God, peak Alberta - I love it. T-24 hrs!

Breaking News - CAEP Important statement of principles in establishing and communicating to the public standards for ED staffing from ⁦CAEP⁩ BOTTOM LINE? To call it an “ED” you must have a physician on site or nearby on call. caep.ca/breaking-news/

Shout out to 102.7 THE PEAK Perfect high school throwback (and pre shift pick me up!) with Jimmy Eat World, haven’t heard them in yrs ❤️ you guys, so happy you made it back on air!

After the release of our virtual care statement we met with 3 provincial governments and a representative from the @markhollandlib 's office to discuss how CAEP can assist in thoughtful and successful planning. We look forward to meeting with Manitoba in September!

Another WIM session in the books! ✅ Last Friday, our fellows Dr. Dr. Jemy Joseph and Dr. Meghan Bhatia aced their mock interviews with Katherine Ward, Digital Video Journalist at Global News, proving there is no such thing as a tough interview when you're prepared! One session left!

So sad to see this happen to what was at one time arguably the best provincial healthcare system in the country #AHS

Physicians and HCWs across Canada should be paying attn to the moves being made in AB. Never assume it can’t or won’t happen in our jurisdictions, as evidence based decisions get pushed aside in public outcry over our bruised and battered #cdnhealth system

Some shifts I feel like an air traffic controller in a Monty Python skit. The planes arrive unannounced and out of fuel, the pilots are drunk and screaming at each other, none of the terminals are open for business, and the runways are all occupied by boarded inpatients...

It doesn’t always work, but when it does #TTC is pretty great Beaches to Bathurst and Dundas in little over 30 min, vs 25 min drive! TTC Customer Service #takethettc #publicinfrastructure #urbanplanning

Unfortunately still all too true

Lol other specialties…. Be nice to us… because this is our every day 😂

This is beyond ridiculous, and just plain wrong. Sometimes a GP can do everything right and the pt STILL needs admission… Or, sometimes they pick up on something and by sending that pt to the ED, save their lives Not #evidencebasedpolicy at all. #ONHealth

Thanks The Globe and Mail for the quote today. A reminder that this silly obsession with diverting a relatively small number of minor cases will no nothing to solve the challenges of Canada's crisis of ED overcrowding. CAEP alan drummond

So much respect for the aorta Sneaky bas****

glad to write an article for the The Globe and Mail about hospital crowding/wait times and how the public can show up for ERs instead of in them. one day, we won't need the rooms, and the medicine will come to us. until then, here are some things you can do: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Absolutely devastating to hear about the violence our Halifax colleagues experienced. This type of violence should be a ‘never-event’ - we need, and deserve, better.

I don’t normally post about politics… but I think it’s a bit rich for Trump to blame us for the fentanyl epidemic, when the blame can be laid solely at the feet of the 100% American drug company that developed Oxycontin, which has now been sued into bankruptcy #buycanada

Current moral dilemma: continue boycotting Amazon or watch my team #canucks #mustwin

Kicking off the quality improvement and patient safety content at International Conference on Emergency Medicine with a pre-conference course on the fundamentals of QI! CAEP
