Please don’t get complacent this weekend. I know it will be hard, as this is really starting to settle in for many. Stay home. Slow down. Tidy up. Call an old friend, as they are hopefully home as well. Please behave as if you have the virus. So, be kind.

If current trends continue, within 2 weeks we will have 12,000 cases of #COVID19 in Canada and 3700 cases in Alberta. With 10% needing ICU care, that is well above the 300 ICU beds we currently have in the province.
This is not a joke. Stay home. The window to contain is closing

The most effective way for Albertans to #FlattenTheCurve is by taking a comprehensive, society-wide approach.
Not testing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not social distancing alone. All of them, together.

It's possible in the coming days that specialists may be called upon to help out our critical care colleagues, so I thought I'd share a few tips for my fellow ophthalmologists on how to manage a ventilator. Hope this helps...

Hoping that “because COVID” is the final winning argument that convinces my kids to use soap when they wash their hands (but not counting on it). ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻#WashYourHands #FlattenTheCurve

Question for nephrologists that add “avoid unnecessary nephrotoxins” to their AKI notes, do you also tell consultant not to jam that pen in their eye and not to mix bleach and ammonia cleaner?

There are 2 glucose reabsorbing transporters in the kidney: SGLT1 & SGLT2. SGLT2 comes first then SGLT1. Why? Because nephrology hates you.
