A critical element of maximizing everyone’s health is to keep & strengthen our publicly-funded health care system, ensuring zero private healthcare. Cheaper for everyone, short and long-term. Best for Canada. There is no case to be made that private is good if public is properly funded. #canpoli

This is especially true if a man is built like a threatened anteater. Miller has relatively narrow shoulders and wide hips, which means there's not much shape through the torso.

HYDRATION ADVICE from an archaeologist who works in intense heat: 1) Water isn't enough. You need electrolytes. Use liquid IV/ gatorade, premake a jug. 2) Set up phone reminders every 2-3 hours to drink 8oz, more if outside 3) Wake up and DRINK and have a glass before bed. You'll sleep better

I accidentally discovered the "cooling chair" when I was a student working in a hospital without AC. I'd fill big shallow bins from just the cold water tap and wheel them around on a cart, instructing the nurses to submerge their forearms. Worked amazingly well for cooling. Later I discovered:

I supplied a cooler of cold, wet face cloths to our son's baseball team during the highest heat days of the summer. Helped a lot!

It’s time to release this poem into the world. ——- Dragon(fly) Sure, I had been beaten down.    Everything had crumbled.   I had been betrayed.   Alone.  Working hard to even breathe.   Husk.   But. Not defeated. No.   Only I get to decide when I give up.

It's pretty tragic that the wet bulb conditions that can create these dangerous circumstances used to be basically unheard of except for in the tropics. ☹️

I wish environment Canada would switch over to wet bulb temperatures rather than reporting humidex. There's a weather event just about to happen in Montreal that could enter the danger zone with wet bulb temps.

This is my third day of iv ceftriaxone and this is the best I’ve felt in 3 weeks! And just like that, the original London recording of *Jesus Christ Superstar* is selected and a day of restrained activity begins. Let’s see what happens! (I promise I will pace myself!) ✨✨✨ 1/ (updates to come!)

This is a good chart: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A supply of clean, folded, wet face cloths kept in the fridge. Place one on the back of the neck, holding it with braced fingers, wrists flat against the outside surface. When it gets warm, unfold to expose the cool inside, refold, repeat.

Keeping in the fridge over night is a bonus.

Tour guides at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta used these on us. A God send in 38C weather.

This kind of simple spray bottle can save your life. When it’s super hot, in addition to staying out of the sun, drinking lots of water and avoiding strenuous activities, spraying yourself and others with water and fanning does a great job of cooling you down. At the World Youth Day 2002 in … 1/2

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Waiting in the ER (don’t worry I’m ok, was just with a friend) is a great way to see the consequences of policies that are designed to create cracks for people to fall through. Yesterday’s example: unhoused fellow with infection needs antibiotics but can’t afford them 1/

Back in the ED at Rockyview Gen. Hospital again. My eye infection had been gradually improving but worsened again over the past 48 hrs. Getting IV antibiotics now and waiting for repeat CT to rule out orbital cellulitis. Again today, by luck, waiting room empty and no one in line when I arrived. 1/

Congratulations Canada’s Men’s national soccer/football team!! So great to also be hearing Great Big Sea’s Ordinary Day blasting throughout the LA stadium as their victory song!!

In a new role I have, I try to say the official acronym in both English (NACPHS, which everyone pronounces “knack-fizz”) and French (CCNSPS, so I just say the letters but as “say-say-enn-ess-pay-ess”). On Friday, a francophone told me, “Waouh, you have a very good accent!” Milestone unlocked! 😃

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

This road is not closed. It’s only closed to cars. This may seem like a small thing, but it matters because this message tells the public that streets only belong to cars, and anything else is an aberration —even though these streets were here decades before the private automobile.

2 children in my community chose me as the first adult to come out to before they came out to their parents. It was an honor like no other. I feel sorry for people who will never understand this type of joy. (Their parents also reacted with acceptance & love. I wish all kids could have that.)

I’ve been thinking about people who get so mad about Pride. I feel sad for them. Because it means no one trusts them enough to reveal their joy to them. Have you ever seen the joy of a trans person being fully who they are? I have, in my clinic where we use her chosen name. And she smiles … 1/2

With the help of @donatemask.bsky.social many of my students have prevented COVID infections this past school year🙌

Thank you for the letter and caring for your patients. I shared your letter this morning w friends/family on FB/Instagram. So much education still reqd on the dangers of COVID infections for all age groups/health status. We are N95 all the way. 😷👍

With ⬆️shingles (Ref: Pan,Lee,Zambudiri, 2022), I want to reshare this no-meds option to ⬇️the pain of acute shingles. (It's a peer-reviewed case report, not a full-on study, but the intervention is pretty low risk: essentially sticky food-wrap.) Still get vaxxed tho link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking.” Essential info on Long COVID in children 🧒👧👦 Please read and print out 👇

Yep. Being the only masked person in an airport this week was diabolical. So much open mouth coughing happening.

Covid’s neurological effects are a major reason why I continue masking indoors and in crowds outdoors

The good news is that air cleaners, which could be widely used in indoor spaces, are effective at trapping many pathogens. The not-so-good news is that people aren’t using them enough. Clean water and clean air make for healthy people.

Back in 2023, 10% of Canadians had Covid 3.5 million people Of that 2 million still have long Covid of that 2 million about 1 million people have noticed no improvement in symptoms overtime some long viral disease go on for decades www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-00...

Very good you should also add on the statistics Canada study on long Covid from December 2023 It shows that the risk of a long Covid is not one in 10. I’s far worse it’s cumulative 14.6% first infection, by the third infection 38% have long Covid www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-00...

One infection. That's all it takes. For millions around the world, a single COVID infection led to symptoms that lasted months or years. Long COVID can affect the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, and more. (...)

Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. I survived lymphoma and I take an immunosuppressant for SLE, but my doctors believe I'm being overly cautious by wearing an N95, even in medical facilities (you know, where sick people go). Knowing there are doctors like you helps, even if you're far away.

You’ve done a wonderful job explaining what it all is and even how to wear masks since most people seem to still not understand how to wear them. I’d want to give this out everywhere
