Healthcare workers of various types are in short supply in Canada. It’s a key reason why we have backlogs in care. Lots of jobs. The province of BC on the west coast has made it much easier for healthcare workers from the US to move there. Other provinces are working on shortening the process too.
Heard about this source helping Americans learn more about moving to Vancouver Island. There was a great show on CBC Radio’s programme White Coat, Black Art hosted by Dr. Brian Goldman on this topic, interviewing the Maffins who created helpful info and sources.
There is also a group on Discord with discussions and where questions can be answered, also started by the Maffins.

We often describe the epidemiological transition as a shift from infectious diseases to #NCDs. This analysis suggests a more useful framing: increasing returns to preventing, delaying and managing ageing-related #diseases

Do inpatient Geriatrics models actually improve care for older adults?
In 28,833 hospital encounters, ACE Units & Geriatrics Consults raised adherence to the 4Ms framework vs. usual care. But effects on outcomes were mixed. Consults alone linked to fewer 30-day readmissions, while ACE+Consult tied to more. Only ACE units with high adherence shortened stays.
Better adherence ≠ uniformly better outcomes. #Implementation matters.

Growing role of #AI as a source of emotional support

1. During the day, close any blinds & curtains that face the sun.
2. If u can, use electric fans, but don't point them directly at urself as this can cause dehydration.
3. Turn off any lights & electrical equipment that ur not using. If possible, cook at cooler times of the day.
4. When the air outside feels cooler then inside, open some windows to help create some airflow in ur home. #heat #heatwave #summer #health #healthcare #healthtips #MedMastodon

I've seen many stories like this over the years from folks with ME/CFS - they get a cancer diagnosis & are shocked by the different treatment from doctors and nurses.
This story's about someone with Long Covid, but it's very similar.

Heads up for those brave folks who are trying to download and save information from US government websites - the NIH has announced changes to their websites.
No idea whether this means data will be deleted or just rearranged but I thought I'd post about it here.

If you have vision problems and are in #Canada, Fighting Blindness Canada is having a series of in-person Coffee Connections across the country. Each will have an eye doctor who will lead discussions and answer questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or an inherited retinal disease (IRD). It also gives you a chance to meet others with the same eye conditions.
Here are details so you can see if there is one coming up in your area.#health #medical #vision #ophthalmology #medmastodon

A really good explanation of cyclosporiasis, the current outbreak, and why pinning down the source is so hard.
Advise too.
"Yes, washing your produce takes care of most of it. But that is not likely to remove all #Cyclospora Cooking is what we need to do. Cook your food, people. I, for one, can do without fresh salads until this particular emergency is over. (This is just me being me, and not an official public health recommendation.)" -- By @deonandan -

As a GP in Germany, I struggle with the claim that “people don’t want to work.” In daily practice, I see the opposite: many patients push themselves to keep working, even when they should rest. They worry about burdening colleagues, unfinished tasks, or upcoming deadlines.
If we want to understand rising sick leave, we need to look at real factors: increasing workload, constant pressure, lack of recovery time, social isolation, and overall exhaustion. Reducing this to a question of “motivation” ignores both evidence and lived experience.
In my experience, people who genuinely try to avoid work are a tiny minority. Framing the issue this way feels similar to old narratives about unemployment—oversimplified, misleading, and disconnected from reality.

Read this important statement from the American Association for #Cancer Research (AACR). There are sweeping new rules from the US government that presents even greater threats to health and medical research. It will impact the global health and medical research community.
Reading the statement you'll see that the rules will quickly hobble the ability to move knowledge forward; will lower the quality of science; severely restrict the ability to do international collaborations; muzzle researchers in terms of what they can publish or present; prevent studies from looking at health/treatment effects in different populations; prevent studies from investigating why some populations have different health patterns and outcomes; allows for greater uncertainty in continuity of funding (a huge problem in multi-year studies), and generally will have a negative impact on clinical practice and human health. And more.
The US traditionally has been one of the leaders in quality research. Lessons learned from studies are taken into account with respect to clinical practice globally. The ability to study different populations teaches us how different genetics, lifestyles, environments and more affect health and outcomes. The new rules will severely lower the standards and quality of research.
This may need official responses from the international community.

CW: Alcohol (drinking rates are shrinking in Canada!)
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, this is great news. There are so many more options other than soda or water these days if I want something celebratory.
Bye bye booze? Alcohol consumption hits 20 year low, as non-alc options soar: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/bye-bye-booze-alcohol-consumption-hits-20-year-low-9.7250994
