Yesterday I had a high risk patient in my office tell me she was waiting for her 2nd dose of #CovidVaccine, BC she didn't want #Moderna. I brought her to our #vaccine fridge to show her.
Me:
"Here are the MMR vaccines for boosters. There are 2 brands. Do u know them?"
Pt: "No" "here are the various types of Tetanus, all the same manufacturer, but different combinations with other vaccines. Do you trust when I tell you which booster is most appropriate for you?"

Patient: starts laughing and says "yes Doc"

1. #LTC was always going to be where the disaster unfolds. @OntariosDoctors told u in the 1st wave, & everyone in the world knew it in this one. 1/

2. Relying on hospitals to "save the day" wrt IPAC, staffing & resources is an impossible task if in a hot zone, when also trying to continue to provide acute & chronic care services. We already knew that #onhealth added 80+ wks to wait lists just from 1st few mos of lockdown 2/

Tonight is 3rd night of no sleep since I went into a #LTC in #onhealth with 100s of #COVID + residents, almost no staff. So far, my other LTCs have avoided outbreaks, but what I witnessed yesterday is needing words I don't have. My brain can't rest, and I think I'm in shock. 1 I'm not even tearful. I'm not afraid for myself tho yes the conditions were not good & xmas w elderly parents is cancelled for sure now. I am just ... Hypervigilant. I woke up after a couple hrs of sleep, having "dreamt" of another catastrophe. 2/
