Your periodic reminder that a new centralized North Island hospital at Port Alice junction would solve emerg closures and staffing issues.

AI will never replace our amazing staff.
I was at a medical conference last week in Vancouver & stunned to learn many of my colleagues are replacing their medical office assistants with Artificial Intelligence.
@northislandchc.bsky.social we believe in community and the human connection

Here’s the thing:
In the exam room we are all human beings.
My privilege as a doctor is to be able to see beyond artificial distinctions of ‘identity politics’ that only serve to divide us.
Question those who seek to divide.
