HCWs need easy and free access to vaccines. Without the vaccine, there is greater risk that they will pick up Covid or the flu and pass it on to a vulnerable resident.

Hey AB, let's talk about vaccine access - specifically what it used to be like for busy HCWs caring for sick ABs with highly infectious diseases🧵 : - in the hospitals, roving vaccine teams would come around and give you a shot while on shift! 1/10 buff.ly/YuuaRKL

“From 1981 to 2015, there were an average of 18 smoke hours per year in the city of Calgary. No year had over 100. Now we see hundreds of smoke hours routinely: 315 in 2017, 450 in 2018, 439 in 2021, 512 in 2023, and 2024 was ‘only’ 200.”

It’s really disappointing. The smoke has so many layers of bad - the health impacts, the reminder of the reality of climate change and the overarching reminder that the order we create out of nature is fundamentally so fragile - nature always bats last. And so few seem fussed.

This is real. Trump appears to be suggesting his tariffs on Canada will result in fentanyl dealers getting dinged at customs.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Can confirm that admitting teams have been begging for supports to expand capacity and allow 4 safe care for years. Without it docs have left and fewer admitting teams result. Those teams have safety limits as well. The Frontline HCW is doing their best. We need execs to come, see, listen & act.

Maybe with some actual leadership in the Acute Care Agency, the disintegration will slow, and someone can attempt to address this chaos? Our HC teams have literally been begging for help to fix our ED overcrowding, yet govt decided "refocusing" was to get 100% of its attn 13/14
