This is a big deal - @UAlberta first in Canada! SO cool. It’s not just because it sounds sci-fi. “Robot” surgery requires a VERY skilled human at the controls, but gives great 3D visualization, allows amazing precision and dexterity, smaller incisions- and faster recovery.
University of Alberta’s Dr. Max Levine has launched Edmonton's robotic surgery renal transplant program. This month he performed two robot-assisted kidney transplants, including a living donor transplant – a first in Canada using a robotic-assist. #ualberta #surgery #urology

#UCP privatized our hospital cafeteria. No food for those on weekend call. A disaster, just like the lab. How are we supposed to recruit & retain #healthcare staff when we can’t even feed them as they work 24/7? #abhealth #abpoli #ableg #abelxn23

Kaycee Madu attempts to interfere with the administration of justice and he's made Labour Minister. Tyler Shandro is under law society investigation and he's made Justice Minister. Verna Yiu does her job and she's fired. That's the UCP's Alberta. #ableg #abhealth

"Vaccinate so you can fornicate" - A simple but hopefully effective message to help reduce barriers to COVID vaccination in men.
“There is no evidence at all that the COVID-19 vaccine in any form causes erectile dysfunction,” says #YEG’s Dr. Keith Rourke. “In fact, the opposite could be true. We know that patients who get sick with COVID-19, even mild illness, can experience erectile dysfunction.”

my 5yo overhears wife&I discussing new travel restrictions. 5yo: “But we’re not supposed to travel because COVID. That’s what makes COVID worse” My 5yo gets it. Why not @Alberta_UCP we haven’t forgotten #ucpvacations looking forward to 2023 #ResignKenney

It would really be a shame if everyone retweeted this photo of @DevinDVote, in case he's forgotten what he looks like in a hat.

Albertans deserve to see a full list of all the UCP ministers and MLAs who flouted the public health restrictions and jetted off to Hawaii and other tropical destinations for vacations. #AbLeg
I spent Christmas working in the ER and taking care of inpatients without a COVID vaccine. @TracyAllardUCP were you thinking of the frontline while on the beach? Hard to fight a battle when your leaders aren’t behind you. #UCPvacations

So I can work Christmas&NewYrs in an over-capacity hospital, while my young kids cant spend Christmas with grandparents who live 5 minutes away. UCP MLAs can galavant in sunny destinations. The hypocrisy of this UCP govt is infuriating. You are all spineless #ResignKenney
