Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of #RoevWade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the #war” – has argued in favor of forcing #rape and #incest#victims as young as nine or 10 to carry #pregnancies to term.
"Translated to the population of #Canada, our survey estimates that more than 6.5 million adults across the country don't have access to a family #doctor or nurse practitioner they can see regularly. And even those lucky enough to have a family doctor are struggling to get timely care for urgent concerns or care on evenings and weekends."
Dr. Tara Kiran, family physician/researcher at MAP Centre at St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto & UofT.
Doctor mistakenly operated on a kid's tongue instead of finger.
How can a doctor commit such a mistake. It's such a traumatic experience for the kid!!!
A Doctor operated on 4-year-old patient's tongue instead of her finger in Kerala and faced public uproar due to which he got suspended.
#Dinosaurs in #Doctor#Who, who would have guessed...
Lets take a look at what they show, and break down what we can see.
They say they are 150m years in the past, in #Wyoming
In this image we can clearly see a #Brachiosaurus.
As far as I know, its been found in #Colorado which is close enough for it to migrate there.
It also looks fairly accurate for a #Giraffatitan adjacent species.
For the past 3 nights and yesterday afternoon, I've had a nose bleed out of my right nostril. Not gushing like a hit but a trickle. Luckily, it wakes me before I make a mess of pillows/sheets. 😳
I haven't been hit in the nose. No extra exertion or exercise to cause it. No previous issues with anything else other than the usual aches and pains of being old(er).No racing hereart rate or anything I can attribute it to.
Our medical centre has just put up some of its fees ($63 a visit) and introduced "Note that appointments running over time will be charged at $20 per 5 minutes, including for community services card holders. A standard appointment only allows 10 minutes of consultation and 5 minutes for your clinician to make notes. Only one item can be addressed safely in a standard consultation." (NZ$)
What sort of charges do you experience where ever you are in the world?

A #Houston#hospital is investigating whether a #doctor altered a #transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new #organs.
#MemorialHermann-Texas Med Ctr in #Houston, where Bynon oversaw both liver & kidney #transplant prgs, abruptly shut those down in the past wk while looking into allegations.
Thurs, the #medical ctr, a UTexas teaching #hospital, said it had found evidence a #doctor in its liver transplant prg had effectively denied patients transplants by changing recs. Ofcls ID’d the dr as Bynon, who is employed by U #Texas#Health#Science Ctr & has lead Mem Hermann’s abdominal transplant prg since 2011.
No one was in the waiting room👍Mom's follow up appointment went well. No new blood work until end of April. I got her blood pressure dosage increased⚕️
Took Mom to see the community gardens & watch rapids at Gorge Park, after her #doctor's appointment - photos to follow.
Now, back home & steaming up some frozen dimsum from Fairways Market. I work 3-7 today.
The last time my #doctor asked me what foods I ate, I responded:
"GMOs, dairy and sometimes a bit of fructose." Oh, and wheat.
I don't know why she started giggling uncontrollably. 🤔
Our #doctor who we saw today is brilliant. We were so lucky to sign up with him when our previous one retired. He is a 45 minute drive away though.
Many people in our area, including seniors, can’t find a doctor still. The ones they can find only work half a day a week.
One doctor we tried to sign up with we had to book an appointment with the receptionist, then she made us wait 45 minutes just to get a form from her while she gossiped with a colleague.
"The #Medical Sector in #Gaza is not on the verge of collapse anymore, it has already collapsed,” a #Jordanian#doctor who recently returned from Gaza said.
The doctor Mohammad Amro was volunteering in a main hospital in war torn Gaza and said,”The situation there is #catastrophic.”
As international concerns remain about a potential Israeli offensive in the city of #Rafah, #Gaza, a #Calgary#doctor who has been volunteering in the border city this month has been told to leave because the situation is too dangerous.
Dr. Fozia Alvi says she was part of the first foreign primary care team to assist the sick and injured in Rafah. The team was able to deliver medication for epilepsy and broad spectrum antibiotics, as well as pain medication.
Dr. Mohammad Harara, whom NBC News has been following since December, joined an estimated 1 million displaced Gazans crammed in the southern border town.
