Joe Rogan is repeating the same story told by RFK Jr. and other anti-vaxxers when he talks about why the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was formed. None of them ever talk about how these reasons were investigated and found to be false. The culprit? An anti-vaccine…
Change starts with respect and a new brand. Family physicians are often called GPs or non-specialists. Medical students who “specialize”in family medicine are called family physicians. It’s time to recognize that family physicians are specialists too. @CFPC_e
A lesson for Bill Maher and Pierre Poilievre. “That government pays into a system that manages our health for us, so Grandma doesn’t have to sell her house to buy a new hip…..” 👏👏👏👇👇👇#NeverVoteConservative @billmaher #canada #healthcare #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou…
On the list of "things that should be illegal in medicine but aren't," starting any sentence with "remember that patient you saw last week..." is definitely in the top 10. Thanks to @DGlaucomflecken for hitting the nail on the head with this one. #emergency #emergencymedicine…
ON Medchecks weekly cost $1.4M $75M yr, 1.5M people. Every unnecessary Medcheck is reviewed by a family doc & increases admin burden. Government must act immediately on unnecessary costs.Shoppers Drug Mart says it doesn't have medication review targets cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new… For those keeping track that’s $220 for a nurse practioner to do a pap & give results compared to $37 visit +$15 pap + $0 results call = $52 for a family doctor from OHIP. You can’t find a family doctor because they are paid 400% below market value.
I promise there is no greater falsehood or disservice to the nobel profession of medicine than to promote, tout, brag, support or advertise that you or anyone else is a “top doctor”. A denigration, unseemly and unbecoming.

No. You are not. You are keeping the Board of Directors of Shoppers Drug Mart happy. The number of prescriptions does not readily translate into an enhanced quality of care.
Since January 2023, pharmacists have done more than 650,000 common ailment assessments and issued over 550,000 prescriptions across the province. While the NDP and Liberals voted no to support the status quo, we’re connecting you to care closer to home.
I asked AI to generate a dead canary in a coal mine image but have the dead canary in the emergency department. This was inspired by an @alandrummond2 quote.
Yes. This!
This is such an important point. Overcrowded ERs are not caused by people showing up with minor complaints. These we can treat quickly and discharge. It's the complicated cases, say the young lethargic child who's stopped drinking, the elderly grandmother who's confused and…
Here’s a video I made breaking down this important case of a young man in his early 20’s who presented to the ER with cough for 1 month #FOAMed
As a Fellow of the @Royal_College for 25 years and chair of one of its examination committees, I think the former Dean of Harvard Medical School is exactly right.
For a medical society, or a medical school, to prioritize "social justice" over medical expertise is to declare themselves unfit for their professional roles.
