Like many doctors, I was once condescending to obese patients. I regret it. My own experience initially led me to believe that weight loss was just a matter of commitment and a modicum of self-control, by Dr. Prescott Lee wapo.st/3U8K4NJ via Washington Post Opinions Obesity Matters

Thank you to ⁦CMAJ⁩ for publishing my essay on how it feels to be one of the few physicians still trying not to get Covid and trying to educate my patients about why they too should try not to get Covid. #saltingthevibes cmaj.ca/content/196/35…

Thank you to Canada's CPHO for promoting detailed information about transmission of infectious particles through the air, the benefits of wearing high quality respirators, and the importance of ventilation. #COVIDisAirborne #CleanAir #MaskUp

Thrilled to see Jane Philpott prepared and hopefully empowered to take on this and many other challenges to the imperative to provide #primarycare for all.

Thank you for publishing my essay on the cognitive dissonance and the discomfort when you’re still masking and most of your colleagues are “vaxing and relaxing”.

Yes, could we please get some detailed guidance for primary care from an infectious disease specialist who does not minimize the role of Covid and does not blame immunity debt? And can we get some swabs to test? Previous answer from public health was a loud no.

Kashif Pirzada, MD DreamerDee Peds resp admissions were largely BELOW prepandemic historical rates ‘til mid Mar 2022 when mask mandates ended (⬇️ in pic). Since then, peds rates have largely been above prepandemic rates. The 2y rolling avg (since Aug 20/24) offers false assurances. The kids are not alright.

Can someone please explain what just happened in the US, and what I can do to prevent a similar thing from happening in Canada? I genuinely do not understand.

Sabra Gibbens MD (@sabragibbens) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I got it. 75% of ppl felt like US was not “on the right track” and for 2 yrs Biden’s approval was ~40%. With “that headwind … it would be a miracle” for the incumbent to win (Chris Wallace CNN). And most ppl don’t understand economics but do feel rising cost of food, gas, rent.

As much as I have enjoyed connecting with so many interesting and supportive people here, I am planning an exit , or at least a dramatic reduction. Anyone who wants to find me where the grass is greener and skies are bluer, please do.
