Ontarians dropped by family doctors say they should’ve at least been notified

When Tarek Emara called his family doctor north of Toronto hoping to book an appointment three weeks ago, he didn’t expect to be told he was no longer a patient at the clinic.

“The receptionist … answers the call and says, ‘Oh, we haven’t seen you since 2016, and as a result, we dropped you from your list and you’re no longer at this clinic,'” Emara, who lives in Markham, Ont., told CBC Toronto.

“It’s obviously very disappointing, I shouldn’t be penalized for keeping healthy.”

Emara is now among the more than two million people without a family doctor in Ontario, according to a report released last month. In 2020, 1.8 million Ontarians reported not having a family physician, a number that has ballooned to 2.2 million in 2022, according to data from Inspire-PHC, a health-care research group. Long-established research has found people without a regular family physician are more

Time for a radical re-think of health care

If you had to remake the health system from scratch, what would you do? Turn the system on its head, making the hospital the place of last resort and beginning with what keeps people healthy

Last week, I suggested we need to radically re-think Canada’s “health care system” – actually, 13 separate, mainly publicly funded, often privately operated non-systems for illness care, with federal cost-sharing.

Having worked as a family physician in primary care, as a public-health physician in health planning and as a medical health officer, as an advisor and consultant on health promotion to the World Health Organization — mainly in Europe — as a medical consultant in population and public health at BC’s Ministry of Health, and as a health futurist, I have had lots of time to observe and think about Canada’s “health care system.”

Back in the 1990s and into the 2000s, I sometimes led

Doing it for the ‘gram?

Clout chasers, beware! Zach is not about to let you use him to boost your following on the ‘gram. This week on The Bachelor, everyone traveled to the Bahamas, where one woman got the boot because she (allegedly) was not there for the Right Reasons™.

Let’s recap!

It’s morning at Casa Bachelor, and everyone’s pretty happy that Christina’s gone. Jesse Palmer arrives with some good news. “Get ready for your own slice of Paradise, ladies — because you’re going to the Bahamas!” The squeals are deafening. When the host informs the women that their flight leaves in an hour, he is almost trampled to death as they rush to pack.

In fact, the study found an even lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, 75%, for those who

A calorie-restricted diet may slow aging in healthy adults, science shows

Eating fewer calories appears to slow the pace of aging and increase longevity in healthy adults, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Nature Aging.

The study, which was funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, is the first-ever randomized controlled trial that looked at the long-term impact of calorie restriction.

It adds to an already large body of evidence that a A calorie-restricted diet can provide substantial health benefits, including delayed aging, said the study’s senior author, Dan Belsky, who is assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.

“The main take-home of our study is that it is possible to slow down the pace of biological aging and that it may be possible to achieve that slowing through modification of lifestyle and behavior,” Belsky said.

In a phase 2 clinical trial,

Simple Questions To Ask Kids When They Share ‘News’ They Saw Online

Kids learn about what’s happening in the world from their peers, teachers, relatives and, of course, social media. But word-of-mouth and the internet both have their flaws when it comes to accuracy. That’s where parents come in.

“Communicating with your kids about news and current events is important because it has become incredibly challenging to navigate the fire hose of information, including the relentless news cycle, each and every day,” Michelle Lipkin, executive director of the National Association for Media Literacy Education, told HuffPost. “The lines between entertainment and news are blurred. It’s also hard to distinguish credible information from inaccurate information.”

She noted that news is often sensationalized and individual articles or clips don’t always express the true complexity of a given issue. Additionally, certain things don’t get much coverage, while other topics flood the social media sphere.

“Media literacy skills aren’t something kids will necessarily pick up on
