• A made-in-Ottawa solution to get around long wait times to see medical specialists

  Patients sometimes had to wait for up to nine months. Wouldn’t it be quicker if the family physician could ask the specialist a question? reasoned Dr. Clare Liddy, a family physician, and Dr. Erin Keely, an endocrinologist, who are both researchers. It could eliminate long waits and frustration for the pat

• 'He was pretty spectacular that way:' The brave and busy life of Ryan Mercer

  29-07-2018 14:00 via ottawacitizen.com
  Two years ago, Ryan Mercer came home from summer camp with a sore back.
  Being a nine-year-old boy, however, he had a hard time pinpointing the exact cause of the injury: It could have been from doing backflips into the lake, he told his parents, or it might have been from a body slam during a game of tag.
  “He was so rough-and-tumble, it could have been anything,” remembers Ryan’s mother, Darlene Mercer.
  When Ryan’s back pain persisted, however, his mother brought him to t
