I believe we are in for a big collective rethink about how our emergency departments are designed and how we do business going forward including a greater emphasis on social determinants, facing the ugly reality of racism and how we respond to vulnerable populations

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

Congratulations to my friend, President Joe Biden! This is your time.

The avg. cost of an ICU bed in Canada is $3592/d. The cost of paid sick leave for an essential worker earning minimum wage is 8h x $14.25 = $114/d. In addition to being the right thing to do, every paid sick day that prevents a #COVID ICU admission has a 31x ROI.
