Every female physician felt this in her core.

Hahaha… but true. Come to #CAEP24 !

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a 'Hollywood elite.'

'Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut…

'A Toronto hospital was just rated as one of the best in the world' -- that's us!

UHN's Toronto General Hospital is now considered the third-best overall hospital and #1 publicly-funded hospital in the world!

Really interesting alternate take on the pharmacare deal.

Worth reading for all those, like me, who thought this was one of the only uncomplicated, capital ‘W’ wins in healthcare recently #evidencebasedpolicy

This is absolutely despicable.

The whole scheme is engineered to take advantage of pts.

Informed consent does not = just doing whatever the doctor suggests.

‘The Tapeworm Economy’ - A chilling warning about a very slippery slope.

As much as our ED wait times are (and should be) in the news, we can’t lose sight of other emerging threats to our system #ONHealth

A phenomenal work of reporting and photojournalism that should break your heart and fill you with rage.

Love this

👇this whole thread. Blunt, to the point, and 100% true.

Good. The negligence and frank ageism on display was horrifying, glad to see the possibility of being held to account.

Pretty powerful patient condemnation of #ONHealth

Be assured, healthcare workers absolutely share your frustration when we can’t provide the level of care we want, and our patients deserve…

The latest from a physician who has my utmost respect… Difficult but required reading (and viewing) from Dr Rachel Clarke

Finally someone who speaks sense!

The #ER crisis will not be solved by more half-baked attempts to increase primary care capacity with non MDs, or private surgical facilities.

We need staffed beds in hospital.

Period.

Just more evidence that we have normalized what was previously unthinkable as standard of care

Going into a shift tmrw, wondering how many more #waitingroom catastrophes our team will have to somehow prevent through superhuman effort and sheer luck.

When will Canada start to take life threatening ER delays seriously?

>60min offload delay; >35h for inpt bed
Atrocious to leave the elderly in hallways

UK NHS: declare critical incident!
Canada: just another day…
