Hypocritical, considering @WabanoHealth is unenrolling Indigenous clients from their clinic who are actively in the process of reclaiming status or membership. nationalobserver.com/2022/10…

Wabano has no moral high ground in pretend it protects Indigenous persons and their health any better than the settlers.
But you should know better. Taking away a doctor providing active care and follow up is despicable, when your patients have no way to get their status faster.

Indigenous Service's Canada's website still claims a processing time of 1 year, or 2 years for complex cases. If this was ever accurate, it hasn't been since COVID. My friend's application took 6 years to be approved.
Don't pretend you're better.
Do better.
Be better.

So just to recap:
- kids getting hit with RSV & other viruses hard
- no public health push for flu or covid vaccines from govt
- no public health push for masking indoors in public spaces
- no fever & pain meds
- ERs pushed past capacity
- major shortage of amoxicillin
Cool

“[They] offered teenagers natural-high alternatives to drugs and crime. [...] We didn’t say to them, you’re coming in for treatment. We said, we’ll teach you anything you want to learn: music, dance, hip hop, art, martial arts...”

Curfews, sports, and understanding kids’ brain chemistry have all helped dramatically curb substance abuse in Iceland. trl.ca/2v0

The anecdotes of sudden death in young- mid age adults is like nothing I’ve seen in my career as a cardiologist.
At what point does “anecdotal” evidence translate into urgent investigation & consensus documents to empower us to prevent these terrible outcomes?

I know you are tired
of being reminded
that the pandemic has not ended
but please understand
many of us are tired
of having to keep reminding you.
