So I have appendicitis. I'm having surgery later today. I always experience being a patient through a health lawyer lens, so I thought I'd live tweet some of my day. These tweets may become less coherent as the day goes on. One thing I've noticed that would normally not be on my radar is the ceiling. I rarely look up in hospitals. It seems very patient-centered to me that there's art on the emerg ceiling. I appreciate having something to look at and use for distraction.

To my surprise I have not seen any public criticism of the recent Emergency Order in #Ontario that permits virtual signing of Wills & POAs. The more I think about it, the more concerned I am. So here is a thread of what’s been keeping me up @ night. But first, some context. 1/22 I don’t draft Wills and rarely draft POAs. I see POAs in action (or lack thereof) when there are consent/capacity issues. I have serious concerns about undue influence and capacity and believe we must continue to be mindful of these issues in this new physically distant world.
