Facts about BC's opioid crisis I didnt know:
-most people who died from toxic drug overdoses were men in trades
-most overdose deaths occurred in homes, not among the unhoused population
Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.
Because that's how "the machines are keeping them alive", Clay. Duh. 🙄
someone who has followers of whom the majority vote "no" to that question. 🙄😡
(that isn't a photo of him, by the way)
(As a child, I developed the idea that narhwals were extinct, because a narwhal skeleton was on displayed at Van Aquarium. I didn't learn otherwise until 1 of my kids informed me. I was in my 30s. 🥴)
There is no credible evidence that ivermectin has any impact as a cancer treatment.
If you choose to take it instead of undergoing standard treatment, you will die from your cancer.
0535...
Working a 12 hr night tonight. Remembering why I rarely work them nowadays. The whining came on just after 0300. I couldn't help it. Why am I awake?!?! (now 0422...time is dragging...)
So glad to see him safely harnessed and buckled in. ❤️
One of the reasons I no longer pick up sessional clinical teaching work. Always at least $10 less/hr, & often a lot more than that. (A friend taught in a BSN prog in Sask & got a "market top-up". In BC, only male-dominated trade instructors get that. 🤷♂️)
as a 5'4" (well, nearly) woman, I thought all women's shirts are made for a 5'10" woman! 🤷♂️
Wooot!

Oh, fuck. Probably.
Same. My eldest and I would have died.
Today's "Connections" informs me that rad, bad, fly, and wicked are "retro slang for cool". I am so retro that I have always used "cool" for cool. 🤷♂️👨🦳
I'm sorry about that. I shared that as further ammunition against the anti-vaxxer's "oh, it's just a normal childhood disease, my son was sick for a week and now he's fine" nonsense.
❤️
Even if someone survives polio without any ongoing issues, they may still develop post-polio syndrome decades later. I recently met a 80ish man who had had no chronic issues from his childhood polio, until 3 yrs ago. Now, he can hardly walk + is in constant pain, d/t post-polio syndrome.
One of the things I'm most proud of is that when my (then) husband and my son came home from Cub camp w Norovirus, and the infection control measures I implemented prevented anyone else from getting it (me/2 daughters). 🙂
I saw one yesterday! A young person, at the college. Yech.
Watching "Taggart" series 6 and being amazed at how young some of the guest actors look, because 1990 was only 15 or so years ago...🧑🦳
Sorry about your fingers, but where are the pics of the dog?
Well done, UK!

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones
If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines
At least 30% of people on Vancouver Island don't have a PCP and there are few WICs, most w short hours. So when an ER coworker says, "oh, ffs, why are they HERE for that?" (Rx, routine BW, etc), I respond with "where ELSE are they supposed to go?". 🤷♂️
Wow! Takes all kinds, as they say 😀.
Dr. Jen Gunter recently did a short video explaining just that - real board certification vs other nonsense.
42 miles = 68km! 😳
