Omg I canāt handle these different angles. The security guardās laser focus on his target. Adamās commitment to the giant bottle of champagne. So many things to take in with every new POV šš

Since @adriandix became MOH, total annual health budget has grown by $8B.
$1B of that is head-office admin in MOH/health authorities (bureaucrats). Up 59%. Well-outpacing e.g. MSP payments (up 37%).
Health system is far worse now. Good ROI? Good use of tax $$$? Good managment?

I am in Denmark. Same population as BC. All public insured. If you cannot get a procedure done in four weeks in a public hospital, it immediately goes to the private hospital. There are 20 and they are free. Cancer treatment is two weeks from diagnosis. I politician fail.#bcpoli

I was CBCās Ottawa Bureau Chief for several years during Liberal and Conservative governments. Only once did the govāt try to affect our political coverage. That was when CPC PM Harperās staff met with me and asked that a CBC reporter be reassigned. I said no. End of story.

Modernizing BC's hospitals from što digital is a no-brainer but it's not going smoothly
Staff are spending more time w clunky software & there are glitches
And the 2 biggest health authorities aren't even using the same system š¤Ø

Note to future generations: We had the tools needed to mitigate a virus that maims kids for life, but those in power chose not to use them.

My 7yo just curled up in my bed and said, "Mommy, do your ears sometimes ring 'weally' loud but the sound hurts? It's making me feel spinny"
Just a reminder that kids, especially small kids, sometimes don't realize their Long Covid symptoms aren't normal.

So is BC still much more Paxlovid miserly by hoarding this potential life-saver than other NA health jurisdictions; and if so, why, since most PH experts believe it shld be used liberally in high-risk

But no n BC
Question for Eby, Dix: Why do BC high-risk get less protection against bad outcomes than high-risk in QC, ON, elsewhere?
"In recent months, more provinces have begun allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense Paxlovid"

This sort of thing almost always goes unchallenged, but so far as I know, there is simply no data to support Dr. Henry's statement that 1 dose of Pfizer's pediatric Covid vaccine "offers good protection" against Omicron.

Workplace issues in our healthcare system continue and they're not going to help already-low morale or patient care
Days after criticizing his employer @alexnatarosMD has been disciplined, while 7/8 ICU doctors in PG have resigned
