What bites need closure? Antibiotics? Referral to a specialist? When should we really be thinking about rabies?
For all your bedside considerations, Dr. @haileytnewton has a great algorithmic approach in BITE CLUB:

Privatizing a previously well-functioning publicly funded Alberta Precision Labs by Dynalife was supposed to save #AB 18M according to #UCP. Instead, it was an unmitigated disaster & now, we the taxpayers, have to buy it back.
How much $$ wasted?

ALT I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted the position of the founding Dean at the brand-new Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) School of Medicine! As the inaugural Dean, my purpose is clear: To build a medical school that empowers doctors to lead the changes we need to face the future. With a strong focus on equity, social accountability, and innovation, the vision for a medical school of the future is to place it at the forefront of shaping tomorrow's healthcare landscape. We believe that in order to address the evolving needs of patients and society, we must equip our doctors with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to drive meaningful change that benefits society. The aim will be to engage the community and clinicians to co-develop a School of Medicine that can train physicians to be change agents across healthcare. At the TMU School of Medicine, we will foster a culture of social accountability, creativity, collaboration, and exploration. Through interdisciplinary approach
Awesome application of health design methods to emergency medicine! Bringing design concepts to EDs in Canada @gillianharvey @Roops22 @VaillancourtSam @EddyLang1 @simplerob

[Want] “to tell people how bad it is in the face of the political ads that tell everyone that the system has been fixed, which we find very frustrating since we're inside the system."

Nearly 200 Calgary doctors have signed an open letter, saying emergency rooms are in crisis and calling for action.
The physicians warn the system is "collapsing," and their ability to provide timely/effective care is jeopardized

Please, everyone, read this. And please digest what it says and why everyone's vote matters. It matters a lot right now. Couple of comments about this. /1
As emergency doctors we are witnesses to the system- wide healthcare crisis in AB. This letter (signed by over >180 Calgary ED docs) adds our voice to the untenable state of healthcare. Albertans deserve quality, compassionate, and timely emergency care: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This is written by virtually the entire Emergency Department of Alberta's largest city. It is reasoned, thoughtful and most of all - absolutely correct. /2

Continuing down the road we've worn ruts in over the last 4 years is not a recipe for success. "Just wait - we're about to fix it" is not believable. I think Albertans deserve better - and it is our choice whether to make this happen. I hope you all vote. /end
