Huh?
It’s on full display at every presser Eby is involved with

🌱Alex Nataros MD❤️‍🩹 @alexnatarosmd.bsky.social · 20d

Respectfully @maxfawcett.bsky.social you’re not correct in your view of Eby - he has repeatedly played the victim card and blamed Ottawa / Trump for any number of issues within his purview/responsibility

Arriving at @doctorsofbc.bsky.social for my first in-person @bcfamilydocs.bsky.social Board Meeting.

Our BC healthcare system is collapsing.

We urgently need to scale up the good work done on the Longitudinal Family Physician (LFP) Payment model #BCPoli

I remember first learning of Jane Goodall as a child, and become obsessed with her work. Then, as a university anthropology undergrad, I got to go deep into her world via formal study. She has always been a wise observer and advocate for an ethical world. RIP to a great woman.

Dr. Rita McCracken, MD PhD🇨🇦 @ritamc.bsky.social · Sep 26

I wonder what the “success outcome” is for these sites?

How will we know they are “working” and not just imprisoning people for a medical condition?

I am very, very worried about the path these involuntary care sites are taking us, & wish the funds were going to supported housing instead.

Justin McElroy 🇨🇦 @jmcelroy.bsky.social · Sep 26

B.C. Premier David Eby has just announced the creation of two more involuntarily care sites: one in Prince George and one in Surrey.

This will double the number of sites in the province, and Eby said his goal is to have them in every region of the province.

Full circle ⭕️
Early this morning I joined the AGM @cpsbc.bsky.social which held a moment of silence for my late grandmother dermatologist Dr. Margaret Johnston.. later this morning at @northislandchc.bsky.social, I taught our @ubcmedicine.bsky.social medical student how to use my GMa ‘wood’s lamp’
