I get this a lot.. Pediatric Palliative Care.. isn’t that all about dying?! My response would always be.. no, it’s the opposite! Palliative care generally is all about living.. living the best life possible in the face of medical challenges!

An open letter to @fordnation from @CanPaedSociety: Kids' #mentalhealth is suffering. Keeping them off the playground and basketball courts isn't going to stop #COVID19. But it will hurt children and youth. Lift restrictions on outdoor recreation spaces NOW.

I’ve spent my whole life being a rules follower. Imagine my surprise when one of my tweets from earlier today turned out, at 5 pm, to be a call for civil disobedience in Ontario, where unsafe nonessential work is okay but safer outdoor socializing isn’t. 1/n

🎉🩹 With the 2021 new year, I'm excited to announce a new website (1800noclots.com) that provides information in the area of thrombosis and stroke in children. 🩸 The site will be updated as new research and guidelines roll out. Hope everyone is healthy and safe!

افضل مكان للعناية بالأطفال ذوي المشاكل الصحية المعقدة والمزمنة هو منزلهم، فتواجدهم في المستشفى لمدة طويلة من غير سبب لازم هو ظلم في حقهم، ولن يتحقق هذا الهدف من دون تواجد فريق الرعاية الصحية المنزلية. #pediatriccomplexcare

So excited to welcome all our new @mac_peds PGY1s tomorrow morning for our boot camp! Welcome to our family and the @mch_childrens team! https://t.co/1BJo51nluP


Couldn’t agree more!! 👏🏼

1/ Q: What's in a name? A: A whooole lot, man. For the last few years, at the start of intern orientation, I ask residents to answer these questions: 1. My name is ____. 2. It is pronounced ____. 3. I prefer to be called ____. 4. I'd actually prefer you not call me _____.

Residency is a weird journey. They say a day in residency feels like a year, while a year in residency feels like a day! Indeed, It feels like I just started residency @mac_peds yesterday, and here the journey ends. I’m just so grateful for all the lessons and memories I got!

Inequality in acknowledgment and appreciation is a common and destructive form of hidden discrimination. #stopracism

Still traumatized 9 years later


Intolerant to racism in all shapes and forms, the obvious ones and the hidden! Yes, hidden racism does exist and I have witnessed it. Stop #racism
