This was scrawled outside of our offices this week. If the antisemites who did this think it will intimidate me and the journalists of The Free Press, they don’t know me, they don’t know us, and they have no idea what we stand for.

But we need EVERYONE to speak up to recognize that regardless of how you feel Israel should handle the incredibly horrifying attacks of Hamas on Israeli civilians, and the hostages that are still being held, there is NO EXCUSE, for targeting Jews… 4/6

including Jewish run establishments, Jewish daycares/schools and Jewish places of worship (which to be clear, is happening with an alarmingly increase in frequency all over the world, including right here at home in Toronto). 5/6

The only word for that is antisemitism. I would not tolerate this level of violence or hate speech on any other ethnicity/religion and you should not tolerate it or stay silent when it is happening towards Jews. 6/6

Lost a patient in the CICU tonight; she had a massive pulmonary embolism. Code Blue & resuscitation attempts lasted over 2 hours. She had a history of DVT and was supposed to be on anti-coagulation but hadn’t received her meds “for months” because of insurance authorization.

Congratulations Douglas Lee on being the recipient of the CCS Research Achievement Award ! A phenomenal, leading tireless scientist, who is truly deserving of this recognition. Thank you for being an outstanding mentor, you make us all very proud ! Peter Munk Cardiac Centre

Congratulations to Douglas Lee, this award is exceptionally well deserved!!

Congratulations!

Jews make up 1.4% of the Canadian population. Jews standing up against Jew hatred will not be enough. The Jew hunting in Russia may seem far away, but we have seen this happen before. Now is the time for non-Jews to stand up against Jew hatred. We need you.

“Police say 2 Jewish schools in Montreal hit by bullets overnight” montreal.ctvnews.ca/mobile/police-…

Today, Canada is confronting a horrifying rise in anti-Semitism with violent attacks on Jewish communities in Montreal. Hate has no place in Canada. Kristallnacht was a violent pogrom against Jewish communities and it's a stark reminder of the horrors of unchecked hatred.

People don't talk about Occam's razor in the hospital nearly as much as the medical shows led me to believe

Every day in medicine gives me new hope in our ability to make flowcharts.

Reading through the guidelines and couldn't help but think of Dr. Glaucomflecken

Happy Passover <3
