| 1637513339181084672 | 39 year old Pennsylvania surgeon Dr.William George Wert died suddenly on March 9, 2023 He worked as a General Surgeon at Geisinger/St. Luke’s Hospital in Orwigsburg, PA. It's not just Canadian doctors, @CMA_Docs #Diedsuddenly #cdnpoli #ableg https://t.co/SODa7uVNly https://t.co/iRp9LdCJWg | 516 |
| 1637916221306974208 | Canadian doctors spend millions of hours on unnecessary paperwork each year: report https://t.co/50uw1VMTQn by @nicseg95 cc @CMA_Docs @KatharineSmart "...the equivalent of 55.6 million patient visits." Yes! My (amazing) partner is a physician. Every, single, night... paperwork. | 66 |
| 1636397225155915785 | Honoured to top @macleans 2023 health innovators list and grateful to our team @CMA_Docs who prioritize this advocacy. We can reverse the deterioration of HC systems if we rebuild HC around access for those who need it and enabling those who provide it. https://t.co/zRMFIxQRgv | 40 |
| 1638208858949578755 | We don't have enough family doctors in 🇨🇦, and the problem is even worse in smaller provinces. National licensure helps MDs go to places they're needed. @CMA_Docs’ recent poll showed 95% MDs agree. Together, let’s make it happen. https://t.co/zbdeoqCWWz | 31 |
| 1638556156367982592 | One medical license to practice anywhere in Canada is just part of the solution, but @CMA_Docs and I know it's an essential part. Read my explanation in the @nytimes. https://t.co/mOdiRzsyaX | 28 |
| 1638925713482063873 | It is totally unacceptable that this family had to pay $2,600 for timely access to an MRI for this medical condition. All necessary medical services be publicly funded @picardonhealth @globeandmail @CMA_Docs @SMA_docs @CarlaBeckSK @JeffWaltersSask @SKGov @PremierScottMoe https://t.co/lJE5UY5wgq | 24 |
| 1637723461253488641 | @picardonhealth @PierrePoilievre @CMA_Docs @ChristianPaas @CBCNews First of all, moving doctors or nurses from one province/territory to another doesn’t solve our medical crisis. He’d push for for-profit care. Also, take a closer look at how Polievre’s minions have relentlessly attacked doctors (especially women physicians) and nurses… | 22 |
| 1636741487328100353 | There’s no miracle cure to 🇨🇦’s #healthcare crisis, but there are ways we can stabilize the system and bring it back from the brink. Beyond funding, we also need to find better ways of doing health care - something we've been advocating for at @CMA_Docs. https://t.co/QG0nQfQsoS | 19 |
| 1639043505153613824 | I would like to see our specialist colleagues stand up and shout from the rooftops the value of primary care and encourage all medical students to seek out a career in primary care. @CFPC_e @OntarioCollege @CMA_Docs @OntariosDoctors https://t.co/1SnhqeQNIt | 17 |
| 1638679340618743810 | Calling all Canadian rural docs! Do you need some high volume ER for a month? A caseroom obs refresher? A month of addictions medicine training? This is an amazing initiative - funding for you, AND your locum! Brilliant! @OntariosDoctors @OntarioCollege @thenosm @CMA_Docs https://t.co/UScBdVG8ZH | 15 |
