The paradox of privacy and security
Public
While privacy and security are a priority for people these days, the things they do to protect themselves may actually undermine it.
With all the spam phone calls, and even text messages, some people have been looking at installing a variety of apps to identify who the caller is. There are quite a few apps for this, but before you leap to installing one take a look at how they work and how it may affect you and your community of contacts in your phone.
Last chance to save BC's crumbling health care system may rest with the silent majority of physicians defeating the PMA
Public
Opinion
Dr Z. Essak, MD - Vancouver, BC - November 27, 2022.
The BC health care system continues to show larger cracks as it crumbles. Are patients and doctors to believe that the BC NDP Government and the Association of the Doctors of BC have a plan to fix it? You better think again. There is nothing in the Physician Master Agreement (PMA) that is going to fix our health care system. It is not going to restore longitudinal care. It doesn't even pretend to offer a GP for everyone, or even access to timely specialist care or surgery.
While patients are confused as to what will save health care, are doctors blinded by the glitter thrown in their faces? The only hope in sight is if the silent majority of physicians, the seventy percent who don't usually vote, decide this week to cast their vote against the PMA, to Vote "NO" to the PMA, and send a strong message to Government and their own leaders this is not a good fix.
Open letter to the President and President Elect of the CMA
Public
Dear Dr. Smart and Dr. Lafontaine,
Firstly, let us congratulate you, Dr. Smart, on your advocacy for Canadians and Canadian physicians over the past year. You have spoken well and kindly, placing the issues besetting health care in Canada before Canadians and the Federal government with admirable clarity.
And having known you for many years Dr. Lafontaine, we have great confidence that you will continue this essential advocacy.
Canadian Medical Association 2022 AGM is fast approaching
Public
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) 2022 AGM is fast approaching. It is to be a virtual event held on Sunday, August 21. There is still time to register until Tuesday, August 16.
What will this year's AGM be like? There have been several posts and comments by physician colleagues on the pages of Doclounge sharing thoughts on issues pertaining to the CMA and the upcoming AGM. Does the Annual Report lack important details? Why are there no detailed minutes from the last AGM for review and approval? Are new proposed Bylaw changes good or bad and why so little discussion?
