Looks pretty cool when looked at with proper glasses. I’m a little concerned however as to how many patients I will be seeing tomorrow with eye complaints. Be careful out there! #Eclipse2024

This is @TJOshie77 of the @Capitals wearing a neck guard. There’s just too much air between the guard and the angle of his jaw. We need a better design if guards are to be effective and not just give a false sense of security. #NHL @spittinchiclets

Such a tragedy & such a rare event. While some may call for mandatory neck protectors as a result of this, I don’t think they’re warranted. Frankly the ones available would be unlikely to prevent many such injuries from happening. #NHL #penguins #Habs

Great MDs are not made only of those who got straight A’s in physics & calculus. We should credential the many worthy Canadian students studying in Irish & other Non NA Med schools. Opinion: This is why you don’t have a family doctor /via @globeandmail

The process of becoming a doctor in Canada is complex, and the absence of consolidated oversight makes it difficult to reform

...our higher risk from direct pt care. (I did feel at that time I was safer in hospital than out due to PPE.) - however no excess deaths after Apr '21 after intro of #COVID vax. (Further proving the obvious that the vax is a net reducer of excess deaths in a heavily vax'd pop)

Where did #SARSCoV2 come from? Nature, vs the lab? I still favour the former. The “evidence” for a lab leak is purely circumstantial but it’s interesting hearing both takes, when done in good faith, by credible individuals. https://t.co/0fiRtfRAta

Love your stuff @EricEngels but this is kinda unnecessary. Always easy in retrospect what shoulda been done. You’re assuming medicine is black & white when often there’s a lotta grey. Symptoms apparently got worse with time so easier to make decision now. https://t.co/jTQk9yAMtc
