Emerg Doc in the GTA. I like motorcycles and hockey. Love my wife and kids. Bad knee and, possibly, a bad attitude. Opinions expressed are my own.

Protect yourself from misinformation by not listening to accounts like this. Hard sail is safe and highly effective at preventing HPV and its resultant cervical cancer.

Ontario hospitals spent over $9B on private agency nurses and health staff over 10 years, study | thecanadianpressnews.ca thecanadianpressnews.ca/health/ontario…

Not only do agency nurses cost disproportionately more than staff nurses, they perform worse than a staff nurse (if for no other reason than they are unfamiliar with the departmental layout and protocols).

Big shout-out to every restaurant posting these lifelines inside the stalls of their women's restrooms. Anyone thinking this is overkill doesn't know what it's like to be a girl.

This goes against all evidence. Pregnant women, in particular, are at higher risk of complications from COVID. Further, the fetus is at higher risk of complications including abortion, prematurity and stillbirth.

Once again, I really do hope that Canada is actively recruiting top scientists from the USA. There is an undeclared war against thought in America.

Dear Americans who still value science and research: Come to Canada. We won’t deport you without due process for investigating topics the Prime Minister doesn’t approve of. Love, Canada.

If it’s quicker than an EM physician’s 10 minute assessment, this should be groundbreaking. EM physicians’ clinical judgement outperform all current guidelines and tests. This impacts time-to-treatment, which is the ultimate goal.

I love this pictorial! Especially, the part about IV antibiotics not being “stronger” than oral. People, including many MDs seem to believe that IV=stronger. I always say the strongest antibiotic is the correct antibiotic, whatever form that may take.
