vaccination will be mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and anyone returning to or visiting campus as of September 7th, 2021. fal.cn/3hlMo #COVID19On #Covidvaccine

@KariSampsel @cmclymer I was furious!

"It says a lot of smart things, but it’s more in the vein of emotional intelligence. It's about unapologetic earnestness and optimism. It's about believing in others and caring about them and being vulnerable. It's about finding joy in messiness and pain." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-miracle-…

Ontario #COVID19 Recent Cases & Outcomes by Vaccination Status (June 12/21-July 10/21, age 12+) 95.7% of cases, 97.4% of hospitalizations, 99.5% of ICU admissions, & 95.8% of deaths occurred in unvaccinated or partially vax'd individuals. #VaccinesWork Details/sources below🧵⬇️

@justinjag @wlam_ You’ll both be great! Lots of friendly faces around and remember there are no stupid questions.

@wlam_ Same here! We got this 💪🏼

First #ED shift tomorrow as an attending…AHHHHH!! Any last minute words of wisdom from #MedTwitter? #MedEd

@rajivthava So niche

@rajivthava @ParxEM Why do you think he went out and bought us bronch’s?

No one talks about how anxiety-provoking it is to put a straw into a bubble tea lid

@garrick_mok @rajivthava I’m more concerned that he’s not spelling anything out with SPOON

@rajivthava @llacroix4 I'm both impressed and concerned that a memory aid was required

@hrosenberg33 @emergmedottawa @drjfrank @EMO_Daddy @DDxDino @therealdraa_ron blowing minds 🤯

@emergmedottawa @drjfrank @EMO_Daddy @DDxDino Game changer for me. I used to really dislike picking up charts of CHS patients. Now, Haldol 2mg IV x 2 prn, in an hour or two they are happy and ready to go. 🤮 🤢➡️ Haldol ➡️😀

EMOttawa JC: Intravenous Haloperidol Versus Ondansetron for Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (HaVOC): RCT emottawablog.com/2021/03/intrav… Bottom Line: In patients with suspected CHS, lower dose haloperidol (0.05 mg/kg) can be considered as first line supportive therapy in the ED.

@KariSampsel @GoodishIntent Seconded 😉
