Our research team @ McGill University is asking children living in #Canada between 8-14 years of age who are affected by #cancer (those living with cancer, siblings, friends) to rate how they’d like health information shared!!

Questionnaire (Eng + Fr) will take ~15-20 minutes

BURNOUT! #AYACSM

I learned the hard way. Burn out is very real, and very physical. My thyroid stopped working about 6 months after we got through the thick of it.

HIPAA, I think liability issues across organizations, hospitals want things done in different ways than what the outside organizations are doing. #AYACSM

I was trying to keep it to 1 post lol

But yes, better access to outside resources as well. Though I know a lot of hospitals are clamping down on that.
