Short 🧵on random #covid testing by @CanBorder & @GovCanHealth:
We crossed back into Canada April 1st, the 1st day pre-arrival covid tests were not required.
I was "randomly selected" and told to complete the take home test from @SwitchHealthCA within 24 hours. /1

Within an hour of getting to our cottage, fairly remotely located, where we indicated we would isolate in our #ArriveCan app (which worked well) as part of the quarantine plan ArriveCan asks for, I started the registration and testing process. /2
Thread: have an out of country test that is essential for dosing meds for my rare disease patient. The MOH in Ont no longer funding it and says hospital must now pay. No consultation. Hospital lab refuses to pay. Ask me can my rare disease patient pay out of pocket? Um, nope.
I've sent ++ emails trying to resolve this on top of my regular work. It will be resolved eventually because I'm pretty sure it's illegal to ask patients to pay for these lab services. #OHIP But in the meantime my patient is on a med with no monitoring and I'm sad and stressed.
Ask me why I'm burnt out- it's not because I didn't have time to work out and not because I didn't have dinner with my kids. It's because I can't do my damn job properly and ultimately our patients and our healthcare teams pay the price for this. Fin.
