@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIMO: It just goes to show how needed this was and how many people were putting off or simply not getting dental work done because of the cost.
Dental Care should be included in our Public Healthcare system. No separate system.. just part of healthcare.
Period.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
The Canadian Universal Healthcare system has been under tremendous stress since COVID, and it's easy to have the impression today that it is broken. IMO, I would characterize it as bent or wounded as it continues to provide medical services that save lives. This article points out that several of Canada’s hospitals rank amongst the world's best , particularly in cancer and cardiac treatment. Let's continue to fight to improve our current system and vote out any clown (cough... Ford... cough) that threatens to erode the universal affordability principle through privatization.

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzAnyone working in #hospice care in the UK, this might be of interest: pilot courses for teams of 6 to 12 people, on how to use "Clean Language" in conversations about end-of-life care.
1 day in-person, or 2 x half a day if online. CPD certificate.
"Clean Language" is about how you can talk with people and listen to people without accidentally bringing in your own baggage when you didn't mean to.
This skill can help you reach clearer/deeper understanding of other people's worlds. And it can mean you're less likely to set off unnecessary disagreements, so that conversations go more smoothly.
Pilot aimed at South West, Yorkshire & North East. I asked Judy why those areas in particular, and she said those are areas where they're building up "clusters of expertise", but actually it could be any UK end-of-life group.
(I slightly know Judy from having been to a little community event of hers about Clean Language in healthcare. And we have colleagues in common.)
