I would like to personally thank @adriandix for supporting national physician licensing. Within 24 hr I was contacted by a Canadian MD I keen on working in underserved rural BC towns. Locum (ie substitute doctor) access is a critical issue for rural BC A 🧵. . . 1/21
Hey family docs/FPs in training: 🤨 Care about @CFPC_e transparency, ^fees, for/against the added 3rd year of FP training? (re)Check your emails if you can't attend Nov 1st meeting: VOTE by proxy!!!!! @BCCFP @NanaimoDivision @ResidentDocsBC cfpc.ca/en/about-us/an…
As a recently graduated family doctor (2020) I wish to say in no uncertain terms that the @CFPC_e's plan to lengthen training by a year will worsen the exodus of people from family medicine, as so many have been saying 1/n
Animals may be able to detect natural disasters before they happen, but humans not so much. Thankfully, the National Earthquake Early Warning System is coming to parts of B.C. Learn more at: PreparedBC.ca/EmergencyPrepa… #EPWeek2023 #ReadyforAnything

Yesterday I had to phone SIX pharmacies to find one with Amoxicillin in stock to treat a child with pneumonia. In Vancouver. The system is falling apart and it is going to cost children their lives
So ... there is a #FamilyDoctorShortage and BC has a new Family Doctor payment model that will give doctors an alternative to "fee for service" WILL THIS NEW PAYMENT MODEL "FIX" THE SHORTAGE? (spoiler: maybe 🤞) #cdnpoli #bcpoli #healthcare A 🧵 1/
Holy Atlantic Time-zone, Batman! Am up SUPER bright (?) and early this am to speak to @mattgallowaycbc on @TheCurrentCBC about the #FamilyDoctorShortage & the recent announcement of the new family doctor payment model in BC.
Family docs aren't just looking for lump sum cash - the #primarycare shortage is not just about being underpaid, it's about fighting for sustainable working conditions so they can better serve their patients. timescolonist.com/local-news/pro… #bcpoli #familydoctorshortage
We need to be working on rational guidelines that account for the true costs, risks, and benefits of COVID therapeutics OUTSIDE OF THE CONTEXT OF A PANDEMIC And we need to be working on those guidelines right now @COVIDSciOntario @ASPphysician @DrFahadRazak @DFisman @CAEP_Docs
With nearly billion dollars allocated to BC Museum by the BC Government I wonder if there is a plan to have a section for Family Medicine. With practice closures and doctors retiring, future generations might learn about Family Doctors only from a museum.

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) is aware of rumours and disinformation spreading on social media regarding stillbirths at Lions Gate Hospital (LGH) as a result of mothers having been vaccinated against COVID-19. Thread:
What a difference a year makes
While everyone has the right to peaceful protest, the targeting and harassment of health-care workers at health-care facilities today is completely unacceptable. We stand by our health-care workers and support them fully.
An anti-vaccine website is distorting a study out of Vietnam to falsely claim vaccinated individuals carry more coronavirus than those who are unvaccinated. Get the facts. apne.ws/l2A3DGp
A north island overnight train? I took a look at the case for an Auckland-Wellington night train with sleeper cabins and a regular schedule, and estimated operating and capital costs to get it running. See post for details and comment. linkedin.com/pulse/case-ove… via @LinkedIn
In BC, approx 100 ppl a month have died from Covid & we reacted with emergency measures. 719 ppl died in a 4-day heatwave. Why do we not react with emergency measures to the global warming crisis? Why do we continue old-growth logging, massive subsidies to the oil industry?
