An important change down under: “There’s no other medical treatment where you are banned from telling someone what their legal and viable medical options are. There’s no other circumstance where the patient is required to know about their options and a doctor can’t tell them.

Points 5,6, 15……all important! Thank you @jamesdownar for clear summary and references/other national data for clarity.
1/ Canada's 5th #MAID report came out last week. More information (82 pages!), less fanfare, likely due to people being better at interpreting observational data. Here's a 🧵 with some key findings canada.ca/en/health-canada/s…

Our latest in @JAMAInternalMed - Int'l comparison of underlying illness in #MAID recipients- 20 jurisdictions, up to 24 yrs. Relative rates of MAID remarkably similar across jurisdictions + over time. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

“Reports that Track 2 MAID recipients are more marginalized than the average Ontarian are misleading because people who die without MAID, or people living with chronic illness show exactly the same degree of marginalization”.
In response to ongoing misrepresentation of Ontario's recent #MAID reports, here is a deep dive into the data. Bottom line- these reports are quite reassuring overall, and refute many stories about Track 2. Thanks to @mathisonej for hosting. See 🧵1/ valuejudgments.substack.com/…

In brief, despite what some might say, write, or incorrectly interpret…: “MAID recipients are less marginalized than average decedents.” But it’s absolutely worth reading this whole thread by @jamesdownar
1/There has been a flood of articles about Ontario's new #MAID data and reports released by the coroner this week, most of it based on "leaked" data in an AP article and people who don't know how to analyze observational data. Here's a 🧵 with the highlights from the report.
