I have a respiratory bug. I'm really hoping it's just the flu. But this means I've canceled 2 clinics, a med student isn't getting his training from me, and I'm behind on tasks. If this continues, I'd like to paint a picture of what it will mean to the province.
I'm 1/4 of the psychiatrists @usask student wellness, 1/2 the psychiatrists at the Operational Stress Injury Clinic, the only psychiatrist @OUTSaskatoon or doing remote clinics to #LaLoche the #AthabascaHealthAuthority and the only adult psychiatrist for #LaRonge.
I am also providing care to folks at CUMFI and @SanctumYXE 1.5. If I'm sick for a while this all goes away during that time. If I actually have COVID, then 1/6th of the neurosurgery resident team is off as a close contact. We AREN'T a big enough province to handle more cases.
We manage, as a province, because we work together as a great community, and when we lose members of that community things crumble. If we get more cases we won't have the people to run our essential services, never mind care for COVID folk.
We have to be proactive in shutting this down, and I'm very concerned we are not being so. I have trouble feeling like dinning out in a restaurant is worth no outpt psychiatric care to the northern half of the province, or enough neurosurgery staff to treat a bleed in your brain.
