Our trauma team often says that the majority of accidents are preventable. Today, we are asking for 28 days of collective effort in order to prevent our health care system from bleeding out. 28 days to prevent our medical teams from being overloaded, surgeries from being postponed, families from losing a loved one. 28 days to think and act as a community. Hang in there, and together we will overcome this second wave.

Over 1,300 people have registered to the Montreal virtual edition of the Pharmaprix Run for Women. THANK YOU! It might be too late to register, but you can still donate to support mental health initiatives for women at the Montreal General Hospital. Go to codelife.ca/support-the-2020-run-for-women to support women with perinatal depression or bordeline personality disorder!

How Are You Feeling? It’s a trivial question, but one that many of us no longer know how to answer. Across the province, the demand for mental health care is exploding. This is a new wave that the medical teams at the Montreal General Hospital are also facing. In order to care for as many people as possible and to provide them with the necessary treatments and therapies, our teams need you and your compassion more than ever.

C'est parti! Discussion ce midi au sujet de la Course sur les femmes, de santé mentale, de dépression périnatale et de trouble de la personnalité limite.

On ne répètera jamais assez l'importance de ne pas conduire avec des facultés affaiblies par la drogue ou l'alcool. Notre Centre de Traumatologie soigne chaque année beaucoup trop de blessures reliées à des collisions et des incidents majeurs qui auraient pu être évités. Pour rappeler à tous, et aux jeunes en particulier, l'importance de la prudence, nos collègues du Service de police de l'agglomération de Longueuil se sont basés sur les témoignages de nos Drs Wong, Grushka, Khwaja et McKendy et de l'infirmier Simon Cloutier-Gagné pour produire cette capsule vidéo.
