After 20 years of Family Med I’ve never had so many patients gain control of obesity, diabetes, & inflammatory conditions. I’ve never eaten as many veggies myself, had less cravings for sugar or felt so satisfied! #LCHF is real food. Nothing radical here! #HealthierCanadians

While you feel alone and scared to share your darkness, while you think the person in the family doctor’s exam room is talking about their blood pressure or diabetes, as many or more are talking about their stressors & mental illness. You can too. Please do. #BellLetsTalk

Don’t eat #fakefood! #betterfood #fewermeds

Wise words from the Dean of Faculty of Medicine: as a woman leader (any leader), know your strengths, build your team to complement your strengths. “Leadership is about basking in the glow of other people.” #WomeninLeadershipNL

Privileged to have been a part of the Live Different Team this past year, along with my amazing daughter - and to have met so many inspiring people along the way! #IWD2109

Celebrating International Women’s Day and strong leadership Faculty of Medicine I’m so proud to have raised my family while balancing my rural practice with a wonderful academic career! It’s not always been easy but it’s been worth it. #ruralmed #IWD2019

Writing, research, reflection, critical care, advocacy & connecting with so many friends/colleagues/former students. Loved the ethics session today! The best networking/CME is at #SRPC2019

So happy to see this awesome FPRP initiative roll out!

We’ve giving the same writing conference in several countries but my favourite is always at SRPC. From medical students to a lovely doctor in 47 years of practice - inspirational! A lovely ending for me. #SRPC2019

I bet we would have been friends! A passionate family doctor, proud Mom & advocate. She was funny & loved life. The media needs to stop glorifying men who abuse & kill women. #DrElanaFric #SayHerName

25 years ago I was a medical student at a much smaller SRPC R&R! So proud to accept the Rural Medical Education Award on behalf of #MUNMED, celebrate a night with my amazing colleagues and accept my Rural Fellowship! #SRPC2019

Equity, fairness, justice and above all dignity are key values in medicine. James Orbinski @MedEdConference #CCME19

Congratulations! Well deserved MUN MED 3D

A 2015 study that found that men who kill their wives, girlfriends or family members receive shorter sentences than men who kill strangers. The concept of “intimacy discount,” contains vestiges of the days when women were men’s legal property.
