1623774523731628032 | Unconscionable that a young person such as Ariane, would be considered for #MAID instead of being offered medical support. How is this happening in Canada? Who will stand up to help? @david_eby @adriandix @JustinTrudeau @SoniaFurstenau @DoctorsOfBC @BCPBHS https://t.co/iXkJRouGPh | 5 |
1624462419824353281 | Absolutely. It would protect patient privacy, enhance efficiency of healthcare delivery and reduce costs. Patient outcomes would be improved by all providers having access to critical patient info when needed and it would avoid duplication of effort/cost. #bcpoli @DoctorsOfBC https://t.co/sCjo0jZDvz | 5 |
