8 years ago I met one of my first special needs mom friends in real life. She has hugged me through my biggest tears and celebrated alongside me in some of our biggest victories. Now she needs help. If there’s anything you can spare, it would mean so much. gofundme.com/f/hard-times-ha…

Tip: If you're not sure how to pronounce a name (this happens to me on the regular seeing patients) just say, "I'm sorry. How do you pronounce your name?" - while this may feel uncomfortable, it shows you're willing to prioritize someone else's dignity over your own comfort.
Families need access. Access to services. Access to resources. Access to information. Access to technology and infrastructure. I have so much hope that this possible. #KidsInCrisis #onpoli
Unmet needs in children’s healthcare impacts health outcomes, mental health, individual and family well-being, society, the economy and so much more. Thanks to @CHCOntario and all supporting organizations for bringing this to the forefront. #KidsInCrisis #onpoli

Let's be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don't blame the protesters.
Blame racism.
General question: does the “workwear” section of retailers now link to sweatpants? #stayhome #WorkFromHome
Got out for a walk with these beautiful people. #FamilyTime #2metres from others. Nice to enjoy the sun.

Tell us about a young child but say “my co-worker” or “my friend’s co-worker” instead of their name. (Because, you know, this is reality now for some of us.)
Ex: My co-worker asked for yogurt and is now crying because I gave her yogurt.
Given what’s happening in the word, I’m proud to work for an organization that does its part to help public health. Colleagues and friends, be kind to yourselves and each other, wash your hands and take really good care!

When we were little my cousins and I would play baseball. We’d each pick a position and a player. I remember the squabbles over who got to be Tony Fernandez. What a loss. Rest In Peace.
I really enjoyed being able to write about this topic. Thanks @AakankshaT for the opportunity!
