Obstetrical services in Lethbridge is currently being held together by a small number of dedicated physicians and nurses. The lack of permanent OBGYNs is leading to unsafe care for expecting mothers despite our best efforts. @AHS_media and @Alberta_UCP need to do more.

Dear Danielle Smith:
I’m a Calgary OBGYN covering labour and delivery in Lethbridge today. This is a full-blown women’s health crisis and it’s about time you treat it as such.
Feel free to call our unit. I’m working for 48hrs. Happy to discuss strategies #ableg

If 700K doctors gave you the same advice, wouldn't you take it? 🤔 Help us amplify the "prescription" to greenwashing by taking our 30-second action & sharing this video!

Diagnosis: @LancetCountdown data-in 2019 we collected $4 billion in carbon tax revenue yet gave $2.3 billion in #FossilFuelSubsidies.
🧐
Treatment: Improve policy coherence with Indigenous approaches--consider the wellbeing of the next 7 generations 👇🏽

"COVID-19 doesn't change its virulence or transmissibility as it crosses provincial borders. There are signs this pandemic has overrun, or will soon overrun, health systems. We need all hands on deck to acknowledge that the ship is sinking." - @AlikaMD

Dear Lethbridge,
Since I don’t know how else you’ll know, here’s a local pandemic update. This is what changed over the last weekend.
After some two months of closure, our hospital has reopened the inpatient COVID unit as we are seeing a rapid increase in hospitalizations. 1/

Thread time. I’m going to lay out all of the major concerns I have with the current state of affairs.
1. Well, we are in wave 4. The wave of delta. A more transmissible and virulent virus. We are seeing a rapid rise in cases and people getting sicker, especially the unvaxxed. /1

Story after story about how rural medicine in Alberta is in trouble. The latest is 3 psychiatrists in Medicine Hat who are leaving.

Talking to a vaccine-hesitant family member or friend? Those conversations tough but so important.
My (not comprehensive) list of things to consider.
