Lovely to be back teaching with The CARE Course faculty....albeit with limited numbers and behind shields and masks. Great group of family practice residents managing many different patients and practising their ER skills!

Would that we all had a doctor like Sarah Newbery. She's a rural general physician in the MarathonOntario and an asst. dean at NOSM University | Université EMNO. Some of her patients drive 400 km to see her. Find out how she keeps it all together on @TheAgenda at 8/11pm on TVO.me. #health #medicine #Covid

A nurse practitioner where I work at offers her patients the covid vaccine and if they decline, she then pulls out advance directive papers and fills them out right then with the patient. I think I love her.

...heading back from Haida Gwaii...2 days with the great docs, nurses & pre-hospital care folks in this incredible place Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) @BCEmergMedNtwrk

...& might matter more for long rural transports of head injured patients....a good reminder to try to elevate the head of the bed and especially the head of the ambulance stretcher if raised ICP is a possibility @SJTREM (free open access journal - v cool!)

8 days straight, 4 sets of rural Family Practice residents, 256 simulations, 192 skill stations, & The CARE-R Course is wrapped up :) Amazing faculty, amazing residents. A huge privilege to work with you! Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) BC College of Family Physicians @BCEmergMedNtwrk Gary Amundsen Capilano University @ResidentDocsBC

Exactly!

Hmmm, I know an organization that should look into this

SERVICE ALERT: 9-1-1 disruption affecting service in #CentralOkanagan. Life-threatening emerg? Try 9-1-1 in case service restored. No response? Call your local police non-emergency line to get help: nonemergency.ca Do not call for non-emerg matters at this time. #911BC
