Past and current Fellows! Island Health and CPSBC are so committed to allowing for education and make me a better physician who can see more patients.

The magic of cryoneurolysis is it treats motor and sensory. Pain away, and muscles relax. Allowing me to manipulate the joints immediately to alow the macerated pain skin to heal.

Functional symptoms are the 2nd most common reason to see a neurologist after headache. #FND is not adiagnosis of exclusion. It is not malingering. It is not gaslighting. It can be lifesaving to diagnose.

Measles was eliminated in Canada in 1998. Now, thanks to vaccine disinformation, we are seeing the highest rates in decades. 12 Albertans are now in ICU with complications of measles. This is a preventable tragedy. Vaccines work. Please get vaccinated. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Albertans fight on. I am constantly flabbergasted at the superior quality of patient centred care compared to non-existent BC, where we have no teams, no funded research, no specialty clinics that my Alberta colleagues have. No nurses. Dr. Fiona Mattatall 🪩🇨🇦

This paradise, the Cowichan valley, It is famous for the sea, vineyards, hiking, cycling. A new hospital is opening. I would love to see a physiatrist here . Island Health will welcome you.

Physiotherapists and physiatrists that I know live here. Island living. We need more of both. Saanich Penninsula

People and many doctors ask me if PMR is a new specialty. Our 73rd annual meeting in Canada. From bringing fathers, mothers and kids back home from war injuries, to kids home from Polio. On Father's Day, I think of all the families healed from Rehabilitation in 73 years.

Have you been checking in on your Iranian friends, colleagues, students? I’m happy that everyone tells me their family is safe and OK .

Happy Father’s Day. Victoria BC

The best thing I ever did was a 2.5 week early Father’s Day call to my residency rotation supervisor and say “see you in six months. It’s a boy.” To his joy.

Yes, I am that person who frets about why patients must wait for care. In 2017, I asked medical students to assess access for Toxin and Baclofen pumps. The wait in BC was untenable. It is what launched my commitment to better patient outcomes. The wait for baclofen pumps in BC.

Great for my fellows from Switzerland and Australia to see how effective corticosteroids are for restoring function!

When I published on ultrasound, the greatest barrier to uptake is lack of access. Hospitals cannot afford them for clinicians. Most of us do not replace our personal computers that frequently we make them last.

I fully support cutting back on new hardware for hospitals at this time. It is devastating what IT departments get when we can’t get technology supplies for patient care and medical imaging. This is a national and international problem not local.
