We were so pleased to welcome Minister @markhollandlib and MP @Taleeb to our hospital yesterday! They had a first-hand look at the quality specialist care and cutting-edge research happening right here on our campus in Vancouver. @BCCHresearch @WomensResearch

Great to meet with @markhollandlib and the BC Children's Hospital team - leading cutting end medical research for children. With investments over $9.1M from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, they’re making groundbreaking discoveries.

I've been thinking about compassion and pediatricians. There's an idea that pediatricians are "softer" than internal medicine docs because we take care of kids. And kids are cute! Funny! Sticky! 1/

listened to @Canadaland this morning & @jessebrown claimed that "no one has ever been inspired by Vancouver to write a great novel" so now I feel obligated to do a thread about great Vancouver novels:

Excellence in Canadian healthcare is resident physicians (still completing their specialization) handling with poise a heavy volume of consultation requests at academic centres with some of the nation's most complex medical and surgical patients. Thank you. @ResidentDoctors

"To be forewarned is to be forearmed." This is your warning. XBB1.5 is coming ⬆️ transmission ⬆️ immune evasion ⬆️ ACE2 affinity Most infections are now re-infections Re-infections ⬆️ hospitalization, severity, Long Covid, death Don't panic. #MaskUp #WearARespirator

No one is recommending panic in response to XBB.1.5. People are though recommending doing more than simply sitting back and watching a far more infectious variant sweep through an already crushed healthcare system. Those suggesting otherwise? They've been wrong for 3 years now.

Never doubt what small can do. The kids we help may be small, but they face huge challenges. You might think your impact is small, but your support could be just what we need to push the next medical advancement over the finish line. #SmallisMighty

So much Influenza A out there (a member of the airborne virus club), sending sick kids of all ages to emergency rooms and inpatient wards, and very sick children to our pediatric ICUs here and elsewhere. Please:*everyone* 6mo and older should get a flu shot. Mask up! @SickKidsCCM
