Exactly! I remember the Misericordia 'fix' too. Until the bed block is solved, wait times won't budge. Listen to the clinicians on the front lines! 👏👏
Replying to @JMeddings
Thats the ticket! Of course now we just have double the number of people lying in the ER waiting for a bed upstairs. Everyone here knows the problem causing ER waits is not because the ER is too small. It is because pts can't get upstairs. The ER is constipated. /2

Congratulations Greg! Superb trial, and I love that 72% of the patients were women. Results like this matter so much for women's health 👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing the results of our IRONMET-HFpEF trial #AHA26 Mike! The full manuscript is available now, open access, at #Circulation. doi.org/10.1161/CIRCULATIONA…

Science News: Scientists Discover How Human Cells Can Regain Youthful Molecular Features! What if scientists could watch the molecular signs of aging change inside human cells? Researchers in Bonn have demonstrated that blood-derived cells from older individuals can be reprogrammed into neural stem cells with remarkably youthful epigenetic profiles. Their October 2026 study reveals that these molecular changes unfold gradually, offering an unusual opportunity to observe cellular rejuvenation in detail. The findings could reshape research into regenerative medicine, brain health, and the mechanisms influencing healthy aging. Although no human rejuvenation treatment has emerged from this work, the discovery opens an exciting scientific window into how cellular age-related characteristics can be remodeled.

Great summary, and I love the honesty about what's proven vs hypothesis. Patients deserve that clarity 👏👏👏
GPCR Autoantibody theory makes the most sense for Long Covid and Dysautonomia patients. BC 007 is still the best chance for patients to have an improved quality of life because this treatment improves the functioning of the Autonomic Nervous System and the Microvascular Blood Flow. Phase 3 trials starting soon… #LongCovid #Dysautonomia #BC007 #POTS #pwME #pwLC #APTA

For @ASCP_Chicago #PathologistWeek, I’m honoring a pathologist each day. First: John Anastasi from @UChicagoPath - the reason I became a hematopathologist. His “Buckyballs in the bone marrow” paper captures the curiosity that inspired me. Thank you, Dr.A! doi.org/10.1182/blood-2011-0…

I love this - closing the 'last mile' between discovery and delivery is so important! Superb lecture and a wonderful legacy to honor 👏👏👏
In a powerful Conner Lecture this afternoon, American Heart Association volunteer President Dr. Manesh Patel inspired us to close the “last mile” between discovery and delivery, so that today’s advances can reach people everywhere and improve lives more quickly and meaningfully. We also honored the extraordinary legacy of Dr. Eugene Braunwald, and we recognized today’s leaders whose remarkable achievements are advancing science, improving health and inspiring what comes next. @American_Heart @manesh_patelMD #ScientificSessions26

Sadly this is not discipline, it's institutional failure. No one can train properly on 36-hour duties … Well said 👏👏👏
34 junior doctors left AIIMS Delhi in 2025. Across institutions, residents are walking away after duties stretching beyond 36 hours, harassment and toxic work culture. These aren’t “discipline” problems. They’re institutional failures. A residency should train doctors—not break them. Enforce duty-hour limits. Hold those responsible accountable.

Love this - power to the front line! The experts are already there, they just need to be heard 👏👏👏
I’m feeling very optimistic about improving BC healthcare. It actually started getting better last 2 years. The family doctor salary deal. Finally stopping Vancouver old belief Drs from blocking Americans coming has made a huge impact. I’ve met with wonderful people in the provincial government, but finally the hiring freeze that came in due to tariffs stopped the nonsensical constant hiring of new people, displacing people in their jobs with no consistency for hospitals. The power is returning to front line. I urge the new government to not hire consultants. The experts are already there working across every field of healthcare. Listen to them, they know how to make the system better from pediatrics to geriatrics from surgery to palliative care.

It’s a crime this isn’t already commonplace in hospitals.

Ideal set-up for AutoUV to disinfect bathrooms automatically & patient rooms semi-automatically 10, 20, 30+ times per day with UVC To eliminate >95% of pathogens in air and on surfaces In theory, rooms get manually disinfected once a day In practice, they don't

Fascinating! Stem cells from a simple hair pluck instead of painful extraction - if the science holds up, I think this could make regenerative medicine accessible to so many more patients 👏
Harvesting your own stem cells for rejuvenation therapies has been a very painful and expensive process. But now there is a startup in Canada that can get at stem cells just by plucking out some of your hairs. Skin and hair treatments today. Possibly treatments for all sorts of body parts in the future. They'll pluck you and store your youthful cells in a vault. Full story here - youtube.com/watch?v=J8eOvxHP…

Politics isn't my lane, but I'll always speak up for healthcare funding that reaches patients 👏 Affordable access matters for everyone.
The finance minister decided to interrupt my interview, so I challenged him on his billionaire’s budget. We won't make life affordable by giving more handouts to the 1%. It's time to tax the rich so we can all share in the wealth of this country. Add your name: ndp.ca/take-action/wealth-ta…

Great to see these conversations happening 👏👏👏 We in healthcare matter to that economy too, hoping Budget 2026 supports the people caring for patients!
#Budget2026 is about building a stronger, more resilient Canadian economy while creating opportunities for businesses and workers across the country.   This morning, I joined business and community leaders at the Ottawa Board of Trade and Ottawa Business Journal’s Budget Breakfast to discuss the 2026 Federal Budget and what it means for Ottawa, our region, and Canada’s economic future.   These conversations are invaluable as we work together to build a more prosperous future for businesses, workers, and communities across Canada.

This is a scandal and more egg on the face of the Ontario Ford government. Shameful.
#NEW: This Ontario family doctor wants an apology after he says the Ford government sent him an ‘intimidating’ letter for working too much #ONpoli Full story: cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

Interesting take, but a shrinking workforce means longer waits for patients. Skilled clinicians go where they're valued and supported. The UAE gets that with real investment in health innovation 👍
Replying to @TheELongWave
The population can shrink, it will free up space and resources for Canadians to start families. No animal population anywhere in the planet is always increasing. There are ebbs and flows.

This is the trap exactly. I know brilliant sonographers who left Canada for stability and real investment in innovation. Give people a reason to stay AND to produce more!
🍁Brutal reality: Canada needs more immigrants at the exact moment voters have learned that more people didn’t make them richer. Around 2032, deaths overtake births. 👇 After that, all of Canada’s population growth must come from immigration. Without enough of it, Canada shrinks for the first full year since Confederation. But Canadians have already run this experiment. Since mid-2022, Canada’s economy grew more than 5%. Yet income per person fell about 1.4%. The country got bigger. The average Canadian got poorer. Since 2015, income per person grew 0.82% a year in Canada vs. 2.07% in the U.S. That’s why the backlash was brutal. When immigration hit 500,000 a year, 58% said there was too much: the fastest swing in opinion since 1977. Opinion only cooled to a 48/48 split after the cuts. So here’s the trap: raise immigration without raising output per person, and the backlash returns. Don’t raise it, and the country shrinks. Canada doesn’t need more people or fewer people. It needs each person to produce more. Productivity first, then population.
