The word concussion comes from the Latin word “c The word concussion comes from the Latin word “concusses” which means to shake violently. It results in a mild brain injury from the brain shaking in the the skull. And…I have one 🤕 I was in a cycling accident almost 2 weeks ago and had to go to the emergency department after losing consciousness. Everyday I feel a bit better but the healing process is slower than I would like. Especially since I’m someone who is always on the go. Minimizing screen time helps so I’ll sign off now, but a big thank you to all my friends, family and colleagues who have been supporting me so much! Have you or someone you know ever had a concussion? Let me know in the comments!
Spending the evening on Citadel Hill was a great w Spending the evening on Citadel Hill was a great way to finish off #halifaxpride. 🌈 Look at all the kites! I was working in the hospital today and I’m back at it again tomorrow. Sometimes after work I feel so tired afterward, like I want to just go directly to bed or watch Netflix. But lately, I’m pacing myself and making sure I don’t get burnt out. And when I do something fun in the evening after work, ideally outdoors, my life is more full. ❤️ In medicine, it is so easy for our field of work to be all-consuming. With the doctor shortage, there is always pressure to work more. And more. And more. But I have another goal with my work - I’m going for longevity. I don’t ever want to retire. I love my job and my patients, but I also love taking time for walks outside, watching kites 🙂 Here’s to never retiring because we’re doing what we enjoy!

For many #children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the #pandemic has been isolating and disorienting. For some of their #parents, it has led to #burnout. So how can we support these families going forward?
