Because we > I Because truth > lies Because our future > our past Because those who’ve been disproportionately impacted should NOT be last. Because I believe in God AND science I got the #CovidVaccine. #RightToBareArms #ThisIsOurShot

Provocative question. 15 year old with #SickleCell buzzes nurse at the same time as a 15 year old with new diagnosis of #Cancer. Both have pain and request their PRN morphine. Who gets their morphine first? Why? We are trying to look at these uncomfortable issues.

My father passed away last night in Windsor, Canada. Health Canada and PHAC has made it difficult for family every step of the way. They have unclear and unreasonable expectations, rules, and response times. #LetMeGoToMyDadsFuneral Please re-tweet to get their attention!

I’ve been looking forward to this arriving. An entire textbook dedicated to #sicklecell. This is incredible, and I hope it finds its way into medical schools, nursing programs, and more.

Ancestry can be an important consideration for many haematological conditions—but "there is no justified biological reason why reference intervals should vary by race", write Shematologist, MD and Patrick McGann. Read their call-to-action in The Lancet Haematology: hubs.li/H0P50VR0.
