so this cataracts ophthalmology thing is a huge scam posing as an "industry" and seniors are being exploited and ripped off and if you complain, the review board basically gives it all a pass. looking forward to talking to @CTVToronto about this Monday.
are ophthalmologists angry people? because ... 🥶
if you have a relative who needs #cataract surgery in Ontario, make sure they/you are getting a clinic referral from someone trusted. ask if they take OHIP. Ask if there are any costs. When you visit, is the clinic overcrowded. No OHIP, extra fees, overcrowded clinic = red flags.
1/13 Really interesting read Rory. Thx for sharing. I agree, its v difficult to remain clear headed when theres so much data & it can all be interpreted in different ways. Prof. @AndrewEwing11 is unhappy with #Sweden's strategy and has been openly critical - he's entitled to that
2/13 I think that data is being represented in a way that suits the narrative.I added extra columns:"since Aug 7" & "since Sept 7".I used Oct 14 as end point (date of publication).I also highlighted Netherlands in red as it was best performing in the table and good for comparison 
3/13 In Sweden from Aug to Oct there was a 3% increase in cumulative deaths per 100k and from Sept to Oct there was a 1% increase. Meanwhile, Netherlands (best of the worst) had 8% & 6% increases in cumulative deaths per 100k respectively.
