In 2019, I was a CVICU patient in cardiogenic shock due to fam cardiomyopathy. Had to get a heart transplant! This week, I’m a doctor in a CVICU. Got my Crit Care Medicine #fellowship diploma, & have a few shifts left. 🥹 Huge thank you to my #organdonor for this. #donatelife

Now THIS is the Canada I know. Amazing to see.
After a very challenging few days, we just want to say a big thank you. Please note we are at capacity for food donations and don't have room for any more. Thank you to everyone who has supported people experiencing homelessness. Your generosity warms our hearts.

Proud to announce the publication of CAPITAL DOREMI in @NEJM - a comparison of milrinone and dobutamine in cardiogenic shock. Contrary to the hypothesis milrinone was not superior to dobutamine in this randomized double blind comparison. https://t.co/XUz7fCR2GG

Breaking results: >10% of patients with subsegmental PE have DVT on ultrasound either at baseline or repeat ultrasound a week later. Be wary of witholding anticoagulation for subsegmental PE without negative serial ultrasound. #ISTH2021 @CAEP_Docs

Urgent!! Time is now to vaccinate #pregnant people for #COVID19. VOCs have created new epidemic. Never seen so many pregnancies in ICU intubated. It is terrifying and heart breaking. @BORNOntario @OMNI_Obstetrics @DarineElChaarMD
The SOGC calls on the Ontario government and all other provinces to immediately prioritize COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women. @fordnation @celliottability @OntarioHealthOH @ONgov @stevendelDuca @andreahorwath @jkenney @jjhorgan
