We need a paradigm shift from “patients first” to “nurses first”. Nurses need to normalize taking care of themselves. How can we provide safe, quality care when we are burned out, distressed & simply done? It is impossible to pour from an empty cup. #mentalhealth #NurseTwitter

Struggling to understand how a neurologist at a regional stroke center can request an MRI for an acute cerebral hemorrhage and five days later still no MRI @KingstonHSC

McGill’s law school receives roughly 1,500 applications for just 180 spots.
It gave one of those spots to a convicted murderer in his mid-60s, who will never pass the good character requirements to practice, and who violated his parole multiple times.

ER doc here. I'd never dream of leading a task force on improving orthopedic surgery. It baffles me an orthopedic surgeon is leading the Emergency Department Action Team. Not one ER doc was qualified apparently. @OntariosDoctors @ONThealth

15 nurses reportedly leaving one Ontario ER should make all of us pay attention. Whatever the individual reasons, we need to be asking what working conditions are like for the nurses we depend on when we are at our most vulnerable. Caring for others should not come at the cost of our own wellbeing. We need to talk seriously about workload, staffing, safety and nurse retention in Ontario.

As a medical student I never thought I would have to learn this much about architecture, design and development. But what would you have us to do when chronically unhoused patients live only half as long as the general public?

A 58% fee hike for the NCLEX while nursing students work 1,400+ hours of UNPAID clinical labor?! It jumps from $360 to $570 in Feb 2027. We have thousands of open nursing vacancies, yet the system treats future nurses like cash cows. It’s time for paid clinical placements, fee

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

Еще один герой в этой цепочке чудес, произошедших на рейсе из Дубая, - Шота Мусаев.
Шота - стоматолог и был единственным врачом на борту. Он стал одним из трех пассажиров, которые ворвались в кабину пилотов и остановили террориста. Вместе они связали нападавшему руки и ноги проводами от наушников.
А затем Шота остановил кровотечение у тяжелораненого капитана Смита Маччхара.
По словам саудовских врачей, если бы не действия Шоты, капитан бы умер.

There are more homeless seniors than ever in our country. So this is Spring House — our hospital is building 54 homes with partners to get at the root illness, not the symptoms. The first phase, Dunn House, showed ER visits cut in half and an 80% reduction in hospital use when housed. We’re not done.
Chelsea Bear should be alive! An #Indigenous woman, 36 wks pregnant & bleeding was turned away by medical staff. She & one of her babies died. This #TruthAndReconciliation Day demands accountability for this gross neglect & #racism #EveryChildMatters globalnews.ca/news/12073781/…
Being in St Theresa Point FN today & meetings w/Four Arrows RHA leaders, hearing their voices & experiences w/care, access & being heard, makes this even more urgent! #endracism #IndigenousVoices #OrangeShirtDay @ThriveToday @JenniferWaite04

Nearly 4,400 fewer U.S. teens and young adults died by suicide than projected in the first two-and-a-half years of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, a sign the program is working even as it faces long-term funding challenges. to.pbs.org/4cFt4ao
This #WorldHealthDay, let’s work together to recognize that mental health is as important as physical health. We need both to be our best selves. #mentalhealthmatters #itsallconnected #CdnHealth #ONhealth
April 2027 can't come soon enough. Ontarians will no longer have to pay to receive healthcare from a #nursepractitioner. NPs are qualified, trained & an excellent soln to the #physicianshortage. This efficient model of care is long overdue #ONhealth

It was a near miss. The nurse had far too many patients. Mistakes & med errors happen as a result. Nearly 50% of nurses report ⬇️ quality of care d/t workload. Write your MPP. Your loved one could be at risk. #whowilltakecareofyou #ONhealth #moraldistress #mentalhealth
ON already has the worst nurse staffing levels in CDA & yet 700 nurse positions have been cut! Makes no sense. Workloads increase, #mentalhealth declines, patient safety compromised & patient care suffers #whowilltakecareofyou #ONHealth #nursingshortage newswire.ca/news-releases/em…
MB govt gives 3 mos training to #LPNs to b/c #ICU #nurses. LPNs have 2yr diploma; #RN's 4 yr uni degree. Govt hiring NEW RN grads to ICU. ICU usually req 2 yrs exp. Simply filling spots does not = pt safety. Watching closely. #MBhealth #nursingshortage winnipegfreepress.com/breaki…
Could this baby be saved? Were #staffshortages #burnout & overwhelming #workloads behind what this #nurse claims to be poor treatment & management? #Racism? So many ? An independent investigation is needed #mbhealth #nursingshortage
