My latest for @CBCNS on how docs get paid. Bottom line? We need to decide together what good primary care looks like so we know what models might work.

"Because we know that #relationships built over time matter, we should encourage relationship-based #medicine" Such an important piece by @arunadhara on prioritizing #primarycare in #NovaScotia @CBCNS bit.ly/2VmUttS

This is colonized structural violence.
In health care it is the water we swim in, but we need to push back against it every chance we get.
Racism doesn't need racists.
It just needs us to keep swimming without seeing.
Everyone who works in a hospital should reflect on this thread. Folks do the best with what they have, and sometimes we're the best choice in a bad system.

This exactly. This is not a time to congratulate ourselves on supporting Noroh. Let's examine the deeply unjust system that put her in this position.
