I was talking to someone today (who didn’t realize I was a doc), he had cut his arm on a rusty nail & went to a Heath clinic as he realized he was out of date on tetanus. He was told he couldn’t have one, but they handed him a business card where he could pay for one privately

Holy heck…honestly, how much mismanagement can a premier get away with before a Lt Got dissolves his legitimized crime spree? @LtGovAb Salma Lakhani you have practically only one job. What will it take for you to do it? Or are you in @jkenney ’s pocket as well?

If this contract goes through then all physician grassroots advocacy will dry up. Imagine I, as a family doc in Red Deer speaks out...there are mechanisms in this contract to allow @Shandro to apply withholds to family docs in Central Zone within a month.

If @jkenney was so sure of himself regarding these leaked recordings, he wouldn’t be pushing out issues managers to address it, and he wouldn’t delay his own response. Honesty is instantaneous, crafting a lie takes time...I am guessing 5 more hours

@AdrianaLaGrange @ABDanielleSmith @MartinLongUCP @MattJonesYYC I believe I will be taking April or May off to look at my options. Despite acknowledging FamMed has been rendered unsustainable, UCP keeps attacking, while lying about relief. If Albertans won't stop this, I am done. I encourage all FamDocs to book off to explore their options.

In other news, Telus today emailed its customers, asking them if they had problems with acne…and acne is caused by diet. So you should book a $60 dietician Telus phone call, and if you are still stressed at the end, Telus will bill AH to hear how you should use antibiotics. ..2

I live in Deer Park, Red Deer. I have been gone for a week…but just before I left, all I could see was orange signs. In prior elections this neighbourhood would be only blue signs. There is a chance UCP has lost its grip on south Red Deer? @albertaNDP @Alberta_UCP @UCPWarRoom

Taking the alberta budget survey right now. My gosh this is filled with propoganda. Q6 is blatant spin. Congrats @UCPCaucus , you can't even conduct a survey without turning it into a lie

It seems @shandro is delivering policy over twitter that will have immediate effects on how patients are able to access healthcare, and yet @shandro has specifically blocked many of the healthcare gateminders (GPs). Surely there must be some legal precedence on this obstruction

Wow, just wow. This Telus/Babylon owned clinic is charging roughly $500-$1000/hr to see a doctor, and it seems they are likely also billing AH. This is the corporate shareholder-profit driven healthcare UCP wants for you.

@SWCalgaryGuy @marshiehilgs Yes, that's part one of the plan. Part two will be to replace much of the public system with the private system that's waiting in the wings. If you can afford it you may get great care. For example TELUS's offering:

Let’s not forget that this govt has literally “broken every rule in the book”. They have had opponent docs investigated to see if they could find dirt on them. For them to clutch the pearls over a whistleblower revealing how little they regard Albertans’ safety is pure stunt
