“How do I say no?” Like this:
1. “I don’t have the time to do that.”
2. “Right now, my priority is X, I am unable to help with Y”
3. “If you’d like me to add this, which of these other three tasks would you like my to stop doing?”
…Or simply “No” (A complete sentence BTW)

268 unfilled residency positions in family medicine in the CaRMS match yesterday. Highest number ever.
We have a serious problem to manage together. Why are med students not choosing a career as a family doc (best specialty ever😀)?
Many reasons - some of it is on us...🧵

Gaslighting is a process where someone consistently denies the reality of another person while saying they’re the cause of the issue to begin with. Over time, the person stops trusting themselves and questions their own sanity.

“What we’re really seeing is just the entire system is under incredible strain. And the result of that is Canadians really struggling to get the care they need in a timely way," said the president of the Canadian Medical Association.

Harsh truth:
The recruiting process reflects the company's culture.
3-month interview process?
-> Expect bureaucratic decision-making
Lame job description?
-> Expect a creativity desert
Don't meet the hiring manager until the end?
-> Expect distance & little development

It is a crisis in Northern Ontario with the urgent need for over 326 physicians right now. @thenosm expansion will be one long term solution but we need help now with ER rooms closing for lack of MDs. @snewbery1 @NOSMMDworkforce @SueLeBeau1 @AlykhanAbdulla

Goodluck to all the Class of 2022’s in the CaRMs match tomorrow!
This day doesn’t define you but take today and treat yourself for all your hard work this year. Everyone in medicine is proud of your hard work especially during a pandemic.

Today I was a patient’s dad and not a surgeon. It was a reminder of the experience being vulnerable and scared. Every kind interaction meant everything. What we do everyday may seem routine, but across from you is a life changing experience in progress. Words matter. – at Philadelphia, PA
