Looks like pharmacare and dental care will allow Trudeau government to stay in power until 2025.
Woot woot!

I think it’s time we remove all measures around the safe handling, storage and preparation of food.

But first, we must severely limit access to bacterial cultures and toxin screening so we can’t pick up if there are any problems.

Anyone else in Ontario feeling like they did everything right for two years only to have the rug pulled out from under them?

How are we opening schools at the same moment we are closing hospitals?

Folks often fail to recognize that personal health can be gained at the expense of wellness. As industrialized societies have come to idolize individual health they have placed greater emphasis on life style choices and self care and less on shared space and belonging. 1/2

@PatientCritical My doc office does not take messages if they are on the line. I can’t call back x 5 when I’m at work. No calls answered during lunch. Can take weeks to get through to schedule an appointment

When you miss a Dr's call:
-no message
-NO second call attempt
-call display blocked

When a Dr misses your call:
-callback=busy signal
-callback=long hold
-result? Reschedule apptmt

Without interoperability & easy, universal access to data, the right to access it means little.

Is there a seat for patients to help @nshealth design healthdata access that works for them?

Talking to a vaccine-hesitant family member or friend? Those conversations tough but so important.

My (not comprehensive) list of things to consider.
