Big Congratulations to you all on this very important work.
Deeply meaningful coming from the communities we try to serve & so proud of our RefugeeHealthYYC team.

We need to make Canadian Universal Health care better and truly universal but this skit highlights exactly what we do not want.
The skit is frustrating except it's real life and this is quite literally how American health care "works".
Another great one by

@AHS_media is throwing away doses rather than giving them as boosters to those who don't meet their current criteria.
This is wrong. Every produced dose should be in an arm and not wasted.
If we have enough to waste, the doses should go to the many other places that need them.
We have enough doses to do all this. And it is respects WHO requests. Having 1 million doses expire in Canada was unacceptable . I don’t claim these views to be original or novel.
Calling all Western Canadian GIM.
Do you have favorite Twitter GIMs, Dept/Divisions, groups/orgs, Researchers, Community Leaders, Wellness Gurus, etc you think other GIMs should hear from?
Send their handle to @BisonGIM - we to amplify things important to GIM!

By it's very nature (not a simple, single system problem), Long-COVID will become something that every generalist will need to assess & manage. How prepared are we? What tools do we need to ensure these patients get expert care? How do we support our long-haul MDs? #GIMStrong
🚨I wrote about healthcare workers with long-COVID, & how their experience changed their view of medicine.
HCWs & long-haulers are often framed in opposition, but here's the story of people who sit across both worlds. 1/

Does this sign remind you of HCWs constantly being told not to panic but to do more with less by some bigger fish?
Together we regain agency, are stronger, more productive and provide much better care for our patients!

Would this information change your practice? Are you doing these procedures or getting IR to do this work?
