Mark Carney rencontre des sympathisants à Hamilton, Ontario.

Hamilton est une ville de bâtisseurs et ces Hamiltoniens sont prêts à bâtir #UnCanadaFort.

Leaning into the abundance philosophy of life, leadership, and work today: there are ample opportunities and resources for everyone, so we should meet challenges with optimism and generosity. ☀️

Visual Abstract. Prothrombin Complex Concentrate vs Frozen Plasma for Coagulopathic Bleeding in Cardiac Surgery

In patients needing coagulation factor replacement after cardiac surgery, prothrombin complex concentrate showed superior hemostatic effectiveness and fewer serious adverse events and acute kidney injuries compared to frozen plasma. #ACC25 https://ja.ma/43w3phs

A graph showing the cumulative incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism (primary efficacy outcome) among patients who received apixaban at a reduced (2.5 mg) or full (5.0 mg) dose twice daily for 12 months.

In the API-CAT trial involving patients with active cancer and venous thromboembolism, extended anticoagulation with reduced-dose apixaban was noninferior to full-dose apixaban for preventing recurrent thromboembolic events. Full results: nej.md/41YkRZK

It’s moving to see someone both lead and heal.

Hamilton is my hometown, and this message gives me hope. ⚒️

Utah Republicans push to let patients supply their own blood as vaccine concerns linger Health care facilities in Utah would be required to let patients bring their own blood or choose their own donor for medical procedures under legislation gaining momentum in Utah

We continue to see legislative efforts to mandate that blood banks/hospitals allow patients to use directed or autologous blood donations without medical indication. These are driven by vaccine-related fears which lack any scientific grounding. This is problematic for multiple reasons… 1/

This is a strikingly beautiful and shattering read. “I’ve learned to let the beauty of the world and the bravery of other people pull me up and out of the despair.”

I am so damn busy doing the work (& encouraging others to do so, too) … PHEW. Do NOT give up your agency or your hope, my friends.

Thanks to all for being in this together.

Here’s to the long game. 🙏❤️

Everything you're seeing now started from a pittance of cash given by the Canadian government for fundamental research

Thank you. “Natural attorneys of the poor” (and marginalized and equity seeking and vulnerable and forgotten) is a sentiment that resonates.

We feel warmly about kind, smart people who want to help us create a better Canada! For jobs: check out the university of Toronto’s IHPME and our federal and provincial governments’ job sites. I wish you luck in your search - and I hope it leads you to our beautiful country.

A broad answer to your question: We aren’t a country without problems. But as an academic physician with an interest in equity, a believer in science, a visible minority, a friend and ally of LGBTQ2S+ people… I don’t feel the fear many of my American friends feel right now.

U.S. physician colleagues - did you know that Ontario, Canada has 3 expedited pathways to practice in our province? All specialties have needs. We *really* need great family docs! www.cpso.on.ca/Physicians/R...

Talking about lab stewardship for rural physicians with my family medicine bestie, Dr Kate Miller, on Jan 23. Register now! srpcportal.ca/events/

Ontario docs - don’t forget to vote in the OMA elections! Great slate of candidates, including my longtime colleague Dr Khalid Azzam from Hamilton, who is an extraordinarily experienced, kind, and thoughtful leader. @ontariosdoctors.bsky.social

Excited to speak at the Chicago Highlights of ASH about the intersection btw women’s health and hematology! TY for the opportunity, @ash.hematology.org

Congrats to both! Brilliant scholars and awfully nice people ❤️

Isn’t it lovely? My colleague who is a red cell disorders treater bought one, and I am quite happy with my red cell earrings!

So much great sickle cell content at #ASH24! (Including the Ham-Wasserman lecture this year!) Well deserved focus on a too often marginalized condition and patient population.

Very good! But as a Canadian I have been told that my taco bar is pretty low ☺️

Dinner and then a good sleep to prepare for a busy day at #ASH24 tomorrow! 9:30 am in SDCC Rm 25, kicking off @ash-hematology.bsky.social guidelines sessions with peds VTE update.

Heading your way with - literally - a plane full of 🇨🇦 hematologists!

Snowy airport

Really looking forward to escaping the snow for #ASH24 and San Diego sun!

Clinton, those little emojis have gotten so big! ❤️
