Anecdotes can be hypothesis generating.
When the question is tested & the answer is “no”, some people reject the higher (less bias) evidence :(

Untold numbers of Canadians are attached to primary care but do not have practical timely access.
The province says 511,000 patients were attached to a primary care team
BUT DID NOT SAY HOW MANY-
-Had family doctors to begin with
-Family doctors had stopped practicing over that period
-New teams were created from existing practices
🍁 In data we trust.

It’s flu season! 🤧
A recent study found early antivirals were associated with 81% lower adjusted odds of severe disease in kids with flu.
Too good to be true?
#SGEMPeds breaks down why we’re skeptical.

Bulletpoints are, potentially, the root of evil. They are scientifically proven to be bad for learning. The fact that you don't know how to give a presentation without them is not a reason to keep using them. Guns don't kill, bulletpoints do.

It's more than just attachment. Patients need timely access to primary care. Without access, they're essentially unattached. The result: patients are told to go to the ED.

Right in time for flu season.
#SGEMPeds returns this week looking at a recent study published in Pediatrics.
How much does early antiviral therapy help in pediatric influenza?
