Excited to announce that colleagues & I have identified a new #concussion sign that's been hiding in plain sight. We named it Spontaneous Headshake After a Kinematic Event, or SHAAKE. Seen in movies & cartoons, it hasn't been in protocols, but should be. usnews.com/news/health-news/…

Exertional heat stroke is one of three leading causes of death in high school sports in the U.S., according to the CEO of @K_S_Institute. Amid record-setting high temperatures, one New Jersey high school says preventing the heat illness is a top priority.

We are still in one of the deadliest months when it comes to heatstroke (July and August). Heat stroke is survivable if you identify it and treat it appropriately on site. Cool first, transport second should always be the rule.

National recommendations call for cooling heat stroke patients before transporting them to the hospital, but as @DavidSchechter found out, only 11 states require ambulance services to follow this life-saving protocol.

For the life of me I do not understand the select/club sports mindset. Why are we paying thousands of dollars to join clubs so kids can play on the bronze team, to travel to Topeka, to play another bronze team, to go 1-3, stay in a hotel, eat crappy food, while mom and dad bring the younger siblings along, just so they can end up fighting over who forgot to pack snacks for the kids. How about, you save the money, spend time with the family doing something fun, productive or educational, and play school or Rec ball. Your kid isn’t going to college on a scholarship or going to the Olympics. Most won’t even be playing the sport they are in after their sophomore year of high school. Just say no. You will thank me later.

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

There will be #cancer warning labels on alcoholic products in Ireland in 2026. Hopefully, 🇨🇦 will follow suit. Very few are aware of the causal link between alcohol consumption and 7 fatal cancers. Bill #S254 #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #FirstNations #EnableTheLabel

How about pay family physicians a proper wage and fill the unmatched spots first?

My foremost priority for my community was delivering on the need to bring better healthcare, closer to home. That is why I am thrilled that @fordnation & @PBethlenfalvy are investing to build a new Medical School with @YorkUniversity beside the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. The FIRST medical school in Canada primarily focused on training family doctors. A proud day for #TeamVaughan @MichaelTibollo & @laurasthornhill.

Right then here goes!!! So I’ve just received this evening notification of another 3 complaints sent to the HCPC about more so called unprofessional behaviour online that they are ‘investigating’ yet again! These complaints were all sent during the first week of my hearing in July and I think explains why my first hearing was postponed after 5 years of prolonged delays! So unfortunately I think I’m just about done with the profession right now, and think I will now voluntarily deregulate myself from the HCPC and physiotherapy! I just don’t think I can be bothered to fight anymore of these malicious and pathetic complaints from those I have criticised, offended, or upset in the past and deal with the HCPCs woeful drawn handling of them! It really is mentally fatiguing and exhausting! I also have a feeling that these complaints and investigations will never stop now unless I do this! So for my own mental and physical health, and to allow me to say what I want, how I want, including my critique and criticism of the dogma and outdated thinking and people in this profession, I think that I have no choice but to find another path that allows me to honestly and simply help those in pain and disability! It’s been a fun and emotional 20 year ride, and I hate the fact that I have to leave a profession I love and am passionate about under these circumstances! But life goes on! And to those that have submitted these complaints recently and in the past… Congrats… well played… you’ve got what you’ve wanted! But believe me… you haven’t won the fight, there are still many more rounds left in me and I hope you have the stamina for it… Because believe… I do! See you on the other side!
