#medsky charting challenge: replace “62 F, Ca pancreas” with “62 widowed F retired teacher, lives alone in bungalow w dog, SW w 3 adult kids nearby. New dx Ca Pancreas.” We bury the vital stuff in “Soc Hx” at the risk of reducing pts to diagnoses.

Private healthcare is class warfare. The wealthy receive platinum care. The middle class become indentured servants, relying on employers for their family's healthcare, while the poor are ignored, left to die, a warning to any who question the wisdom of the rich.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Studies indicate that scientists, particularly those in STEM fields, are more likely to have autistic traits than the general population. So it's more likely that autism caused vaccines, isn't it?

"We did buy a pipeline because we felt there was a need to still get Alberta's oil to market," McKenna says. "And what did we get? They did not live up to their end of the bargain under any stretch of the imagination."

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.

Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly?
What Alberta is proposing may sound good superficially, but it makes no sense in the Canadian context

This column elides and misidentifies root causes, and offers zero solutions other than what Barrie did in September (with no update on sustainability, funding, or even progress) and moving encampments (sure?). It sees a real and troubling problem and then fails to actually grapple with said problem.

It's so fucking easy to whine about the SYMPTOMS of these problems - WE CAN'T HAVE *ENCAMPMENTS* NEAR DAYCARES, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN??? - and then your lazy ass solution is "get rid of the encampments", as if that answers the Q: where are these people supposed to go?
