The six myths of ER crowding

Lost a good buddy from med school this week. Today would have been his 29th birthday. We’re raising some money in his honour — consider donating if you can!

Looking for content on Quality Improvement, Patient Safety and Innovation at #CAEP24? See below for a quick reference! Don’t forget to check out the many great posters, plenaries and other talks here in Saskatoon! @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference

Many families cannot afford diapers, formula, and/or wipes for their newborn children. Please join us in our first St Mikes ED Diaper, Formula, and Wipes drive! All donations go to Robertson House amazon.ca/registries/gl/gues… @UnityHealthTO

This feels like a direct violation of the Canada Health Act?? Not good.

One of the strongest @ChooseWiselyCA STARS cohorts I’ve ever seen! Pleasure to play a (very small) supportive role for this group 🙂 Now, if only I can learn how to get my “C” and “W” in the right order…

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many clinicians have transitioned to virtual care. Today's throwback post explores digital inequity and how vulnerable populations face greater challenges when accessing virtual care: canadiem.org/hiquips-virtual… By @AAckery @Tay1erYoung #MedEd
