Saturday Snap – Negative Covid Test!

I hate how it feels almost inevitable that one of these tests is going to come up positive one of these days, especially with how fast Omicron is apparently spreading. But not today, Satan! 😉

Saturday Snap – I Got Vaccinated (Under 11 Edition)

Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]

First Children’s Vaccination Booked!

Another big milestone in the ongoing battle against Covid – getting our eight year old booked for her first vaccination! (And the email confirmation had the actual address but its definitely the most “Saskatchewan” thing ever to list the location of the vaccination clinic as a business that moved three years ago!)

This Anti-Vax Single Mother’s Series of Posts Could Be A PSA For *Getting* Vaccinated

This tragic series of posts by an anti-vax single mother as she catches Covid, is hospitalized, sees her condition worsen, begs for people to donate money and take care of her family if she passes then eventually dies could be an effective public service announcement *in favour of* vaccination. This is one of the top […]

Saturday Snap – Swimming Lessons in the Age of Covid

Sasha missed her first week while we were waiting for a Covid test result (luckily negative!) Then when we arrive for this week, it’s a very different experience than ever before – proof of vaccination to enter a city facility, get a stamp to confirm to any other staff that we were screened by their […]

Funeral for a Family Friend

It was being used a bit before Covid but the pandemic definitely made livestreaming a more common option for all sorts of major life events including birthdays, holidays, weddings and especially funerals. This has come in handy a few times recently – over the summer when a former coworker died of stage four breast cancer, […]

“I have no shame in pleading to the public” – Sask Chief Public Health Officer Gets Emotional

I don’t think Scott Moe has the emotional maturity and empathy to speak like this… Moe does, however, has the ability to turn Saskatchewan into a dystopian nightmare… Several of my patients were selected for evacuation to Ontario this week. Though clinical teams played no role in choosing who went (all handled higher up), we […]

Great Attraction or Great Attrition? It’s Up To Employers…

Some of the society-shifting impacts of Covid are being seen most clearly in workplaces.  A lot depends on whether managers and leaders are able to shift their thinking…
