I’m so over the persistent mindset of the medical comm’y not wanting to “panic” patients/the public when it comes to health concerns/threats.
Have you ever seen a woman manage stressful situations? Those are our wheelhouse!
Give us the info until WE decide it’s too much.

Wharton Willie dying in his sleep after predicting an early spring is the most suspicious thing we've heard all year.
This junk isn’t even behind a paywall. It’s so disappointing that @utoronto.ca and @cmaj.ca can’t be bothered to identify this as an huge error and retract it. As long as it stands it will continue to kill young women. www.researchgate.net/publication/...
It boggles the mind that this has not been retracted. This is Wakefield level incompetence or fraud at this point. So many young women, dead from a treatable cancer every year in Canada because of the gatekeeping of mammograms that started with this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...
It doesn’t matter if your colleagues are friendly and you respect some aspects of their work. If they are failing when it comes to correcting errors and retracting bad papers and guidance they are likely doing more harm than good.
I don’t understand why few doctors and scientists confront the misinformation from within institutions we’re meant to trust.
The misinformation that harmed my own health was from a health Canada task force. That the harm of worry from a biopsy that may have turned out to be nothing would be worse than the harm of a late breast cancer diagnosis.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about COVID. We like to pretend that it's only uneducated people who fall for it, but initial "inside the house" misinfo around the denial of aerosol transmission is now motivating minimization of the consequences of that error.

One of the examples he works through is why the Canadian task force got breast cancer screening guidelines wrong for women in their 40s and why they are so hard to fix. bsky.app/profile/path...
You did a great job on this. Clear, accurate, accessible and friendly. I think this kind of communication will help people who really need this information.

Grateful to have access to high quality #cancerScreening. Early detection saves lives.
🧠 Know your family history.
🧠 Know your breast density.
🧠 Know your risk.
Ooh this is so interesting, I’m listening to Paris talk radio now.
How am I just learning about this website now? This is insanely fun. You can just click around the world hearing different live radio streams.

It seems strange to me that they wish to expand when the UP Express probably makes YYZ more convenient than YTZ for most people. Billy Bishop is a neat experience and provides cool views but Pearson seems like it has enough capacity for jets.
The best curling shot I've ever seen!
😅
Last days of this… it’s really good. www.gallery.ca/whats-on/exh...
This is what we need right now. Political leaders with a combination of solid principles and moral courage.
Ah ok!
Night shifts are supposed to be really hard on people. I guess it’s validating to know that your struggles with sleep have an explanation, especially if it’s actionable for you (like if you can adjust your work schedule permanently)
I just saw a pic of the temporary bleachers at BMO field and… are they even serious? www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...
The news came out here while she was answering questions in a press conference, someone linked the live feed and it was so weird.
This seems helpful. You can even stream news from around the world from within the app to dive deeper when something is happening. I put a shortcut on my home screen to keep trying it out. www.worldmonitor.app
Oh wow, I slept so well. When you’re out of shape you can get those long run benefits from a silly little jog.
I just emailed @mayoroliviachow.ca and my councillor. Not addressing things like this makes me wonder about her leadership.
Toronto is weird because it’s mostly just enforcing rules made up by fun police types who lived 100+ years ago.
Oh yes definitely not perfect but I was able to pick my way through. The good news is that I’m really really slow!
I’ve gotten soft and don’t jog when the sidewalks are slippery but we’re back in business now, on track to do 3 little runs this week! 🥳
They installed new fences at the high park off leash and there are a lot of dogs here today using them as a fun obstacle course. They can go anywhere but their dog walkers are stuck behind a fence. 🤣😂🤣
Lucky for me mine is a rule follower. 😇
Yikes. It's really disappointing to see this stuff, especially the response. Nobody ever seems outraged or even surprised.
