Who’s the boss?

Dr. Braden Manns looks at the idea of boss with respect to physicians and what it can mean to patients.

@bradenmannsyyc

Who’s the Boss? Is your doctor in charge of your health care? Are you? Who really has oversight and accountability into the care you receive? Part 3 of my series on physicians looks at accountability and quality oversight in the system…and it’s more limited than we all might expect! Learn more on my substack.

Question from The Gritty Nurse

“Experts have already proven that dual-tier systems don’t fix wait times; they just prioritize profit over people. Why are we following like sheep when we should be leading the world in public health?”

@thegrittynursepodcast

Danielle Smith is leading Alberta into a den of hungry wolves. 🐺💔 While the US faces a massive healthcare brain drain and a collapse of institutional trust, the UCP is trying to import that exact failing model to Alberta. 🏥📉 This isn’t “innovation”—it’s the “Maple MAGA” agenda in full swing. Experts have already proven that dual-tier systems don’t fix wait times; they just prioritize profit over people. Why are we following like sheep when we should be leading the world in public health? 🇨🇦✨ It’s time to stop the greed and start investing in our communities again. Share this to spread the truth. #Alberta #DanielleSmith #healthcare #public #peopleoverprofit

Healthcare Systems Impact Patient Outcomes?

In the video below, Dr. Anderson explores how healthcare system issues can impact patient outcomes.

@drweedmom

There are many things contributing to the high mortality and morbidity of patients lately. Logistics is huge. When we have no ambulances and no ability to transfer, patients die. Patients end up, waiting due to minimal trucks. We use RCMP to transfer patients long distances. Patients wait longer for care due to wait times and transfers that are unnecessarily long. The stress and the system goes up because everybody is concerned about the patient and the stresses are causing even staff to treat each other differently. #emergency #healthcanada #trauma #traumahealing
