GTA Twitter peeps. Be on the lookout of a food borne toxic ingestion in the Markham area that appears to have GI, neuro and cardio toxic effects. In some cases requiring critical care and VT arrest. Na channel blocking like. Role for bicarbonate? Role for intralipid.

If you see a Toronto Police officer today, remember there is a human being behind that uniform. A human being with a hurting heart, who may want to scream or cry. Don’t be afraid to have a conversation, to say you are so very sorry for their loss.

This seems like a bit of a disaster waiting to happen…we discovered this during in situ #simulation testing this morning Manufacturers need to do better Under pressure, it’s predictable these 2 very different meds could get mixed up #clinical #design #HumanFactors

It is with great sadness that I share the tragic passing of York Regional Police Constable Travis Gillespie who was killed in a collision on his way to work today. He is survived by his parents, loved ones and colleagues. This unexpected loss is devastating for all members of our organization.
