Providing palliative care to a dying newborn is not an “execution”. To say so is deeply offensive. salon.com/2024/09/11/whe…

It took the medical community more than 40 years to embrace hand washing. I hope we can learn the importance of cleaning the air much faster than that. Thank you Sabra Gibbens MD cmaj.ca/content/196/35…

Wait times and boarded times are already stupid in Manitoba. Let’s put the masks back on in health care. Maybe we could start improving ventilation and air cleaning strategies? You know, so that less people actually get sick? Bottom line: hospital acquired COVID can be deadly.

Had a tough, discouraging week on wards, but today I sat with a patient facing a terminal illness as he shared part of his life-story with me. He thanked me at the end but I was just as grateful as he was. Practicing medicine is a great privilege. #dignityincare #palliativecare

Using prognosis to gate-keep who gets palliative care places the perceived needs of the system ahead of the real needs of patients, loved ones. It also contributes to our health care crisis thru increasing the burdens on acute care services including our ERs and hospital wards

Prognosis-based palliative care seems “equal” but not everyone will get what they need. Equity is palliative care delivered on the basis of need regardless of life-expectancy. #palliativecare #EDI

Dear Americans, the institutions at the foundation of your country are in jeopardy. You are losing what actually does make your country great! The world would be a lesser place if your institutions fail. Stand up now! It may soon be too late!

Great challenges offer great opportunities. Canada, including Manitoba can offer a great place for disheartened US academics, but MBGov must step up and offer funding to make it possible! winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2… via Winnipeg Free Press
