It was an honour to visit colleagues at Michael Garron Hospital in East Toronto to share my thoughts on "Pain, Pressure, Patient Experience during Cesarean Delivery" #PainNotPressure #OBAnes #MedThread
The recent Supreme Court of Canada decision in Hemmings v. Padmore raises important questions for #OBAnes practice...While the ruling reinforces the medicolegal consequences of premature or inadequately justified conversion to GA, it does not establish a new standard of care
🤖 Made with AI
Premature conversion and unnecessary delay carry significant risks...We need to ensure that this decision does not inadvertently encourage clinicians to persist with inadequate neuraxial anesthesia
Our priority remains patient-centred care, supported by sound clinical judgment, clear communication, and timely intervention when needed...This is an important opportunity for the #OBAnes community to advance the discussion
Anaesthesia is more than what happens in the operating room
We are there before, during and beyond surgery, relieving pain, saving lives, and supporting recovery
Safe anaesthesia must be accessible to everyone, everywhere

Hiya it's the 12th day of #Blocktober26 ! Hope you all had a restful and fun weekend! And thanks to those who emailed me their solved crossword puzzles--great work! 🧩🤓
Patients remember whether they were heard, believed, informed, and safe. Conversion to GA does not erase the experience. Not converting can also have consequences. Follow-up matters #PainNotPressure #OBAnes #MedThread
Quality is not the lowest GA rate. Quality is pain-free surgery when possible, decisive rescue when needed, and follow-up when pain occurs. Success is adequate anesthesia, not preserving a technique #PainNotPressure #OBAnes #MedThread
