If you are in Canada and expecting to go into labour anytime soon, please do NOT buy your own epidural catheters online! These kits are not authorized by Health Canada and will NOT be used, so don't waste your money. Anesthesia colleagues please retweet 🙏

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.
