As emergency doctors we are witnesses to the system- wide healthcare crisis in AB. This letter (signed by over >180 Calgary ED docs) adds our voice to the untenable state of healthcare. Albertans deserve quality, compassionate, and timely emergency care: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Anybody want a peanut!?
Scientists at Stanford University have reconstructed this 3D model of how Joseph, the husband of Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ might have looked.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a @sketchfab 3D rendering of the actor Andre the Giant. The unsupported claim is that the image is from Stanford researchers and represents the Biblical Joseph, husband of Mary. sketchfab.com/3d-models/andr…

Dear @ABDanielleSmith - Vaccines saved millions of lives - Therapeutics WERE studied (#ivermectin ineffective) - Consensus (body of evid) is how science works Pls, for AB, climb out of rabbit hole. Don't inform policies with lies, myths, & misinformation. #DanielleSmithDarkAge

So, so disturbing. The distortion of reality. The soft embrace of conspiracy theories. The "I'm-not-going-to-listen-to-the-experts", Dunning-Kruger fuelled arrogance. The more you hear from #DanielleSmith, the more horrifying it becomes. #DanielleSmithDarkAge

Why do some politicians never mention the 45,662 Canadians who died of COVID? Or their families? As if they are not victims of the pandemic? Or the healthcare workers who worked over-time under brutal conditions and risked their own families health? 🤔
I wanted to clarify my comments at yesterday's press conference. Here is my full statement:

I did my first kickflip today since breaking my femur 7 months ago. It was difficult. It was painful. It was sloppy. It was [possibly] payback for me harassing strangers to do the same. But it was gratifying beyond words. Find your metaphorical kickflip and don’t quit on it.

Three CSSHL Western Championship division appearances and one banner win. Proud of our Mountaineers for laying it all out on the ice these last 2 weeks. Major props to our parents and student-athletes for creating an unreal atmosphere during our games! It was great to be back 🙌🏻

I’m the Mayor of Terry Fox’s hometown. He’s our city’s hero, national inspiration and an unifier. Whatever your cause, you don’t get to appropriate his legacy and you don’t touch his statue. Ever. This should be removed immediately. @ottawacity @JimWatsonOttawa

I have a degree in immunology from Cambridge, a medical degree from Oxford, and a master's in public health from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine… but "John52659143" on here just told me I know nothing about all three, so there's that.

I don't recall any health expert, scientist saying being vaccinated would mean you would NOT get Covid. They've said it will lessen your chances, & more importantly lessen your chances of getting seriously ill or dying. Yes, Omicron is challenging the first pt, but not the 2nd.
