Unhoused people living in tents.

People with mental health conditions unable to access support and care.

Adults and children living in poverty, unable to eat even with food banks.

Christians: A RAINBOW CROSSWALK??? This is disgusting! We must fight the devil for Jesus!!!

A lot of people are dragging this person. The knee jerk reaction of “92% coverage?! That’s amazing! Why are you complaining. Leave the country.” This shows how low the bar has been set for health insurance coverage in the US. Let’s put on our empathy hats for a moment.

My own personal and rather limited view is that I am indeed delivering more bads news more frequently in the ER and it's a shit place to have to do it. Noisy, chaotic, hurried and from a doctor you just met an hour ago. It ain't right.

It’s not the disrespect of buying these for employees, it’s if I wanted to trust the people who believe in mood rings to provide my mental health treatment I could just watch TikToks and agree with a 16 year old telling me I have autism cause I like the texture of shredded cheese

Sweet Mary was one of the best educators in the Portland Public School District. She realized my disability early on and knew it wasn’t dyslexia. Sometimes, after school, she would grab me out of the hall, close the door throw three story elements at me and had me make up a story

Just a reminder that the largest reservoir for whooping cough are the adults whose immunity has waned. Talk to your family doctor (if you have one) for a booster.

If you have never seen an infant choking from paroxysmal coughing and then stop breathing because from pertussis then you’ve probably scrolled past this headline.

For pediatricians & parents it is terrifying. Routine immunizations are the BEST prevention cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Today, I met the people who saved my life.

I’ve been tweeting about my cardiac arrest since I woke up in the ICU and re-downloaded twitter (Lady Glaucomflecken (she/her) deleted it for my own safety and concluded that if I could figure out how to get it back, I was safe to tweet again)

André Picard Matt Gurney TVO Today | The Agenda Dennis Kendel It's not just more money but money they deserve! The headline should say For the love of God, pay the family doctors money they deserve. Also while at it take away stupid clerical requirements from insurances and employers. Make insurers and employers pay the fee.

Government officials need to be individuals who have walked through and felt the burden of their decisions, delays and avoidance

As a family doctor myself, I was so demoralized by her statement. Her words will only force more of us to close up shop. This profession is drowning. Enough with political spin. We need help from the public. Please make her stop. Sylvia Jones

I invite Sylvia Jones and Doug Ford to come and tell that to every patient in the ED that I see without a family physician or every patient I see waiting 6mo for a joint replacement.

It's abundantly clear the recruitment & retention of Ontario MDs is 'not a major concern'.
