Rural Ontario emerg docs, are you using the ED peer-to-peer service? I’ve called about 5 times and each time received friendly, helpful advice from someone who seems genuinely interested in helping me! Highly recommend!

One of my incredible co-residents wrote this piece- it is beautiful and heartbreaking and resonated deeply with me. It is a privilege to train with such talented physicians.

Hey Olivia Chow and City of Toronto it's time to open up additional warming centres. It's -18 with windchill. All warming centres are full. The only option we have is to discharge patients without a place to go to the street. That's not ok. This is inhumane. Do better.
