it cannot be overstated never said enough in how lab technicians are unsung heroes in this pandemic. it’s also a terrible time be reminded with a lab system bursting at its seams that chronic underinvestment in public health infrastructure will swallow individual heroics whole.

So disappointed to see the updated eligible list still doesn't include imaging or lab techs - a destructive way to disenfranchise this essential group of HCWs. They are behind every test result for patients, including COVID. We exclude them and we demand more testing??

Today we celebrated our @SinaiHealth @UHN Microbiology team! 3.5M COVID tests performed by 378 individuals over the past 3 yrs on top of regular clinical service 🤯 Words are inadequate - just pure gratitude for this team 🙏 History was made, stories will be told for yrs to come

Cheers to all the little girls who dream big (including my own). You're going to do amazing things if you take risks, work hard and never let anyone limit you including yourself #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild

Day 7/7 #mylifeinpictures - my work wardrobe has been ditched in favour of jeans and leggings 😱. Keeping the heels though as a symbol that I'm still me despite my whole world being turned upside down. #heelsforever #feelingstrong #powershoes

Walked my daughter to school this morning for the first time in 4 yrs since her first day of kindergarten. Nourished my soul. Need to do this more often before she's old enough to walk alone. #warmheartcoldface 🥶 #walkntalk

Kiddo had an extraordinary #takeyourkidstoworkday thanks to my sis-in-law @JeanYip3 . He visited Parliament as her guest to experience an action-packed, day-in-the-life of a Federal MP, including a meetup with @JustinTrudeau 🤯🙏

RIP. Our Toronto Western Hospital Emergency Department CT scanner is being retired after 14 years of working 24/7 to triage and diagnose 20,000 patients each year. It has served us well. Excited for a new CT scanner to take us through the next decade.

Ended my day in a meeting with some of the finest docs and clinicians @UHN while managing dinner with my kiddos. Instead of being stressful, it was a happy collision point in my day. Blessed to work with remarkable, clinical colleagues...Happy #DoctorsDay . TY is not enough 🙏

The evolution of a broken leg: 6 months, 2 surgeries, 3 casts, crutches used for miles in 4 cities, dozens of clinic & rehab appointments. 🙏 To the village that saw him through: @NYGH_News Dr. Mastrogiacomo & teams, @UCC_Community teachers, @UHN colleagues and family & friends

Proud to see the @CancerCare_ON Lung Screening Program officially underway at @UHN . Regular lung screening can mean 20% less lung cancer deaths for those at high risk. Thank you to the multidisciplinary team and our program champions Shannon and Maria for making this happen!!

Love it or list it? We love it!! 😍 It's been 3 yrs in the making - like any home reno there's been trials & tribulations - but we finally completely redesigned and reno'ed our staff lounges for our Lab Med teams. They deserve nothing less 🙏 Here's the before & after for TW:

Today, I joined @HeidiSchmidtRad and @umtincka in sending joint letters advocating our government to reconsider this decision. MLTs, MLAs, MRTs and other diagnostic staff are critical to patient care and this pandemic. #pandemicpay #EssentialWorkers #HealthcareHeroes
