The #parable of the old #farmer and the #physician.

An elderly farmer went in to see his #GP for a physical (probably had to be trussed by his wife to get him to see a #doc when he wasn't sick or injured.)

The #FamilyPractitioner asked him if he raised sheep. He had, he said. Well, the #doctor asked, if he had a dozen sheep, and one found a hole in the fence and escaped, how many sheep do you have left?

The farmer snorted, "None!"

This is not a future threat. Over 35% of active physicians are now 60+. In simple terms: 100,000+ doctors exit by 2030 and labor capacity that the current education pipeline cannot replace. We are watching a slow-motion wreck of public infrastructure.

If you have encountered problems with Paramed Home Support Services please send me a reply or contact me through a private message.
I am fed up with their awful scheduling, endless excuses for failing to meet appointed times, or failing to show up altogether. I need to hear from others about their experiences--confidentiality guaranteed !! Clients are needlessly suffering.
Paramed, owned by Extendicare, secured contracts with provinces and need to fulfil their promised services and contracts, but are wasting taxpayers dollars with their careless and irresponsible management.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.

ff: in a systematic analysis comparing #midwifery to #physician care, midwifery care in #childbirth resulted in:
- increased use of intermittent auscultation (instead of continuous electronic fetal monitoring
-less use of epidural or spinal analgesia
-less use of pain medication overall
-fewer episiotomies
-increased spontaneous vaginal birth
-more vaginal births after a cesarean
-greater initiation of breastfeeding
-better psychological experience
-lower costs
