Anger doesn't get anyone anywhere-but emotion bleeds out of pain & suffering.

Working past anger to build constructive solutions can solve serious issues UNDER the anger.

Labeling people angry or noncompliant makes it easier to dismiss concerns.

"Thank you for sharing your #patientstory. We pledge to take a specific action & report our results & findings back to you. Your contribution matters-this is how we prove it."

Your story has to be more than entertainment at a conference. It should be a lesson-a way to do better.

PJ here. Apologies for sitting out some important issues recently.

So tired of people taking advantage of #COVID19 to skate on responsibilities, pass the buck, or happy to let harm continue.

I am burnt out at a time advocacy is needed, but family & self care is needed more.

This would be more inspirational if Mr. Bezos & Amazon (both of whom have seen billions in record profits during #COVID19) paid their warehouse employees a living wage & provided them with PPE.

Acknowledging that patients are all at different points in their journey, some don't want to access data, some may want to only learn from their doctor.

Creating a transparent system to automate #patientdata access is important all the same, and allows for eduation & growth.

Doctors can be amazing advocates for their patients. Patient data ownership is an area there is tremendous disagreement.

With respect to how much doctors juggle, know, determine & decide...access to patient data should be complete, digital and instant--no decision required.

The Israeli government, confident it had beaten the coronavirus, invited students back to school in May.

Within days, infections were reported at a Jerusalem high school. It became the largest outbreak in a single school in Israel, possibly the world. https://nyti.ms/2EJWh7H

Should masks be mandatory for all?

Should a grocery store sanitize and notify if a worker tests positive for #COVID19?

Should a teacher be required to disclose travel out of province & quarantine for 2 wks?

Should a doctor?

Are your answers the same for all 4 questions?

This is a great list, I totally agree @anetto...but as #COVID19 has shown us...we have none of that.

We are much further removed than many of us thought we were just a few months ago.

We need widespread public support to get there, activating the general public to speak up.

Outside Toronto few can access #digitalhealth or portals.

When I stepped on on a rusty nail I called Public Health Unit to check my tetanus.

My PHU forwards after hrs to Public Works--which has no data access & advised me to try ER.

ER had no records either.

Wasteful. Costly.

We need people.

We need voices.

We need to amplify outside of social media. Phone calls and emails to decision makers.

Or our concerns will go nowhere.

GMail arguably offers good value for service: you get something in return & pay with your data.

Everyone has different comfort levels sharing data... but should know enough to make an informed decision.
