Vaccines don’t cause autism. Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism. The biggest predictor of autism? GENETICS. We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this. This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine.

So let’s get this straight… Smith and Lagrange destroyed the firewalls to insulate AHS from government… And then there were massive procurement issues. And after that came to light… Cancer kids lost food and drink. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I've been bombarded by official excuses for the no-food, no treats policy for cancer kids and people stuck in ERs. They say it was never a policy when it's there in writing. Admit a screwup for once. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… #ableg #abhealth #abpoli #cdnpol #cdnhealth #yyc #yeg

Treating asthma with inhaled corticosteroids at 4pm is more effective than twice daily or in the morning. See our new publication in Thorax 🫁🕓 and the brilliant Ran Wang thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

1/11 A young woman is admitted with acute epiglottitis (w H flu bacteremia). While hospitalized she develops acute pancreatitis and hematuria with AKI. A confusing constellation of problems. How can we glue this story together?

"Just a bit muddled" - avoiding saying "delirium" - doesn't cut it. It's unprofessional. Euphemisms don't help patients or families families prepare or understand. Use the right word: DELIRIUM. #delirium

⚠️ Myth: If a patient knows both their name and their date of birth, they are not delirious. ✅ Fact: People with #delirium can often correctly answer simple orientation questions. Use onset/fluctuation, & altered alertness, & other sources to come to a diagnosis.

Neurology is so cool: A 61 year old man comes in for another opinion on his diagnosis of ALS Several years of progressive upper limb weakness Exam: upper limb fasciculations, brisk lower limb reflexes One look at the C-spine MR and you know it’s not ALS. What’s going on?

Targeting a journalist for doing her job is disgraceful. This is an attack on press freedom, plain and simple. The Premier must immediately condemn this behaviour. No one should face harassment or intimidation for seeking the truth.

Huh. Looks like the village of empress has sold their Lougheed era hospital (which was closed) for $125,000! And it’s being flipped into a recovery community! Wonder who the buyer is! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

RIP Ozzy Osbourne (1948 – 2025). As a global rock icon, Ozzy inspired millions with his music, but even more profoundly, he moved the Parkinson’s community by bravely sharing his diagnosis and becoming a pioneer in the conversation around advanced therapies, including stem cell
