I guess 250 years or so was a good run for a democracy. Well done USA! There are few ways for democracies to self-destruct. You found one despite all the warnings. Enjoy your slow slide. You probably won’t even notice it happening. Sadly it’s going to spread here too though.

Thrilled to catch Gabriele Mroz’s talk from her Master’s work on trauma-informed approaches to investigations at @PAC_Expo @PAC_Paramedic
Gaby - now Deputy Chief at Northumberland - did this work during her time at @Peel_Paramedics
Her research has been transformative.

Thrilled to announce my interview with @zachcantor for @criticalevels on violence against #paramedics is live!
Expect to learn about the innovative research @Peel_Paramedics are leading, my thoughts on body armour & self-defence, and...much more

Trauma centres are essential. In peel we have been trying to expand trauma centre reach for years but red tape has had @Peel_Paramedics tied up. Paramedics can only go to trauma centres within 30 min drive. 60 min is safe & would allow us to provide more appropriate care

Outstanding! An honour to be medical director for the best EMS agency on the planet! Splitting this service into three parts would be one of the worst decisions I can imagine. I completely support @Peel_Paramedics to do anything possible to prevent such a disaster!

The respect and admiration for @OPSEU277 @Peel_Paramedics shown in Council today was beyond heartwarming
Thank you @mariorusso_ca @patrickbrownont, @AnnetteGroves_ and so many others for an incredible show of support today
And thank you @DaveWakely for representing us so well
At @regionofpeel today, I was honoured to put forward a motion to stand in solidarity with our @Peel_Paramedics & request that the transition brd & ultimately the Minister & Gov. of Ont keep them whole. Ty to my colleagues & staff for the support. And thank you @Peel_Paramedics

"A level of excellence that is unrivalled" @patrickbrownont
It's not just our core services that would be threatened:
-Research
-Public Access Defib
-Community Responders
Around the world, people look to @Peel_Paramedics & @OPSEU277 for our expertise.

We lead the world. And we are closing Jan 1, 2025. There is no plan.

Grateful for the brilliance of @DrCheskes and his EMS crews whose NEJM publication made this the standard of care.

Unfortunately @Peel_Paramedics won’t exist soon if the transition board has their way. Instead you’ll be getting lower quality care from a lower-tier municipal agency. Patients will suffer. Reach out to let the board know if you’d like our world class service kept as is.
We want to thank you the @Peel_Paramedics for helping our daughter yesterday. You were calm, caring and great with her. She loves the stuffy too. Thank you.

@Peel_Paramedics & @OPSEU277 do incredible work
The Ontario Government is dissolving the @regionofpeel in just over a year and is inviting public comment on how #paramedic services will be delivered moving forward. Have your say ontario.ca/page/peel-region-…
Lives are at stake.
Peel Paramedics provide out-of-hospital, medical and community care 24/7.
Over 700 paramedics respond to more than 140,000 emergencies each year. Making us one of the busiest paramedic services in Canada.

Last one from the @OAPCMedia symposium: Lessons from the @Peel_Paramedics @OPSEU277 COVID-19 High-Risk Response Team.
A truly innovative collaboration between researchers, clinicians, labour, & leadership with impressive results. Details here: linkedin.com/posts/justin-ma…

Excited to have been awarded the 3CPR Travel Grant from @AHAScience @American_Heart to share, learn & Present the amazing work @Peel_Paramedics is doing through innovative community based programs designed to Save Lives, and support those who Acted to Save a Life. @AHAMeetings

So glad @fordnation is open to correcting mistakes. Currently paramedic service delivery is being put at risk by the division of @regionofpeel. The public needs a commitment to continue to deliver paramedic services on a regional basis.

97% of the US Military (~1.3 million) was fully vaccinated by 2022.
The hospitalization rate in 2021 was the 3rd lowest rate of the past decade.
The hospitalization rate in 2022 was the lowest rate of the past decade.
The majority of hospitalizations were related to mental health disorders or pregnancy.
COVID-19 accounted for 1.5% of hospitalizations in 2021 & dropped 70% to under .5% in 2022.
Cancer (neoplasm) hospitalizations in 2020 & 2021 were identical & went down in 2022.
There was no measurable rise in circulatory system, immune disorder or nervous system hospitalizations.
Vaccines are not harming the young & healthy in the USA.
I’m now up as @medic_4900 on Threads. Hoping it can replace Twitter after my once-useful feed here became a useless cesspool of anger and unverified disinfo. I have high hopes.
Med Twitter last night:
Cardiology: HOCM? Maybe a channelopathy?
Surgeons: Unstable c-spine fracture? What about catastrophic vascular injury?
Emergency Medicine: Commotio Cordis?
MAGA doc: It was the vax.
