With a new BC Minister of Health, I hope that @josieosborne.bsky.social and @DoctorsofBC can have productive conversations re: Bill 36 (HPOA). Politicizing Colleges is wrong. As it stands, Bill 36 is counterproductive to the relationship between government and health professionals.

This will be a huge issue. Based on past performance, I'm hopeful but not confident that @DoctorsOfBC will respond effectively.
They need strong outside help. And members need to be vigilant.
Or this will be very bad for doctors.

B.C. doctors push back against company offering 'long-COVID testing'
Canada’s biggest testing and diagnostics company is offering “various diagnostic tests” for long COVID to British Columbians, even though the national health agency clearly states the condition isn’t detectible via testing.
