When a convoy of vehicles led by a dump truck tried to drive through Marika Morris's downtown Ottawa neighbourhood, she and a few others decided to stand on the road and block their path. Here's why. #OttNews cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/do…

Access to surgery/anesthesia in First Nations/rural communities is a constant struggle. When available, it often fails to understand, respect the culture of First Nations, Aboriginal patients. How does your #anesthesia practice honour traditional principles?#IndigenousPeoplesDay

Interesting poster study on the use of epidural during labour and the association with post partum depression. Dalhousie investigators find use of epidural did not confer protection against ppd at 3 months post delivery. @ammunro2 @CASUpdate
"Radiology leaders must take the lead in educating the imaging community about how #AI will augment the work of radiologists rather than take away their jobs" said RSNA President Dr. Vijay Rao lasi.io/p/e9y2li by @written by Louise Gagnon @writemed @auntminnie

Can’t resist the retweet. I would point out that one aspect of #Radiology care more advanced in OUR galaxy is the existence of #radiologists providing prenatal #ultrasound! After all, they didn’t know Amidala was going to have twins Leia & Luke, did they? @CARadiologists xitter.gq/rsna/status/9924037334…
Radiologists provide patient care that is out of this galaxy! Happy #StarWarsDay & thanks for all you do. #MaytheFourthBeWithYou #radiology
