Outstanding thread by Yael Moussadji, MD, FRCPC. Fear is divisive. Fear closes people off & restricts trusting collaboration that is essential for quality in care. Competition leads to cherry picking & complexity avoidance (read the evidence on cataracts & CSFs). This UCP tactic will kill us.
It was then that as a member of the executive team of the Saskatchewan Health Authority, I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Verna Yiu (she/her) who made us all jealous recounting the lack of political interference from Sarah Hoffman and the autonomy she had to lead.
We have a major language problem here. #Healthcare is a complex experience that is administered as a public service. Care tho, NOT a "service". When Danielle Smith understands that, I hope she will stop this thinking about transplants & neonatal care like oil changes.
My daughter found our old Woody doll when she moving. Barney is in love with him. We believe he thinks it is a William Ghali action figure. Not gonna burst this love bubble ❤️
Any one talking #healthcare right now needs to read this Carolyn Thomas ☮️ essay on hospital philanthropy. Well funded systems should not require donor $$ & sure as hell shouldn't be pressuring patients to give. #healthcare is a human right. myheartsisters.org/2024/09/01/top… via Carolyn Thomas ☮️
