This BC government has run out of money, and to compensate for this they have been rationing healthcare services.

BC is being called out for the least-transparent process in Canada for funding medications for rare diseases. Ottawa provides 194 million to fund rare diseases so where is that money going? People and children with rare diseases often have little options and a trial with…

Did you know that the NDP's change in policy for "safe supply" now called "prescribed alternatives" has been implemented for "new" patients only. Apparently if you were given a bottle of dilaudids to bring home you still can. One RCMP officer I was talking to the other day,…

NEW - 13 expert U.S. doctors in Batten Disease have written a joint letter to @Josie_Osborne @Dave_Eby saying gov is using the wrong scoring, science and evaluation to discontinue Brineura for Charleigh Pollock. Doctors from hospitals in New York, Columbus, Baltimore, Denver,…

Many people around BC have reached out to me to talk about hiring freezes and potential program cuts in healthcare affecting the frontlines. We are already in a system rationing care and further cuts will be disastrous in delivery of medical services. This will affect not only…

Why are they adding stuff that kills you to the illicit drug supply, like the "zombie drug" Xylazine - an animal tranquilizer? My patients used to ask me "Why are they trying to kill us?" Seems like a poor business model to me. Maybe we should remember where all the drugs and…
