Tell me again why #PrimaryCare isn’t the top priority of government
You know what makes me angry?
When I admit a patient with metastatic cancer who’s unlikely to survive… and if that patient had been able to access a family doctor and simple routine screening tests they would have been most likely cured months ago. Now it’s too late.
This happens far too often. Not being able to access care sooner is absolutely killing people. It happens over and over again. It’s pretty pathetic for the billions of dollars we spend on healthcare.

…overdoses are rising even as teen drug use is declining. The % of teens using drugs is at its lowest point in almost 50 years. Drug use isn't more common: It's more dangerous. Fentanyl is the reason.
Out today: New analysis on teen overdoses in @NEJM
Overdoses hit an all-time high in 2022, killing the equivalent of a high school classroom of teens each week across the US
Overdoses now the 3rd leading cause of death in kids
I care for these teens. Here's what's needed 🧵 1/

A new report says that for some specialties, the new medical school under construction at the University of Prince Edward Island could require more doctors to serve as instructors than are currently employed in the province. #pei #peipoli cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-ed…
I keep seeing this @RCMPNS vehicle on Highway 125 between Sydney and North Sydney. It’s disturbing as the RCMP decal is faintly seen under the white paint similar to the vehicle in the Portapique massacre. If it’s an @RCMPNS should it not have an ID # 🤷🏻♀️ #concernedcitizen

This rhetoric is not in keeping with the conduct expected of a member @Doctors_NS @cpsns_ca MP or not You are better than this @drsdelliscc #ebm Please
Conservative MP @drsdelliscc lies and fear-mongers like no other.
They will stop at nothing for partisan gains. They are risky, reckless and this dangerous rhetoric won’t save lives. #cdnpoli
