Dr. Nancy Olivieri David Moscrop 🇨🇦...'Boasting of the world's highest assisted death rates...' just reading this freezes my heart.
Agreed, there is no world in which our #MAID can be understood, ethically.

The cases have (at least) one thread joining them:
'The tendency of corporate structures to consider institutional legal liability and public reputation to be more important than the truth.'🎯Harold Levy

Contemporaneously: the deferiprone scandal and the protection of Gideon Koren which laid the scene for the #Motherisk  tragedy.

Lisa's death was followed closely and on the same hospital ward as that of teenager Sanchia Bulgin, a death which was not a simple a surgical 'mishap.'

Every time I read about assisted suicide in Canada, I'm more shocked. This is one issue I definitely got wrong (and disability rights activists were right about). jacobin.com/2024/05/canada…

It turns out that if you don't call in anti-terror cops to beat, detain, and arrest your students, you can actually avoid escalating violence and chaos, and becoming headline news across the globe, and actually have a productive discussion with demonstrators on your campus.

Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body.
SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand.
One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

Switching away from Shoppers? Here’s how:

Call/visit the new pharmacy. They’ll get some personal info and the phone number of your current pharmacy. They contact your old place and switch everything over.

Easy peasy, Jenny Lee Shee!

Wait.

Treatment-induced suicide may be the most common preventable cause of suicide deaths.

Here’s a strategy for reducing the risk.

When hospitals commit 'homicide' on a child, something is seriously wrong with our health care system. And no, privatization will not help. It will make things worse.

We must do everything possible to avert an entirely preventable, human-made famine in Gaza.

I again call on the Israeli authorities to allow & facilitate safe, rapid & unimpeded access for humanitarian aid & humanitarian workers, including UNRWA.
