Toronto Star
In appearance and proportions it resembles a major airport terminal.
And that 180-metre-long entrance hall to the new Humber River Hospital — the blue behemoth of a building that's been rising north of Highway 401 at Keele St. — will function like a departures gateway as well. Patients arriving by car will drive along the fronting roadway until they come to the door they need.

The StarPhoenix
Nurses play a critical role in Canada's healthcare system, and as main care providers, they are often also the ones who initiate changes for improvement to patient safety and care.
These initiatives may occur unbeknownst to the public and others in health care, but the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) wants to bring those stories to the forefront and shine a light on the nurses who are leading change.
La résistance aux antibiotiques : une 'grave menace pour la santé publique'

Sudbury man walking tall after leg repairment treatment
The Sudbury Star
If Jordan Morrison needed a test of his rebuilt leg, he could probably have found a gentler one than the tactical exercises he's being put through now.
"We've been doing ground takedowns," the 20-year-old Naughton native said from Peterborough, where he's enrolled in a course to become a park warden. "It's self-defense and use-of-force training, so I'm getting tossed around and beat up."

Formation infirmière: comme dans les pays émergents
La Presse
En 2010, le Québec se classait parmi les derniers dans la liste des pays francophones pour le nombre d'années requises pour l'entrée à la pratique infirmière. En fait, il est au même rang que certains pays africains (Mali et République du Congo). Sommes-nous donc un pays émergent?

App could slash wait times for knee, hip replacements
The Chronicle Herald
An orthopedic surgeon and his tech-savvy team think your smartphone could slash wait times for knee and hip replacements, two surgeries patients can wait painfully long years to receive.
Dr. Michael Dunbar's application would tap into the accelerometer in smartphones, which measures the speed of movement. If the phone were strapped to someone's back, it could create a three-dimensional picture so that doctors can read changes in gait that signal the deterioration of hips or knees, the Capital Health orthopedic surgeon said.

Toronto doctor reveals secrets of hospital slang
Canada.com
Dr. Brian Goldman had just finished his first exhausting night on call as a resident at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children when the senior resident asked with seemingly genuine sincerity how many patients Goldman had "boxed" that night, meaning put into a coffin.
He was joking. But the moment marked Goldman's initiation more than 30 years ago into what he describes as one of medicine's darkest and most enduring secrets, the slang and coded words used by the healing profession to describe certain patients and situations.

Why decompression surgery could help people suffering from CSM
Global News
Numbness, tingling, falling, and neck pain. It’s a mix of symptoms and the root cause may be a disease you’re not aware of. "CSM or Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy is caused by arthritis in the spine and it's where arthritic bone spurs and degenerated discs cause pressure on the spinal cord in the neck area. And this is the most common cause of paralysis in the world, related to spinal cord problems," says Dr. Michael Fehlings.
