statnews.com/2025/08/07/slow… <-- ironically enough the article isn't written by a medical doctor, but they make a valid point. Many of my sick oncology ED patients have never had an honest 'goals of care' discussion, despite being at the world's center of oncology excellence 🫣
Unless you feel bored and want to read all 270 pages - here's an audio recap of the AI code of conduct in healthcare and medicine- by the National Academy of Science podbean.com/eas/pb-uvxku-18f… #ai #healthcare doi.org/10.17226/29087

100% agreed Dr. Venugopal! Be able to follow up on your patients is not only a valuable feedback and a learning opportunity but also good for continuity of care if gaps are identified.
It's short-sighted @CMPAmembers feels ER MDs understanding what disease affected the patient, to improve practise, and for no personal gain is the target for privacy police. Sounds like non-clinicians wrote this, free of the duty to care for people.

"use your iPhone anaesthesia .... " Awesome session on Peds PEM care in painful procedures from @doctorlianne at the beautiful Saskatoon @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference
The ED population is sick and unfortunately not as optimized as the OR cases, if anything it's a miracle sometimes we even get the airway - which 4 Anesthesiologists would be hovering over in the OR, after pre-op clinic, medicine consult, and fully fasted belly.
JC: Is ED intubation really associated with a higher mortality as compared to OR intubation?
ED intubation for patients needing urgent haemorrhage control surgery is linked to higher mortality and complications, but - #confounders!

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

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
