Each octopus arm is so packed with neurons it can make decisions independently from the central brain, and sometimes steal food from other arms.

I keep thinking how in the ER when someone rolls in gasping "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" we all jump to our feet and run to assess and help them. It's #1 and 2 of our "ABC's" - Airway, Breathing, Circulation - that comes before any other concern.

Residents (and staff doctors) are excluded from labour rights in Ontario. And with CaRMS have no means of negotiating our working terms. This Resident Awareness Week, consider signing this petition to abolish 26 hour call in Ontario. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #MedTwitter #onpoli
