A disheartening reality but glad that those struggling are being heard. This is why we research- to explore discover and ignite change. Very humbled to have some of our research findings shared and to have the voices of colleagues and friends heard! macleans.ca/longforms/cana…

You never know how much time left you have with someone you love. Be kind, be caring, and stop worrying about things that don’t matter.

I wonder how using words like “non compliant, pain seeking” or other more subtle words like “tearful, refuse” affect patient care by the time a third or fourth provider reads a note.

A voyage into neuroscience of aggression reveals a (surprising to many) fact: The hypothalamic neurons that trigger aggression harbor estrogen not testosterone receptors, and yet, respond best to estrogen derived from testosterone. Hormones often work counter-to-popular ideas.

Well deserved Lindsey Boechler congratulations and thank you for being such an amazing research mentor to me personally ☺️ (Lindsey graciously took me in for my first research project over 2 years ago, a great paramedic leader)!

At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.

I want whatever the opposite of fast fashion is. I want slow fashion. I want to buy 4 pairs of pants and never think about pants again for the rest of my life.

Looking frwd to presenting with Cheryl Cameron (she/her) @cherylcookie.bsky.social, Dr. Aman Hussain & Patrick tomorrow about the need for an ethical decision-making framework in paramedicine! If you've ever felt forced to make pt care decisions that didn't align w/ ur values, this one is for you! #PACE2022

We have heard sad news that a paramedic was killed in the line of duty last night. Please hold their family in your thoughts, including the first responder community. Be gentle with us as we mourn another colleague that has been taken too soon. #YourEMS #Abhealth #abpoli

1/THREAD Why would adenosine, a purine nucleoside, be able to treat supraventricular tachycardias (SVT)? And why are its effects so short lived (e.g. <2 seconds)? The answers will change the way you think about this drug. #tweetorial #medtwitter

6/ Signaling via A1 adenosine receptors in cardiac tissue leads to ⬇️ cAMP activity and opening of hyperpolarizing membrane potassium channels. 🔑This decreases conduction speed through the AV node (aka negative dromotropy). pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30562103/

Efforts to construct a black hole model using general relativity that agrees with the observable universe have been unsuccessful for a century. That time may be over iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

On Monday I resigned from the PMPRB, Canada's drug pricing regulator. Here's why:

Wow this is insane!
