An historic legal challenge from Canada’s physicians’ association to the Alberta government.

Bill 26 is harmful to gender diverse patients and sets a dangerous precedent of putting politicians in the exam room, overruling patient’s decisions that they have made with their doctors.

Canadian Medical Association @cmadocs.bsky.social · May 28

While we wish it wasn’t necessary, the Canadian Medical Association has joined three Alberta doctors in filing a constitutional challenge to Alberta’s Bill 26, to protect the relationship between patients, their families and doctors when it comes to making treatment decisions.

And a reminder that MMR vaccine is not recommended during pregnancy.

Part of pre-pregnancy planning is checking your immunity with your healthcare provider and getting a booster if needed.

Referral as we need your family MD to see you and decide if you need specialist care. Often a family doctor can solve the problem but we are here for cases that a family MD cannot help with. We barely have enough ObGyn for the population so we only see those who need our specialist skills.

A few important reminders about measles:
1. It’s one of the most contagious diseases on the planet and is spread by airborne transmission.
2. Measles lasts in the air for hours after the infected person has left the room.
3. Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer over 95% protection.
