@philbobawsky My thoughts and prayers go out to Phil and family. Phil taught us all how to be better people. He taught us to question life in a different way and a better way at that. I will miss his calls just to chat and about ways we can work together to improve health care. Thank you Phil!

@karenboydrd @CaulfieldTim @DietitiansCAN I tend to disagree with this statement. Healthy foods cost less than unhealthy fast foods and many other non nutritious foods. Vegetables and fruits are still relatively affordable.

Only available in the US? Pity... A new wave of genetic-based cancer treatments can cost close to $1 million per patient for drugs and related care—and no one has figured out exactly how to pay for it via @WSJ

My wife had emergency Hernia surgery at FMC today. She was scheduled at 3 am for E12 (under 12 hours ). Surgery started within 10 hours. Good Wait Time and in window! It’s all not as bad as the media might present. Thanks AHS @canadiansurgeon @Pts4Chg @tjhockeymom @slitvinch1
