Thank you @CAEP_Docs for your advocacy.
We need change in our hospitals. No one should be going to work afraid.
@HealthNS @TimHoustonNS what is your plan?
Our thoughts are with our colleagues at the QEII in Halifax.
Violence has no place in the Emergency Department.

Sadly many will interpret the headline as yet more evidence in support of the myth that ER crowding and prolonged waits for emergency care are on the basis of inappropriate use by patients with non-urgent problems and that the solution is more family doctors. Both wrong!
Family doctors could handle nearly 15% of emergency room visits in Canada, report finds
by @kellygrant1 for @globeandmail who spoke to Dr. Catherine Varner, emergency physician and @CMAJ Deputy Editor about this @CIHI_ICIS report.

Well actually, gentlemen, the reason Canadian ERs are crowded is because of a lack of hospital beds - nothing to do with the number of doctors and most certainly nothing to do with non-urgent medical problems.
We don't have enough doctors, Daniel - full stop. Former Bingo callers giving any Premier a pass because not everyone in the ER is a life and death situation, is of zero service to the community. Ass kissing does not = public service.

Thrilled to see our work published in the January 2024 issue of @CJSMonline
We have been working with @DalFootballClub players since 2019 to unravel the connections between head impacts, MRI imaging findings, and concussion diagnosis.

The use of impact-detecting helmet technology has allowed us to better protect our players as a medical staff, in addition to gaining important insights on impact patterns and their association with clinically diagnosed concussion.

Critical conditions in Canadian emergency departments are due to a lack of human resources and timely access to hospital beds. caep.ca/wp-content/uploads/2…
