Allow me to point out that a teen with an Xbox can play in real time against people all over the world but a pharmacist in Toronto has no idea what medications were dispensed last week at a pharmacy two blocks away.

Excited to share our work using phages to identify bacterial pathogens in sepsis. Because phages are highly specific for their bacterial hosts, they offer strain-level resolution that could enhance cell free DNA diagnostics nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

“Private clinics will get 33% more than hospitals for a surgery” ~ Let that sink in.

Private clinics will get 33% more than hospitals for a surgery but won’t take complex medical cases. Hospitals will be left with expensive cases, no economy of scale & 33% less for performing a more complex surgery. Are you sure the Ford government supports the public system?

Bacteria replicate DNA at crazy speeds & accuracy. 💨 If DNA polymerase was a USPS truck, and each home was a single nucleotide: This truck would deliver to every home in the U.S. in 65 hours. It would do this about 4 times without making a single mistake.

Spotify wrapped is cool and all but what I really want is an EPIC wrapped. “You spent 7823 minutes writing discharge summaries.” “Your most prescribed medication was zosyn.” “You ordered 237 unnecessary chest radiographs.”

It's odd/weird/hard hearing the words "COVID is over" when weekly deaths for most of this past summer and fall have outpaced both 2020 and 2021.
