Years ago when I was a radiology resident I questioned an OB GYN for ordering a CT on a pregnant patient. I wondered why there was no concern for irradiating the fetus, for which the OB GYN simply responded: “No mother, no baby”. Learned an important lesson that day.

Pregnant people are at increased risk of serious illness & complications from COVID-19. Vaccines can drastically reduce this risk & can be given safely at any time while trying to conceive, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. ow.ly/OJ2G50H9YrT @CDCofBC

Half of the patients in this ICU in Toronto are pregnant and have COVID. This is a catastrophe.

Great, long-standing collaboration between L&D and the ICU! Particularly important now that half of the patients in our main ICU (excluding our new surge spaces) are obstetric with COVID! @ccmtoronto @uoftobgyn
