Condolences to the family and friends of Memory of Fatima Baig R.I.P.Nov7,21Humbergrad2020 following her tragic loss. Fatima sounds like an amazing woman and advocate. Her death is a reminder of how vulnerable transplant and PSC patients can be and how we need to keep working toward better treatments. 💚

Interesting, I know I struggle sometimes with balancing communication of uncertainty (inescapable in medicine) with evidence-based advice and encouragement.

More often than not, being #caregiver is at least equivalent to full-time work (more if I am honest). Many caregivers have to adjust their career or resign to accommodate. #onpoli has to recognize & support caregivers so we can do this vital work, while not losing our livelihoods

So exciting!! toronto.ctvnews.ca/mobile/small-g…

This a violation of human rights. Failure of policy & politics and above all, leadership.

I know first-hand from clinical work that home care is inadequate. But the way for-profit companies prioritize profits over client care is shameful, and consequences for clients & families are tragic. apple.news/ArFU2oYb9TkGQl…

Not a solution. Short-sighted. Immoral. Will certainly see an uptick in social isolation and confinement syndrome. so what else?? invest in more home care for high risk seniors. Prioritize and fund IADL support for those in need. Be creative.

Looking forward to this new role and to continuing to work collaboratively to enhance medical care for older adults in North Simcoe Muskoka!
