And the payout from the class action lawsuit netted less than $8 for each claimant whose most personal health data was breached. Not really much of a deterrent to prevent the next breach.

Thanks CBC for reporting on this. Vancouver Island health authority also had a breach that affected employees who accessed counseling through their EFAP program in 2021. It was also handled poorly. databreaches.net/2021/07/28/c...

Heiltsuk Nation celebrates 1st baby delivered in homelands in years | CBC News An early labour in Bella Bella, B.C., where the hospital isn't equipped to deliver babies, had a happy ending as the first Heiltsuk baby was born on Heiltsuk territory in years. And, in a special turn...

Pre-clearance also prevents Canadians from being detained by US authorities. The Canadian is still on Canadian soil and can just walk back outside the airport and go home if they want to.

I did not know Darren in person but followed him and interacted with him on Twitter, his death has made me so sad, like I lost a friend. He was an amazing and very special person. Gone way too soon.

Edmonton mountain biker who died in crash near Nordegg mourned Dr. Darren Markland was well respected ICU physician and health care advocate

This is an unbelievable loss to Alberta. Dr. Markland was a powerful voice of compassion and integrity and he was loved and respected by so many.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. 💔

Danielle Smith is DARVO-ing an entire town.

Let's increase the followership for this courageous plastic surgeon here on the sky. @drelisabethpotter.bsky.social

That's what I was thinking...it will just cost them later if the patient gets lymphedema. Peers of mine who have lymphedema are unable to work, so reducing the likelihood of lymphedema would also save the employers or long term disability insurers.

These microsurgeons who perform breast reconstruction using microscopes in the operating room for up to 16 hours at a time are very tough. I wouldn't mess with them if I were united.

I haven't seen it in Canada. But it's easy to guess which lab results have been recorded.

I understand! One of my drains kept "running high" for three weeks post op. I had to wear a big shirt to conceal it when I attended a Bruce Coburn concert.

Yep, and when we found out that it's common practice in the US to feed chicken litter to dairy cows, that adds to the revulsion I feel towards those products.

Trump Urges Supporters To Move On From Societal Disdain For Pedophilia WASHINGTON—Facing mounting backlash from his MAGA base over his perceived ties to the Jeffrey Epstein case, President Donald Trump reportedly encouraged his supporters Monday to simply move on from so...

Trump Urges Supporters To Move On From Societal Disdain For Pedophilia

I remain grateful for your ongoing work. Thank you.

Like I keep saying, AI is useless for things that never achieved "I" in the first place.

a few weeks ago, I followed the instructions on this page and it got rid of the google AI search stuff. YAY! tenbluelinks.org

When the tumor is removed, you may be asked to donate part of it to a breast cancer study or a tissue bank for future studies. I remember signing documents twice for two different research purposes. I was like "well, this tissue is trying to kill me, so, sure, take it!"

I was wondering the same thing. In reading the article, the authors used "number of prescriptions" rather than dose as variables. From what I know, patients using gabapentin for hot flashes usually have a lower dose than those using it for pain.

Those publications provided us with the best articles and information during the pandemic. It would be a huge loss if their editorial decisions were eroded.

And we share the world with the individuals who are working for ICE. Not just the organization itself.

@nicktsergas.ca has assembled some groups of Canadians a few months ago.

Are you home? The surgery went as expected? Best wishes!

Yep, that's why in the recent past a sleep EEG was done using chloral hydrate. The neurologists tell me it produces less artefact. Nowadays, sleep EEGs are usually done via sleep deprivation in the preceding 24 hrs.

Same moral distress as a Canadian healthcare worker. In addition to the annual handwashing modules, I have to complete a module on how to porter patients and lift heavy laundry bags without injuring myself. My job involves neither portering nor laundry bags.

Best Wishes for Monday!

Yes, although I am the science nerd in a family of talented artsy people, they all liked the flowchart. It answered most of their questions, all on one page. It's 6 years ago this month that I found my lump. I'm able to do everything I could do before. You are welcome to DM me if you wish.

I liked your Q&A format. I told my loved ones the same news a few years ago by sending them a flowchart of the possible paths of surgery and treatment. You are at the "what type of surgery am I gonna have" point on the chart. And yes, surprisingly, these cancer lumps do not have a smooth texture.

Canada rescinds digital services tax to advance trade discussions with the United States | CBC News The federal government announced late Sunday evening it is rescinding the digital services tax, days after U.S. President Donald Trump demanded it gone and cut off Canada-U.S. trade negotiations.

Disappointing response.

There is no deal to be had.
We just look weak and there will be no end to it now

A very accurate description of the sentiment. Thankfully we have Charlie Angus posting wise words. One of my faves is his advice about respecting capable Canadian women. bsky.app/profile/char...
