Dear oncology: in 1 plain sentence, at the top of your note can you write: the cancer; when it was dx'd/recurred; where they are in their Rx; current complications; goals of care. I can't rapidly figure things out in the ER chaos. This is how I can best serve the patient.

A Mother’s Day plea: Be mindful of those around you. The day to celebrate motherhood can be excruciating for those who have lost a child, can't conceive, or miss their own Moms, by Marsha Lederman theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… via Globe Opinion #grief #MothersDay 💐

The care and expertise family doctors provide cannot be replaced, and compensation should reflect their true value to patients and the health system.

For the love of God, pay family docs more. “More money” may not be the solution for everything. But when it comes to retaining and recruiting GPs, it’s about as close to a magic bullet as we’re likely to find, by Matt Gurney tvo.org/article/for-th… via TVO Today | The Agenda Dennis Kendel

I refer 'social admissions' regularly. I thank Internal Medicine who are compassionate and understanding. Not a patient failure, but a policy failure. Thank you - Catherine Varner Andrew Baback Boozary Andreas Laupacis CMAJ cmaj.ca/content/196/17… - 1/2

Congrats to Alim Pardhan Sonja Wakeling from McMaster Emerg Med for their various awards!!!

So my local Ontario Health Team (Hastings Prince Edward Ontario Health Team) is advertising a local Reiki certification course.

Why does Ontario Ministry of Health want to lend its name & authority to a unscientific alt-health practice? Specifically a $125-225 course designed to generate more 'certified' Reiki practitioners? 😳

Pls, Hastings Prince Edward Ontario Health Team, don't legitimize pseudoscience!

Entities like Ontario Health, Alberta Health Services, etc, should be directing patients & professionals AWAY from this think kind of nonsense! cc Michelle Cohen, MD

DYK? Canadian doctors invest 10 to 15 years in their #MedEd & training to become a physician, in addition to #CPD each year.

Your dedication and expertise make a world of difference every day. Thank you!

En cette #JournéeNationaleDesMédecins , la vague de reconnaissance qui déferle sur les médecins m’inspire au plus haut point.
C’est un réel privilège pour moi d’appuyer mes collègues grâce au travail de l’ACPM.

A comic reflection on the roller coaster of medical training 🎢

How do you possibly capture all the ups and downs, the amazing moments and terrible moments, and every messy moment in between?

Emergency department visits by First Nations patients were more likely to end with them leaving without being seen or against medical advice than those by non–First Nations patients, disproportionately disrupting and delaying care.
