- A parent unplugged our air purifier because it was too noisy and too “cold” adding that Covid was over. I tried explaining patiently but part of me, with no + patient tests for weeks, had me questioning my own resolve. And then today this 2 mo old baby struggling to breathe. 🦠
- There is no justifiable reason why a 15 yo with fever of 40°C and an intensely sore throat whose fully vaxxed mother developed post Covid tachycardia requiring medications should be denied a PCR test at the region’s testing centre. NO REASON.
- A mother who visited the ER for her wheezy, coughing , child asked about swabs. She was told it was unnecessary as “we are moving on”😶 He tested + in our office. As a kind reminder it is necessary as 📍40% of school kids are not fully vaccinated 📍100% under 5 yo are not
- To my partner’s parent who berated me in our waiting room , called me stupid in front of others and asked for one good reference that wearing masks were helpful after I asked her to please put her’s on, here are 413 references fully summarized for you. Hope you see this. 😷
- In pediatrics - when the mother tells you, with no objective findings, that something is not right. Believe her!What is a subtle sign that someone is sick?
- Just so everyone understands, there is nothing “mild” about a 1 week old being readmitted to hospital with high fevers and a positive test. ☹️
- Father: This is the only place where we have to wear masks . 😤 He just has a cold with fever!! 15 minutes later,…. Me: This is why we wear masks still and why we still test ⬇️
- Long lines at advanced polls on a Saturday. This is good ! Folks are fed up with the present government. #VoteFordOut
- Loving the proud dad look on @JustinTrudeau as his son confidently chats with none other than the US prez!
- My hospital is reporting it’s first death . My age, no travel, healthy. 😢You know it’s an eventuality but when it happens it’s like a punch in the gut. RIP stranger.😞
- So much inferred when your unvaccinated child gets measles and then you ignore quarantine directions and infect others in your affected child’s daycare. Not just horribly wrong on so many levels but evil.
- I spend hours listening to and treating others. I love what I do but sometimes it’s a heavy burden. So I listened to my friends and kids and got a dog. This 👇🏾 is what it is like.
- All the kids are coughing , so back to face shields.
