A deep thank you to MD colleagues who are part of the larger community of providers holding our healthcare systems together. We will find our way to a place where improving patient lives will no longer oblige us to sacrifice our own. #NationalDoctorDay #MedTwitter #burnout

Team Canada!!! Since March 2020, Canadians have stepped up and helped the pandemic response. We saved lives. We NEED the same thing right now. Life includes the vaccine plus plan until end of respiratory virus season. Mask, mod contacts, test & isolate where avail,and boost.

As an immunocompromised healthcare worker, relieved to have received my 4th dose of COVID vaccine. Also grateful that my 75+ parents are booked for second booster this week! Be sure your family is up to date with all recommended doses! #VaccinesWork

Day 4 of COVID and knowing full well my son will be expelled from daycare when he returns late next week #pottymouth

Day 3 of COVID and wondering if I can make the jump from my upstairs deck to hot tub safely #toomuchTylenolColdonboard

Day 2 of COVID and remembering Solomon licking the handrails at Sandspit was a bad idea.

Day 1 of COVID after 27 months of front line COVID care and realizing my prediction has come true #gotitfromthekids albeit not our own kids Christopher Murphy

Day 5 of COVID and I realize there’s no where I can go on our property that the kids cannot find me.

Day 6 of COVID and turning the corner.

Day 7 of COVID and feeling better, sounding worse. Sending vibes out to the universe with hope of avoiding #LongCovid and thinking of all our patients who struggle with its effects.
