*yawn* Carney effectively delegates duties to ensure QP proceeds unfettered. Carneyโ€™s record speaks for itself and requires no โ€œdefending.โ€ You, however, should defend your colicky childโ€™s attitude while collecting $200,000.00 of our tax dollars to pretend at leadership.

The PM is providing Canadians with enormous value on his expenses. What are the CONs doing beyond burning through $200,000.00 per head for whining like colicky children and disparaging Canada to weaken our sovereignty?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Is the patient stable or unstable? Before making a diagnosis, look for red flags: Hypotension Tachycardia Fever/sepsis Guarding or rigidity GI bleed Altered mental status Severe dehydration These patients need resuscitation first, diagnosis second. Then localize the pain anatomically: ๐Ÿ“ RUQ โ†’ hepatobiliary causes Think cholecystitis, cholangitis, hepatitis ๐Ÿ“ Epigastric pain Think pancreatitis, peptic ulcer disease, even myocardial infarction ๐Ÿ“ RLQ pain Think appendicitis first, but never forget ectopic pregnancy or ovarian torsion in females ๐Ÿ“ LLQ pain Diverticulitis, colitis, renal stones ๐Ÿ“ Diffuse abdominal pain This is where dangerous diagnoses hide: Peritonitis Bowel obstruction Mesenteric ischemia DKA Severe gastroenteritis History matters more than most investigations: Sudden vs gradual onset Colicky vs constant pain Vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, jaundice, urinary symptoms Surgical history Drug history LMP/pregnancy possibility in females Examination should never be rushed: Distension Guarding Rigidity Rebound tenderness Hernias Bowel sounds PR exam when indicated And one important rule: Not all abdominal pain is abdominal pathology. MI, pneumonia, DKA, porphyria, hypercalcemia, and even sepsis can present primarily with abdominal pain. Basic investigations that save lives: CBC Electrolytes LFTs/RFTs Urinalysis Pregnancy test Lipase/amylase ECG Imaging depends on suspicion: Ultrasound โ†’ biliary/gynecologic pathology X-ray โ†’ obstruction/perforation CT abdomen โ†’ unclear acute abdomen The biggest mistake juniors make is trying to memorize hundreds of causes. Experienced clinicians do something simpler: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Rule out life threatening causes first ๐Ÿ‘‰ Localize the pain ๐Ÿ‘‰ Think systemically ๐Ÿ‘‰ Reassess repeatedly

lol... Canada is becoming the economic equivalent of Sweden as it emerges from this turbulent dynamic of global power restructuring, driven by the U.S. abdicating its leadership. People who understand wealth see massive opportunities. Those who donโ€™t panic like colicky children.

Colicky CONs; the whiniest and pettiest creatures on the planet are so pathetic that they cry about a guy doing his job by giving Canadians hope and results that include trade surpluses and economic growth, while including real investments in lowering their costs of living.

dood... nice selective editing, but I specifically cited membership advantages. You can invent whatever horseshit makes you feel better, but itโ€™s just the same disingenuous nonsense that a colicky child indulges in when demanding attention.
