Health System Fix. Tip of the Day: If companies mandate their staff waste time to get a sick note, then that company should have to pay for it. I bet a lot would stop the practice if they had to put their money where their mouths are.

If only there was enough money to encourage family doctors to open community practices instead of taking on less stressful and more lucrative work. Oh wait. There is. #yougetwhatyoupayfor

Thank you Adrian Dix Ramneek Dosanjh for listening to family doctors. If this comes to fruition I am very hopeful for the future of primary care in BC. @ResidentDocsBC how do you guys feel about this?

Before any further UPCC are opened shouldnt the MoH and HAs look at why they can't staff the existing ones? More infrastructure is not the answer right now. Money must used in a way that provides for the dire needs of the people of BC. Empty building won't do that. Adrian Dix

After careful consideration I have voted in favour of the new #PMA. Mainly as it provides historical increases in physician valuation, partially catching up for decades of underpay. Thanks BC Family Doctors & Doctors of BC. It is not perfect, but it is better than expected.

I am excited to announce my candidacy for President of BC Family Doctors. My platform will go out to our membership once polls open tomorrow. I am ready to lead and stand up strongly for Family Physicians in our province. Google me and see how my advocacy work stacks up. AMA.

Let me be the first to congratulate Maryam Zeineddin, MD for her successful campaign for President of BC Family Doctors. She has my full support and I will continue to advocate for family physicians in BC.

BC Ministry of Health put out a statement today for Midwives Day, of course important & valuable colleagues in our health care system. 2 days ago was National Physician's Day. Federal government put out a statement of support, BC didn't. Why? Doctors of BC BC NDP Adrian Dix

I am honoured to run for President of BC Family Doctors. I believe we can have the best jobs in the world. It’s amazing what we can accomplish together. If you’re a family doc in BC, vote for me! Feel free to post any questions here or PM me.

Happy #BCFamilyDoctor day! We’ve joined together with BC College of Family Physicians to share a message of unity and hope. Today, and all days, let’s celebrate each other and the critical work of family doctors.

Happy Family Doctor Day. What an honour it is to do what we do.

Thank you to all of those who have given me their vote of trust. I take this responsibility very seriously and hope I can make B.C. a better place for family docs and patients alike.

We are pleased to announce the results of the BC Family Doctors Board of Directors! Congratulations to all of the newly elected and returning family physician leaders, including President Elect Dr Darren Joneson Dr. Darren Joneson, President Elect BCFD

I've just sent a letter to MPs explaining why a carve out, an exemption for doctors is needed. The capital gains tax increase will hurt #AccessToCare & physician recruitment & retension.

IMO re: expanded prescribing of pharma's. Overprescribing of Abx without proper workups. The conflict of interest in making $ from their rx is ignored. Most pharmacists act with skill & integrity. The system rewards those that don't. Likely result = SUPERBUGS!

Huge thank you and shout out to everyone who helped me celebrate 40! Especially my wonderful wife who among many other things also got Brian Baumgartner from my favourite show to do a shout out. (I am wearing my Scott’s Tots shirt as I write this) cameo.com/recipient/6698…

Remember to get out there and vote!

I am very excited to share this preview for a book I have been working on for 7 years. Please feel free to comment or share! m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…
