We already know the importance of ventilation in reducing transmission of viruses (like COVID).

@AIRVALENT_com sent me a CO2 monitor for my home, so I know when it’s time to open a window or increase my ventilation fan rate.

Governments don’t belong in confidential, evidence-based, and patient-informed decisions between a doctor and their patient.

Who should decide if you get a knee replacement?

Who should decide what medication is best for you?

Wildfires around Alberta are leading to poor air quality all over the province. Many places have AQHI of 10 or higher today. Please limit time outdoors and stay safe 🙏🏽

I received this in my DMs in response to my tweet about user fees.

This is from an MD in Switzerland, a country often used as an example of “how to do it right” when it comes to privatizing healthcare.

Spotted at the Denver airport…

I’ll get to the point - don’t waste your money.

Always be skeptical of products that sound like quick fixes or too good to be true.

Spotted in my hotel room…🤦🏽‍♀️

Seriously?! Now hotel chains are buying into this nonsense?

Spoiler alert - this won’t work (well, it might in 30% of people)

Wow, the number of people triggered when I post information about how supplements are mostly useless. It’s like they stand to lose something? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Don’t worry, I have way more evidence coming your way to debunk the utility of supplements....
