Happy to share this interview with The Honest Talk on Menopause Matters!
thehonesttalk.ca/life/menopa…
Cat-roverted: wanting nothing to do with anyone until I absolutely require attention right away please but only just enough until i must return back to my chair where I will face the wall in peace. Good day to you.

What!
There's insufficient evidence that medical treatment (such as methotrexate) for tubal ectopic pregnancies confers any additional benefit over expectant management without medical treatment.

glad the message is getting out about HPV primary screening for cervical cancer! globalnews.ca/news/9821466/h…. Cool to be quoted by @globalnews in an article that showed up on my Apple News feed!
Astounded by the $ gouging for the CBT workbook for menopause, (350$!) when its non-meno counterparts costs 1/10th the price. Super tool, shameful price, shame on you @NewHarbinger. Guess i'm sticking with Menopause Manifesto by @DrJenGunter for my pts. amazon.ca/Cognitive-Behavior…

Hosting a joint SCC/GOC @colposcopists @Gyne_Oncology workshop @uOSSC_CCSuO to introduce the new guidelines heading our way in Canada!
“People under the age of 25 have the highest risk of HPV, but also have the highest rate of spontaneous clearance” #colpo #hpvtesting
Testosterone comes up a lot in meno clinic! Currently, it's only used in Hypoactive Sexual Desire and should not be used to target fatigue or depression in menopause. Big push over the next few years to clarify its role in bone, muscle, heart and brain health. #IMS2022

So pleased to be part of this excellent event @uOSSC_CCSuO !
We are revolutionizing hysteroscopy CPD training at @ObsGynTOH @uOSSC_CCSuO by using theatre-based simulation to teach crisis resource management for uncommon emergencies in addition to technical skills.

Learning so much at the inaugural CHyPS course at uOttawa Sim Centre @ChelsWarshafsky @DrSonySinghMD. So much more to learn and no better way to do it than with an intimate group of experts and keen Gynecologists.
Authorship help: academic journals seem to admonish "write in the ACTIVE voice", yet the taboo of using "we" and "our" persists. @medtwitter, how do I write in active voice without referring to myself as the agent, AND without sounding like a pompous nard! #science

Check out @ISSVDNa for connection to the movers and shakers bringing you up to date content on all things vulvar health!
@HealthCanada not intervening until "shortage reaches a national level". With 4 provinces reporting shortages, the canary has keeled over, and so has her replacement, and the one after that! #epiduralshortage

AND, what innovations are we willing to make room for? Who has ideas for what's next, beyond filling staffing gaps in the status quo. Who's our next "coast guard", what's our future "life vest"?
"This is the collapse. It’s happened and is happening. We are actually on the Titanic. We are sinking, and we are sinking fast. That is the truth of what is happening in health care," @ontarionurses president @CathrynOna tells @mattgurney #onhealth #onpoli tvo.org/article/health-care-…
📢THEY WERE WRONG.
Preach Dr Libby Edwards. Clobetasol is safe and well tolerated on the vulva (rct level data) #issvd2022 @issvd
I'm no @DrJenGunter but I was so distressed by the "you're on your own" mentality of our 🇨🇦 medical protection agency that I wrote them a response. Maybe if we all wrote them we would be heard.
🇨🇦📢: so, this is a universe where a 🇨🇦physician practicing on 🇨🇦 soil could be charged criminally for performing a procedure that is NOT ILLEGAL here, but is illegal in the state of origin for a future patient in need. SCOTUS garbage knows no (sovereign) bounds. #RoeVsWade
Steroid hesitancy is so common amongst ppl with #lichensclerosus and leads to undertreated skin. This means 1) more symptoms 2) more scarring and 3) more vulvar skin cancer. We also need to help providers help their patients !!
This is common to here in our #LichenSclerosus support group and why more needs to be done with awareness for LS and to STOP the misinformation on the internet and in other support groups.
