Wondering whether to brave the #ONStorm to bring your child to the ER?
The most common question I hear in the ER is: "how do I know when to worry if my child has a fever?"
Check out this video on fever, ways to treat it & advice on when to seek care.

Thank you @CAEP_Docs for the @SREMI_MSH grant funding our development of a novel pediatric advocacy curriculum at @SickKidsNews. This grant will allow us ensure that future paediatricians have the tools to advocate for and with vulnerable children and their families. @eUSMD

@LauraStymiest @aliasun closing out the PEM half day with advocacy in PED - moral injury working in the ED - when we know what we should be doing/providing but we can’t bc the system sets us up for failure. One possible antidote = advocacy.

Storytime: For years there was a family of kids who would walk to my library. We knew things were rough at home and we tried to create a safe, validating, fun place for them (like so many others.) There were about 8 cousins, siblings, half-sibs, ages 5 to 16. Then lockdown hit.

We created this video series to help parents learn the signs of dehydration and decide when to seek care in the #ER. See our other videos on fever and work of breathing.

Dehydration can sometimes accompany a child's illness if they are not drinking enough or losing fluids from diarrhea &/or vomiting. But how do you know if a child needs to come to the Emergency Department? SickKids’ Emergency Physician, Dr. Alia Sunderji (@aliasun), shares tips.
Incredible work @DrCarolynSnider.
Rotating through ER at @UnityHealthTO allowed me the privilege of working w/ many healthcare workers who strive to offer dignity to those suffering from homelessness. Need to invest in gathering data on social needs and their link to ER visits
Powerful deputation from @DrCarolynSnider, representing all downtown emergency depts.
In the middle of a healthcare crisis, emergency depts are providing shelter and supports for homelessness because people have nowhere else to go.
We need dedicated 24/7 drop-in spaces, now.
How do you know if your child is working hard to breathe? When should you come to the ER?
Surging cases of #RSVirus inspired this video outlining signs of work of breathing with tips for on how to keep infants hydrated.

Our Emergency Department is currently experiencing extremely high patient volumes and much longer than normal wait times for non-emergent issues. As always, the sickest patients are seen first.
1000+ members of the health community & 200+ organizations across Ontario are at Queen’s Park, delivering a letter to @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP, calling for universal access to #healthcare4all in Ontario. #ONpoli #ONwide #CDNpoli #SDOH #statusforall
