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.

Author, gynecologist Jen Gunter says she's moving back to Canada as reproductive rights erode in U.S. | CBC News Jen Gunter, a Winnipeg-born gynecologist and bestselling author, says she's had enough with the United States, but she’s also prescribing a stark warning for Canadian voters concerned about the future...

"I would say to every Canadian who is listening to this: You should be looking up the voting records of whoever you're voting for in the upcoming election & see how they have voted on bills related to reproductive rights,"

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.

Opinion: Does Danielle Smith know we can all see and hear her? The Alberta Premier’s spectacle of naked self-interest has been broadcast for all to see. Does she think everyone’s too stupid to notice?

“Ms. Smith, transparently, has been attempting an Andy Bernard play for the past several months, kissing up to the Trump entourage out of naked self-interest while kneecapping what she decided was her competition: the rest of the country.”

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.

Premier talked about paying higher rates so they can pay for the cost of building the CSF
Debate exists if taxpayers should pay for any/all of the infrastructure costs
BUT, consider this: does it make sense to pay for CSFs if Hospital ORs sitting empty?
