BREAKING
YOUR F*$KIN WALLET

-The Fraser Institute.

I love the optimism in this - I think within 5 years the tech will be there (if it’s not already!) but getting risk averse institutions (and clinicians/patients) to accept this new reality may take more than 5 years… but here’s hoping! @DocMaximum @eUSMD @karimjessa @DrDevSK
I'm convinced that five years from now, the concept of a #VirtualScribe will be so entrenched in most ambulatory (and some ED) workflows that we'll wonder how we ever did without it. Is someone gonna put a reminder on their calendar to hold me to account? buff.ly/3Kna0QD

My views at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto where there was protests earlier. This is sacred grounds for health care and not for protest. It is against federal law to do so.

Started again...entire healthcare system is signing out to the ER for the holidays.
Patients calling GPs office being told no appointments available for their non-urgent problem, go to ER.
No added support for the ER to meet the demand.
ER not able to be on-call for everything

Warning ⚠️ EDI can be bad for your health!
In this internal document from the @Royal_College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, there is a proposal from the EDI group to prioritize social justice over medical expertise.
This is bonkers.

Hamas' decision to locate its headquarters units under hospitals was a propaganda masterstroke. From western media coverage, you'd think that gaza was one giant pediatric ward that just happened to have a few terrorists inhabiting basement apartments

#BREAKING: Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh reveals newly declassified info based on US intelligence that Hamas and the PIJ are using hospitals, including the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, to operate command centers, store weapons, and hide hostages.

At a screening on Parliament Hill today, not a single member from the government showed up to see the footage from October 7, 2023.
Not one Liberal Member of Parliament.
Maybe before making statements they’ll read this account. 👇 #cdnpoli – at Ottawa, Ontario

Toronto’s overstretched ERs are the worst shelters for the homeless. I ask the City of Toronto to recognize the unmet need and support our fellow citizens better. My deputation at City Hall today. @oliviachow @ausmalik @BravoDavenport @epdevilla

Jewish students at Cooper Union are in the library as protestors pound on the door.

#عاجل #خاص هكذا يبدو أكثر من نصف مليون لتر من السولار الموجود بحوزة حماس إلى جانب #معبر_رفح وهي تتمادى في إطلاق مزاعمها بعدم قدرتها على تزويد المستشفيات والمخابز والمدنيين بالوقود. #دواعش_حماس يسرقون هذا السولار من المدنيين وينقلونه إلى أنفاقهم وقاذفاتهم وقادتهم.
هكذا يبدو سلم أولويات حماس.
يا سكان #غزة، لا تطرحوا أية مطالب على إسرائيل. إن عنوانكم السنوار (البغدادي)، والضيف وغيرهما من عناصر داعش حماس الذين دفعوا بغزة إلى هذه الهاوية

If you can't see a difference between civilians dying as a consequence of military action aimed at military targets (bad, potentially even a war crime depending on circumstances) and deliberate, intentional slaughter of civilians in their beds you're fundamentally morally broken.

NEW: I’ve got up-to-date stats about how many kids are coming to Ontario ERs / getting hospitalized with respiratory illnesses.
The numbers over the past week are nearly *triple* the usual for this time of year. cbc.ca/news/health/children-…

The overcrowding across GTA ED's is not getting the attention it deserves. This incredible strain upon a short staffed, burnt out work force is a recipe for disaster. We need solutions fast.

Yikes. 30 MDs (afraid to sign names) w examples of compromised safety and leader response is 'only one patient complaint.' Complaints can be a useful adjunct to other safety detection mechanisms but offering that as reassurance should have the opposite of the intended effect.
#StarExclusive: Emergency physicians at Humber River Hospital have written a letter to the hospital's administrators calling for the emergency department to be temporarily closed until IT systems are fully restored, citing concerns over patient safety. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/06…
