Emergency Physician, (he/him), public health advocate, you have to kick in the darkness until it bleeds daylight…tweets representing NO ONE but me
Interesting, typical government bs slowly making a healthcare model in which money talks. It’s like the spinal assessment programs $300 to be assessed by a chiropractor or physiotherapist ( no disrespect to these professionals) before seeing a physician.
Hmmmm.... - Having to pay out of pocket for a for-profit "navigator"? - Having to use only one app controlled by one company with all of your private data? - Is this true? - Could turn into only care for those w money??? Concerning... buff.ly/fxDmTqb
Bingo. No one is coming to save you except you. But if everyone does it together… That’s the last thing the UCP want to see. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Someone commented: “Someone has to stop this!” No one is coming to save us. WE have to stop this. So put on your cape, bring your super power (we all have one) and join over 5000 Albertans, working together to democratically oust the UCP NOW. JOIN: abresistance.ca
Look, we're not saying that we just posted an absolute firecracker of an episode with independent Battle River - Crowfoot byelection candidate for our Patreon supporters... But for the rest of you, you aren't going to want to miss Sunday's show! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From the DM’s… Because of the unchecked spread of measles across Alberta, children attending appointments at the Stollery are only allowed to have one parent attend with them. Danielle Smith’s healthcare. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Dr. Parks raises some interesting points with the Alberta government’s current use of CSFs (Chartered Surgical Facilities) in Alberta. If they are going to co-exist with AHS, some serious oversight is required. Thread by @PfParks on Thread Reader App threadreaderapp.com/thread/1948156…
The Red Deer Advocate reported that Alberta was sitting on the highest amount of unallocated transfer HC funds. WHERE DID OUR FUNDING GO?
$70 Billion in Health Transfers are NOT being spent on Healthcare by Provinces So where did that $70 Billion go? Please retweet & share #cdnpoli
The UCP under Danielle Smith: – Cut healthcare – Muzzled scientists – Attacked teachers – Fought with doctors – Obsessed over pronouns But hey, she lowered corporate taxes!🤦 #ableg
That stood out to me early on - are nonexistent days being paid for, or is LOS higher than it needs to be clinically? Both a concern for cost and flow.
