A bit shocking when our governments own report states Albertans want: 1. Investment in the h/c workforce 2. Implement a centralized h/c system In fact I would say this is sort of damning... They are doing the opposite. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

TLDR: "tah-day here's a shiny new org, and brand new CEO for primary care, we spent a year on creating the framework, but have no specifics or details on how it will improve workforce issues or actual Access, don't even have the operational budget figured out" AB deserves better

Scenario: patient without a family doctor gets a scan in ER that suggest cancer. ER doctor refers for biopsy and more scans and refers to oncology. Biopsy and scans done and patient waits for appointment. No answers, no explanation. Why? 1/

This. In spades. The CPSA is established "To protect the public". From incompetent physicians. It often takes a good physician to recognize a bad one. This might be in something the MD does or what the MD says. If we change this AB will be home to "Quacks Unlimited".

Pediatrician here. If a nice, older kid/teenager comes trick or treating at your place, give them a piece of candy WITHOUT giving them a hard time. In fact, give them 2. They chose this over other risky activities. Validate that. #Halloween

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Edmonton *has increased by nearly 2,000 in the past year* up to 4,697 in September. Clearly the Alberta government's approach to homelessness is not working. #yeg #ableg

The utter hypocrisy of this is astounding. "Medical decisions are personal, between the person/guardian and their physician"... well, except in those cases where government needs to be in the exam room. Our premier needs to stop pretending to be a doctor...

Emergency Medicine will shine a little less bright without Dr. McEwen, but her legacy will live on in those she mentored, the patients she cared for and in the hearts of CAEP members.

Being homeless is a mentally and physically punishing condition that's caused by policies. Homelessness is a POLICY failure, not a people failure. Read this 🧵#HousingFirst
