We were feeling nostalgic, so we wrote up a #CAEP23 post in review, with our perspective, things we've learned, and things we took home with us: emottawablog.com/2023/06/cae… Would love to hear YOUR highest yield pearls / memories!

⏰Countdown to CMPA at #CAEP23! Don’t miss this insightful session: Diagnostic dilemmas: Optimizing Patient Safety When Dealing With Uncertainty with CMPA’s @drshirleylee & @eileenb186, and #CMPACouncil member @jctangmd #MedTwitter #EmergencyMedicine #ptsafety @CAEP_Docs

I am utterly touched and humbled to have received the honorary doctorate degree (Doctor of Laws, honoris causa), from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador at their convocation yesterday. I am also speechless because the sentiment of profound gratitude, which is continuously twirling in the innermost layer of my heart, is beyond words. I'm equally honoured that there are people and their organizations who recognize the power of physical movement, value of bringing people together through art, need of building cross-cultural bridges, and importance of messages of joy, hope, and positivity for healing and growing. Lastly, I am delighted that the efforts to include the natural environment of the Yukon Territory, frozen/snowy landscapes of northern Canada, and frigid/subzero temperatures, which are usually backdrops/elements of my videos, also received deep appreciation. Thanks, @MemorialU, dear people of Newfoundland and Labrador, all Canadians, and the universe, for this pure love 🙏🏽❤️ #MUNgrad2023 #MUNgrad

It’s #NationalChildDay & I remind everyone that kids like Keira are being failed by family court & child protective services in 🇨🇦. Keira’s rights under UNCRC weren’t upheld & no one listened. We urge governments to take action to reform these systems that put kids in harms way.

No time to read the recent Double Defib article?! No problem, heres an infographic summarizing the @NEJM paper by @DrCheskes @IanR_Drennan @SMcLeod_SREMI @damon_scales @emergmatt @Rescudoc @vaillancourt_c nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJ… #FOAMed @CAEP_Docs @Ilcor_org @srrezaie @EMSwami

There are many respiratory viruses circulating in Canada now, including COVID, RSV & a growing burden of influenza. These are impacting all age groups & healthcare is stretched. Masking indoors & vaccination will help...COVID & influenza vaccines are free & widely available.

2/ And look at this curve of the number of paediatric hospitalizations (≤16 yrs), reported by the IMPACT network. Rates are "well above levels typical of this time of year." Ugh.
