Thank you. I hope your scans are good. It’s scary stuff. I have had to go to the ER in Toronto, St Mikes, on a weekend night. Crazy. And St Pauls in Vancouver. Staff are under such pressure but they were amazing and kind. I did send them an email. Having lived around the world for 30 years, we are lucky to have our system, under strain as it is. No one is turned away for not having money to pay. That’s amazing. We need to protect it. Be well.
As someone who did choose to waste their life in medical school ;-) I work in primary care/systems integration to try to help the ER in other ways, and this is a lovely article which I will definitely share. I was just talking to someone this morning about how much better it is to thank your family doctor for being awesome, rather than saying in desperation "please never retire", which feels like a lot of pressure these days.
