Urgent vs. elective surgery: why does this categorization lead to problems? New commentary revisits the concept of 'urgency' in surgical prioritization: cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/c… @RoxanneKirsch @KaylaJWiebe @SimonKelleyMD @SickKidsNews @UofTSurgery

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with friends, colleagues, children and families at Okhmadyt.❤️🙏🇨🇦
⚡️Russian artillery fire has struck Kyiv's children's cancer hospital Okhmadyt, killing one child and wounding two, along with two adults, TSN reported. Eyewitnesses reported that the city is under fire from multiple-launch rocket systems.

Influenza-like illness? The GTA has plenty of safe & convenient options for pediatric patients to be tested & assessed. Counting on primary care physicians to help us ensure our patients & families get the right care, at the right place, at the right time. #ontariohealth
Emerg Dept is jam packed with very long waits & zero RSV or influenza positive swabs last 2 weeks (rhino and parainfluenza are most common) Definitely worrisome for when RSV and flu season inevitably arrives. ⁦@eUSMD⁩ ⁦@drosenfield⁩

Many kudos to @SickKidsNews for launching a #COVID19 Vaccine Consult Service. The service provides children, youth and their families the opportunity to have a confidential phone call with a SickKids clinician to ask questions about the #COVID19 vaccine for children and youth. – at Toronto, Ontario
Do you have questions about your child getting the #COVID19Vaccine? We've launched a COVID-19 Vaccine Consult Service to help answer those questions. Make an appointment to speak to a SickKids clinician through a confidential phone consult: sickkids.ca/vaccineconsult
