The person responsible will face consequences; if not from the employer, from unseen forces. Prayers for all involved❤️

You can’t pay me enough to sell out to the system… #indigenous #nativesky #sovereignty do you have a price to assimilate?
I am no longer shocked by the way Indigenous women are treated by colonial systems. This is wild…
After years of the families pushing for action, the landfill search for the remains of two First Nation women who were killed by a Winnipeg serial killer began on Monday.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew spoke to media about the search.
How many Indigenous people have been killed by police this year?
The answer is TOO MANY
In addition to making current healthcare spaces safe for the First People’s of these lands, can federal and provincial governments support establishment of a sovereign health system? Is anyone working towards this?
I realize this is not possible in many circumstances. Do you have a unhoused relative? Would you consider housing them?
When I consider the homelessness crisis, my first thought is: all of these people are relatives. Personally, if I had a sister, brother, aunt ,uncle, cousin, parent or child who was homeless, I would be looking for them and offering them shelter.
Go find your relatives and bring them home.

Through this program minimally qualified social workers can charge 185$ /hr to provide therapeutic listening to status FN people. Many are profiting off of our illness.
If I spend 1 hour counselling a status FN patient, I can make about 35$
Couches with big cushions to sink into, a home with heat at the push of a button, my health….
I am still figuring out this app but I am a woman in medicine:) that is a fact
I don’t know, I don’t have many doctors in my circle. I would never leave medicine, it’s about practicing medicine in a way that serves everyone well. There is a path forward and we need the creative minds to help navigate those who have lost their way back to the light.
This always seemed so common sense to me, then again, I do it so often I am losing my medical jargon.
A woman’s leg was just amputated in an academic tertiary care centre because of racism. I didn’t have time to intervene because she was referred to me on a Friday afternoon and by Sunday night it was already done. I know based on clinical evidence her wound would have healed. What to do?
9) there is so much change that needs to happen to lower the rate of lower limb amputations in Ontario both on provider and patient sides. This thread focused on provider info. Thanks
8) some surgeons will even Coerce patients to amputation out of a biased belief that the patient is never going to heal which is not actually based on physical evidence. A covert act of racism.
7) if your diabetic foot ulcer patients are people of colour or from oppressed communities, all of this is amplified due to racism and they are much more likely to progress to amputation whether they need it or not
6)I even suggest encouraging direct communication between the nurses and yourself (although agencies have policies to prevent this from happening)
5) it’s best if you get wound care training and with each referral to OHAH attach an extra document with very specific details and I mean step by step details and specific dressing you want for an untrained nurse to be able to follow like an instruction manual, as well as a list of supplies.
4/ You need to have eyes on these wounds minimum weekly even if home care is in place. If you yourself have no extra wound care training, get it, or send all of your patients to a wound care specialist.
3/ the ET nurse or NSWOC might not see your patient for weeks after referral and even then, they could be fresh out of training and not have the confidence they need to sharp debride appropriately.
2/They will quickly change a dressing. That’s all.
Sometimes they won’t even wash the surrounding tissue. Due to pressures not to waste supplies, they might not use enough tape to keep a dressing in place for 20 minutes after they have left.
1/Most of the nursing staff that will be doing dressing changes do not know anything about wounds, they will not communicate with you when a wound is deteriorating or changing. Even when a wound becomes necrotic, no one will tell you.
To all family docs in Ontario-
If you refer a diabetic wound to OHAH for nursing care (wound care) please be aware of several things: a thread🧵
I spend my time using my gifts to the best of my ability; in pursuit of finding the moments of joy in the practice of medicine; Endlessly curious about the body-mind-spirit connection and how to optimize oneself or simply be at peace.
