I met another Patricia Ruth today. She is 83 years old. My average name age is going lower at last. #from87to83
Yesterday a patient asked me how long it takes to get used to wearing all the PPE when I'm working. I told him you never get used to it. It only gets harder to wear the longer you wear it. #COVID19 @fordnation @celliottability @OntHospitalAssn #wereessentialtoo #mrt
On May 18 Manitoba announced their Risk Recognition Program utilizing the money the federal government gave them. Guess who also made their list and not yours? gov.mb.ca/covid19/infomanito… @fordnation @celliottability @JustinTrudeau

How close do we get to patients, you ask? Global news used a photo of X-ray Technologists performing a chest X-ray on a ventilated COVID-19 patient. This is what we do every day multiple times a day. Tell us again we're not frontline. @celliottability @fordnation @JustinTrudeau

Completely agree, wrong and unfair, MI & Lab techs @CAMRT_ACTRM @SonographyCNDA @oarinfo @CARadiologists @CAIRweb are frontline! Just ask anyone from @fordnation @celliottability with #COVID19 who needed a chest X-ray or blood test. High quality health care is a team sport

So disappointed to see the updated eligible list still doesn't include imaging or lab techs - a destructive way to disenfranchise this essential group of HCWs. They are behind every test result for patients, including COVID. We exclude them and we demand more testing??

On Apr28 Randy directly addressed that MRTs and DMIs were not included on the TPP. Your response was "we want to take care of the 350,000 front-line workers and we understand that they are a part of that..." Guess it was a lie. youtube.com/watch?v=c7OuWH23… @fordnation @celliottability

This is the official list of occupations that qualify for the temporary pandemic pay in Ontario. Highlighted are professions that are at lesser contact and lower risk of COVID-19 than Medical Radiation Technologists. #covid19ontario @celliottability @fordnation @OntHospitalAssn

I welcome all hugs with anyone from the PC caucus. Because you know, we're not front-line. That handful of COVID-19 patients I just interacted with won't matter right? @fordnation @celliottability @HeAngus #COVID19Ontario #FRONTLINE

B.C. got their outbreak under control unlike Ontario. And even with a lesser COVID19 load their pandemic pay is retroactive to Mar 15 and INCLUDES allied health professionals. www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/s… @fordnation @celliottability @OntHospitalAssn #COVID19Ontario

Another chart showing the risk charted against average income. This by the World Economic Forum. We're 9th on this list and every profession above us is getting TPP and many more below. weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/o… @fordnation @celliottability @MrtUnited #COVID19Ontario #FRONTLINE

bbc.com/news/uk-52637008 Thanking the front-line is a pathetic way of describing the TPP in Ontario while you acknowledge one and not the other. Can you guess which one is getting the hazard pay and which one isn't? @fordnation @celliottability @OntHospitalAssn @MrtUnited #COVID19

This is how a portable chest xray is performed. This is how close we get to COVID-19 patients in every working day. @fordnation @celliottability @OntHospitalAssn #wereessentialtoo #medicalradiationtechnologists #oamrs

orilliamatters.com/around-on… way to lie about what OPSEU did. Not only did they send inspectors in and had a report written on April 22nd, they refused further inspections because your government did not provide adequate PPE for the inspectors. @fordnation @celliottability #covid19
WATCH: Ford has been "taking bullets" for union inspectors who refused to go into LTC homes

But the premier says he understands why in April inspectors were afraid for their health

We're 9th and 10th on this list right behind the nurses. This is by the Alberta federation of labour. @fordnation @celliottability @OntHospitalAssn #tpp #wereessentialtoo

Front-line workers frustrated at being left off pandemic pay list

Thousands of health-care workers are frustrated at being left off the final list for $4 hourly pandemic pay promised by Premier Doug Ford for “heroes” on the front lines of COVID-19.

I bought a bunch of scrub caps (in light of our hair net shortage among other things) and now the most exciting part of my day is picking which one will best go with the virus. #frontline #COVID19
