Maisie, looking so thoughtful. Under the Indian Act, it was legal for the Canadian government to take an Anishinaabekwens like her away without parental consent and put them in church-run schools until 2014. We wouldn’t register our kids for their Status until the law changed.

I stand with the Muslim community and feel heartbroken for the lives lost and forever changed by this terrorist act. Hate has no place here.

🚨Final results of the RAPID trial now pub'd medRxiv 🚨 RAPID was an open-label trial that randomly assigned hospitalized ward patients with COVID-19 and elevated D-dimer levels to therapeutic or prophylactic heparin. 🧵 1/10 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

My toddler has undergone too many NP swabs to count, and now tries to play “covid test” with popsicle sticks while challenging my claim that this is unsafe… Who else is having this struggle?

Listening isn’t enough, but it is how I will honour today as I continue to reflect on my own role in colonialism reconciliation. #nationaltruthandreconciliationday

The Sarg has been a defining presence in the medical training of so many of us.

Heartbroken by the death of Rob Sargeant, a larger-than-life mentor, teacher, and doctor who taught most of all by his own example . His humour, kindness, and wisdom helped me, and so many others, through the demands of residency. Thinking of @karensargeant, David and Matthew.

Other countries: Free/cheap #COVID19 rapid tests (mailed or even in vending machines🤯) Ontario: $40 + not accessible for most people Why?

It is wonderful to see authentic and kind leaders like Dr. Straus recognized for their legacies.

You work in a factory. Your kid is sent home with COVID/classroom contact. You can't afford RAT. You can't afford N95s. You don't qualify for PCR. You have no benefits. How do today's announcements address your needs?

Today is my last day of residency! I am so grateful for all of the mentorship and sponsorship I received along the way from Michelle Sholzberg (thanks Michael Fralick for introducing us and for all your support), Lisa Hicks and many others not on Twitter. (1/2)

I couldn’t have done it without the world’s greatest co-fellows Heather VanderMeulen Jen Teichman Thuraya Al Busaidi Michael Douglas Scott, my village, and my original role model Karen saperson. As Maimonides said “May it never rest in me the notion that my education is complete”. (2/2)

As we’re about to get access to Paxlovid….remember it’s co-administered with ritonavir for PI-boosting. With heme malignancy drugs, be aware of its CYP3A4 inhibition and use cautiously with venetoclax, ibrutinib, TKIs, anticoagulants, etc. #lymsm

Sharing stories of suffering and recovery can turn on the lights for people who feel they are alone in the darkness, but it’s only the first step. Access to care, safe housing, and freedom from discrimination are essential for a healthy society. #BellLetsTalk

When a quarter of your patients present to an ED with their only concern being to ask for help with finding a shelter, you know we have a problem.

We recently found that almost 40% (!) of “healthy” 12-21 year olds have iron deficiency. tinyurl.com/FeJAMA But only ~6% were anemic so who cares?! I do, and you should too. A #hemetweetorial 🧵 1/
