Below is a link to the letter I sent to the CPSA about our situation in Pincher Creek after AHS tried to coerce us to give up privileges or face professional consequences. It's time for an agreement. Doctors are leaving. Patients will suffer.

It is NOT okay to stay silent. @roger4LivMac, not speaking up as @shandro and @jkenney let a hospital die in your riding will be a great legacy.

@AHS_SouthZone - fantastic work not looking for coverage until June 10th and "hoping the problem would fix itself"
@dryiu_verna @fbelanger11 @DrTedBraun - Does AHS plan to stay silent the whole time primary care suffers? How many doctors leaving or communities losing services will it take? You have a big voice and could help a lot of Albertans. Please remember you were doctors, first.
@CPSA_CA When government tears up our agreement and we have no right to arbitration, then spends months slandering us and changing our system in a way that negatively impacts our patients... when exactly do we get to speak up? If leaving is the only option patients will suffer.
@Albertadoctors - Thank you for being the adult in the room. In the end, we need government as much as government needs us. Hopefully @Alberta_UCP can figure that out and get back to the table before they completely screw over the rural voters that elected them.

Can someone please explain why @jkenney and @shandro hate doctors so much? I mean...I'm normally grateful I have this job. I get to do important work that benefits others. It's difficult, but extremely rewarding. B/c of UCP attacks I've instead felt demoralized for months. 1/6
The kind of cuts the UCP is making will actually cost more in the end. We have the data to show that! @jkenney thinks in annual budgets and 4 yr election cycles, and is not interested in hearing what is best for AB long term (hint: it's not 42% of doctors leaving). 2/6
You know who has a great grasp of where cuts can happen without affecting patent care or collapsing our public system? @Albertadoctors In fact, they worked with the previous government to come up with 500 million in savings when asked! 3/6
