Twitter can be a cesspool (as I know only too well) but man, it also has the capacity to prompt reflection, hope and optimism.

"We learned that minimally invasive procedures made gains during the pandemic because they allow patients to be treated quicker, there’s greater access available & in many cases, less infection, blood loss & a short hospital stay." - @NeilD_Fraser, @MedtronicCA #FutureOfCAN
