There it is. Explicitly aligning Conservative party with Trumpian lawlessness.
Congratulations to President Trump on successfully arresting narco-terrorist and socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro, who should live out his days in prison.
The legitimate winner of the most recent Venezuelan elections, Edmundo González, should take office along with the courageous hero and voice of the Venezuelan people, MarÃa Corina Machado.
Down with socialism. Long live freedom.

Critical appraisal is required to ensure that AI is not used to solve certain problems facing health systems only to exacerbate a much greater problem.
Implementation of AI could be disastrous for the climate

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career.
He made it very clear how he felt about the press.
Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films.
Now you can see it.

Most leaders value loyalty. Great leaders put a higher premium on integrity.
Loyalty is allegiance to power. You're expected to show deference and follow orders.
Integrity is allegiance to principles. You're expected to challenge orders that violate your mission or values.

Today, I met the people who saved my life.
I’ve been tweeting about my cardiac arrest since I woke up in the ICU and re-downloaded twitter (@LGlaucomflecken deleted it for my own safety and concluded that if I could figure out how to get it back, I was safe to tweet again)

Canadian #healthcare is much the same, @doc_bipolar.
Health authorities & ministries bank on HCPs that overdeliver, self-sacrifice & don't challenge.
The profession of medicine has internalized these principles, though, so we know this is wrong but we train ppl to comply.
Truthful & brilliant thread.
Here in Ontario, we bear such unfortunate similarities to what is described here about the health system in the NHS.
By 2050, #COPD patients globally will grow by 23% c/w 2020. The largest growth will be among females and from low-middle income regions
What should we be doing now as a society to mitigate this? I hope governments and policy makers are watching.

This is a tough topic. Supportive members of three different Faculties have advised that I risk retaliation here in Calgary just for asking difficult questions. But, if academics won't speak up, how can we justify tenure?
This is where the rubber meets the road.

As a #pulmonary #doctor, I'm often asked how #lung #disease affects #breathalyzer performance.
Complicated Q! To understand it's use in #LawEnforcement , I was grateful for the willingness & openess of @NiagRegPolice for showing me it's use in #PublicSafety .
Thank you!
