Heartbreaking to look up in the sky where I live in the US northeast and see a milky haze, as the ghosts of Alberta's forests pass overhead. Never forget that the oil and gas companies knew this would happen and decided it was acceptable.
Smoke from numerous fires in Alberta will stream down aloft starting Tuesday. Effects: 🔥Milky daytime skies 🔥 Colorful sunrise/sunsets After a late week front, there could also be a period of near surface smoke. You can monitor air quality at airnow.gov.

We are pushing the frontiers of spine surgery by doing less. Congrats @MichaelYangMD.
We just did 🇨🇦‘s first awake spine surgery @CalgarySpine in a patient too sick to undergo a GA. Couldn’t have done it without a great team @AHS_media @UCalgaryMed. Come hear about it at the Canadian Spine @spinecanada Meeting in Quebec City in March. Posted w/ permission.

In summary: (1) Family time is limited—cherish it. (2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones. (3) Partner time is significant—never settle. (4) Children time is precious—be present. (5) Coworker time is significant—find energy. (6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

When people report on how awful the state of healthcare is (emerg wait times, no ambulances, toilets in bedrooms), I can’t help taking it personally. And feeling so devastated for every provider and healthcare leader who is trying to provide the best with what little they have.

A common misperception about #psychologicalsafety is that it means lowering standards, giving up on #accountability, or "everyone being wrapped in cotton wool." I love a good 2 x 2 matrix... so here's mine, brought to life by @tnvora, #sketchnote artist supreme.

Was able to deliver gifted @devouryyc care packages to some well-deserving Unit staff today. Loved the heartfelt touch of thank-you cards from folks who donated the boxes. The cherry was this note: Same, CL; same.
