Opinion: Plasma collection in Canada is a bloody mess that needs fixing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s time for Grifols, the private plasma collector, to get its act together or get out of Canada. And it’s well past time for the regulator, Health Canada, to do its job and enforce safety rules more seriously. Globe and Mail reporter Chris Hannay has, for months, been diligently reporting the grievous failings at some of Grifols’ 17 plasma collection sites. Rodiyat Alabede, a 22-year-old student, died following a visit to a Winnipeg site where she experienced cardiac problems while donating pl
Quebec doctors call for inquest into suicides among profession (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over 1,500 Quebec doctors are calling for a coroner’s inquest after five doctors in the province reportedly died by suicide over a five-month period this year. The doctors sent a letter to Quebec’s chief coroner Sept. 18 asking for an inquest into suicides in their profession. The signatories write that doctors face death and suffering every day and take on a lot of responsibility, sometimes without adequate support. They also say some doctors avoid getting help for mental health issues because
Opinion: Should some doctors be forced to practise in underserviced areas? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled that the province does not have the legal right to force international medical graduates (IMGs) to work in underserviced areas as a prerequisite for a spot in residency training.

As a result, Judge Matth

Read excerpt
One of the most frustrating aspects of Canada’s decentralized health care system is how it results in inconsistent, and often incoherent, public policies. Take, for example, the largely overlooked issue of shingles infection. Anyone who has had chickenpox – which is about 90 per cent of people born before 1995 – can develop shingles later in life, and about one-third will do so at some point. Shingles can cause pustulent sores and, in up to one in five cases, post-herpetic neuralgia, a form of d
Opinion: Trump’s fixation on undermining vaccination harms kids (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among his many anachronistically bizarre pursuits, U.S. President Donald Trump seems hell-bent on seeing more unnecessarily sick and dead children in the wealthiest country on Earth. On Monday, he issued an executive order calling for a revamped childhood vaccination schedule, one that would make it harder to get vaccinated and offer less protection against devastating childhood illnesses. In short, the presidential decree called for the number of recommended childhood vaccines to fall to 11 fro
