@brianglenntv Question for @brianglenntv: Would you have asked Ben Franklin the same question back in the day when he was seeking funding from the French? See @dieworkwear for more:

Benjamin Franklin wearing a coonskin cap while being received by the French court. "Proper" attire at the time would have been a powdered wig, but Franklin enjoyed playing up his "rustic" American identity. On these trips, he asked for military support for newly independent US.

Why don't you wear a suit when you come to the Oval Office with the President?
Do you even own a suit?

I'm medically adjacent (partner is in FM) and I follow a bunch of folks on #MedTwitter
Last year on Match Day I had no clue what was going on but now I know how huge it is. Congrats to all the folks that matched.
And to those that didn't dont be discouraged. 1/2

@tlynettepowell @GovNL While we cannot provide care to same pts, for same condition if they/we are out of province - phone call to our well-known pts, 20-yrs providing continous & in-depth care to an entire family: @GovNL prefers stranger who knows nothing about the same person and will pay them extra.
English
While other provinces make moves to stabilize FM, @GovNL is going to arbitration with its MD's. Has GovNL just decided that a phone call from a doctor anywhere but NL is the best we can do to provide primary care to our citizens? They have lost the plot.

@DrJessTaylor It's pathognomonic of narcissism for sure.

Petition to stop men publicly proposing to women on extremely important occasions such as:
- When she wins a gold medal at the olympics
- Her graduation day
- The day she is elected a politician
- The day she wins an award for something important she did
For the love of god, just LET HER HAVE HER DAY.

@bevie_anne @emellesierra FP can do pretty much everything a Dermatologist, Neurologist or Rheumatologist can - indeed many NL FP function at resident level in *multiple* specialties every day. With 3-4yrs of specialized training in their fields, FP respect these specialists & would never assume equality.
English
@emellesierra The graphic presents an alternative to GPs, not a replacement. An alternative that can do pretty much everything a GP can. Especially when it comes to meeting primary care needs.
English
Back back back again with another 🧵:
I feel sure there were other ways to promote the role of NP without misleading by this equivocation. I support empowering NPs to work to their fullest extent and scopes of practice. 1/13
English
@bevie_anne @emellesierra cfp.ca/content/69/2/e…
Family Physicians (FP) are a recognized speciality in Canada - CFPC. The term GP (though still preferred by some in FM) is not used exclusively by family docs. Using GP to compare NP & FP blurs the different training, quals & experience even further.
English
@bevie_anne @emellesierra ...Nurse practitioner clinical training, in contrast, is largely observational, +students are not rigorously evaluated..." Dr R Feldman Feb 2023. Again, I am very pro working beside RN and NP in primary care, but we have unique non-equivalent roles. 2/2
English
@bevie_anne @emellesierra "The qualitative difference in training for a physician ... involves intensive experiences, depth of responsibility + intervention.... years of direct shoulder-to-shoulder, on-site supervision +oversight by faculty through the clinical years of medical school + residency... 1/2
English
@bevie_anne @emellesierra Except that it cannot. FP spend 12000+ hours of clinical training vs less than 1000 hours in most NP programs; FP also trained to "know what you don't know". I am pro-NP, but firmly against promoting equivalency - even in primary care.
English
@CFPCNL @HCS_GovNL @_nlma @GovNL @FamMemorial @MUNMed It would be great if RHAs could recruit them to stay, but currently dozens of other docs wanting to work/stay here have been waiting weeks/months for return emails from @tomosbornernMHA's “world class recruitment complement”. @MUNFamMed @_nlma
English
Thank you, Hon. Tom Osbourne, for attending our Family Medicine Resident social and speaking to our residents.
Also in attendance with our NLCFP Board was @_nlma President, Dr. Kris Luscombe, the @govnl Office of Recruitment and Retention & @FamMemorial @munmed #NLdocsRock
English
@TerribleLuh @_nlma @CFPCNL Sure. Just delete MCP and we'll all work for Eastern Health (or other RHAs). But once FP are employees, you have to pay us benefits like everyone else, and that will cost Gov a lot more in the long run. Pension, sick leave, vacation, education, medical... it would break the bank.
English
NL Family Docs get nickel & dimed for legit work already done, refused payment & so simply submit bills for *less* than we deserve just to avoid MCP aduit. For a $33 visit. 811 gets $82 call with a stranger. This is a punch in the guts for RETENTION.

@TerribleLuh @_nlma @CFPCNL FFS physicians are not paid for anything except time in the room with pt. (Few exceptions within Family Practice Renewal Program budget).
If not phone, collaborate how? You don't identify yourself in any way - what is your understanding of the usual FP clinic?
English
@docroxc @_nlma @CFPCNL Well phone calls are one means of collaboration and you should be paid fairly for that time. I working together to solve problems (collaboration) is what primary care is missing.
What has NLMA negotiated in this recent contract that encourages working with other disciplines?
