After years of advocacy and planning, the first of two world-class Siemens Artis Icono-Pro suites is now ready for baby's arrival tomorrow! Thank you to these fine gentlemen, their teams, and all the people in @VCHhealthcare, @SiemensHealth for making this a reality.

Two reporters did what has eluded so many others: penetrating the behemoth that is Epic

I’ve put together a tracker of the @Conservative_BC policy plan so you can check out our commitments and follow along with what’s next. Proud to have run on this plan and excited for what’s ahead for B.C.! Have a look 👇 trevorwithers.com

Many of our institutions are ideologically captured.
The BC teachers union president issued this statement today 🥴 "I recognize that with the outcome of a Conservative government, many of us may be feeling disappointed, scared, or deeply concerned about what might come next. I know these results may be particularly concerning for Indigenous, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ members. You are not alone."

If physicians can't own a hospital, hospitals shouldn't own physicians!!
The shift from hospitals to independent medical facilities can’t happen fast enough. $1300 difference for one occurrence of one procedure that’s an ongoing procedure that will likely happen ~100 times to this one patient. From the patients perspective the switch in setting would be getting the same drug in a better location.

Congrats to @LDoerkson, on a sweeping victory and the next premier of BC! If you don’t know who Lorne is or what he stands for I had the pleasure of interviewing him in depth before the election. youtu.be/vVLHlX7AUEg?si=xeWc…

Turns out I don't give the best advice to the NDP.
Eby would be a fool not to call a snap election in the next couple of days.

If I were 18 today, I’d avoid these 8 careers because AI is already replacing the core work: 1. Data entry 2. Call center / customer support 3. Truck / taxi driving 4. Bookkeeping 5. Translation of common languages 6. Generic content writing 7. Basic graphic design 8. Routine paralegal research Focus on skills AI amplifies instead of replaces.

Check the baseline first. The doctors in that study weren't allowed colleagues, references or search, which nobody practices without. And the 72% is test-ordering spend per case, so one missed diagnosis claim can erase a lot of it, can't it?

Replying to @WSJ
Writing this headline about this out-of-this-word presentation marking a monumental technical achievement reiterates that WSJ has given up writing credible accounts of reality for regular people to read.

Port Hardy Hospital ED will be closed on October 15 due to limited care provider availability. It is expected to reopen Friday at 7 a.m. All other hospital services remain open. If you have a medical emergency call 9-1-1 or go to Port McNeill Hospital ow.ly/QzpN50ZXSif

It should be illegal for a union to send out texts like this, full of misinformation. Conservatives absolutely did not say they will cut healthcare. This is disgraceful HEU
