There are plenty of days when residency is hard. Today it was rainbows and butterflies @UofTFamilyMed @uoftmedicine

@CanadianKayMD This made my day to read!!

Got a message from my nanny that when she dropped Rhys off at daycare with the new shoes he needed, all his little friends gathered around to admire his new light up Batman runners. I love how exciting stuff like that is to four years olds.

Thrilled to share our research in @LongwoodsNotes on the impact of inpatient visitor restrictions early in the pandemic in Toronto #onpoli

#Patientvisitors serve a more important role in #inpatientcare than simply providing social support, write @vtamster in "Evaluating Toronto Hospitals’ #COVID19 Visitor Policy Using #Accountability for Reasonableness". #caregivers #familypresence ow.ly/OkJN50LAgiB

I’m going to be a Toxicologist 💊🍄 Can’t wait to continue my training in Toronto w/ @ClinPharm_UofT @ON_Poison #CaRMS2022

@CamLeafloor Never had a doubt 🙌🏻

Is there a name for the birthday when you start shopping exclusively for 'comfort shoes'? Because that is most definitely the one I just celebrated

To distract themselves, my patients tell me about things they love while I'm repairing their lacs. Today I heard about grandchildren, significant others, parents, and favorite niche movie genres. An unanticipated pleasure of the job to hear about what brings joy to their lives 😊

Have entered the, "Is Twitter just really good today, or am I extra distracted" phase of studying, 2 days before my final licensing exam. 😅🥲😬. Please send thoughts, prayers, or the ability to osmose knowledge into my brain. 🙏

GTA Twitter peeps. Be on the lookout of a food borne toxic ingestion in the Markham area that appears to have GI, neuro and cardio toxic effects. In some cases requiring critical care and VT arrest. Na channel blocking like. Role for bicarbonate? Role for intralipid.

Learning from so many inspirational, *all female* leaders has been one of the highlights of my year - even while on the hot seat with @l_stone! Many thanks to @lauradesveaux @WomenWhoLead_ @Katieheelis @EntCanada and all others involved for making this opportunity possible

To fix the #nursing shortage, start with a little respect  ottawacitizen.com/opinion/tam-an… via @OttawaCitizen @vtamster #cdnhealth

Conversations with incredible nursing colleagues inspired this piece co-written with RN Meredith Hall. Overdue this pandemic: the respect and remuneration our nurses- the backbone of every ER -deserve. @RNAO @OntarioHealthOH @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation @OttawaCitizen @ctvottawa

Many thanks to @CJEMonline for sharing my reflection on entering staff practice, inspired by my friend, the one and only Bill*. @emergmedottawa rdcu.be/cSacd

As a *very*new staff, I can only hope to hype my learners up this much each shift 🥳

Every woman deserves full ownership over their reproductive health. We can support them by ensuring the full range of family planning and contraceptive options are available equitably, across the country - full stop. @CAEP_Docs @CAEP_WomenInEM @AAWEPSection @emergmedottawa
