In this special episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, Allegiance star Supinder Wraich and executive producer Nimisha Mukerji reflect on the crime procedural's emotionally searing second season. Season one introduced us to Sabrina Sohal (played by Supinder), a star rookie police officer in the CFPC who must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her politician father Ajeet Sohal, played by friend of the pod Stephen Lobo. Season two finds Sabrina earning a probationary spot as a detective in the Serious Crimes Unit, and with a new partner: Detective Corporal Zak Kalaini played by Samer Salem, from a CFPC branch in Alberta, who has a much different style of policing than Sabrina.Allegiance is set and produced in Surrey, British Columbia, and is very much a character in its own right. Season two brought us even deeper into the community, and also into issues that are at once specific to Surrey and also universal: issues like violence against women in the South Asian community; sexual predation of teen boys; violence against the unhoused; PTSD; and also grief: how we navigate it, and how we need to fold it into our lives somehow or risk losing ourselves altogether. In the first half of the episode, Supinder Wraich reflects on Sabrina's journey in season two, her own journey in Sabrina's detective shoes, and healing through representation. In the second half of the episode, executive producer and director Nimisha Mukerji reflects on the emotional resonance of Allegiance's second season, and what Sabrina Sohal represents for her. Episode sponsor: Directors Guild Of Canada, BC District Council

Set in Surrey, BC, Allegiance follows Sabrina Sohal (Supinder Wraich), a Canadian police officer who believes in the system but also sees its flaws. Newly promoted to the Serious Crimes Unit of the CFPC in British Columbia, Sabrina finds that she has only six months to prove that she has what it takes to be a detective. Determined to prove that she's worthy of the position, she finds herself paired with a new partner who has more experience and takes a different approach to the job. As she fights for the people on the streets of Surrey, Sabrina also fights desperately to take down the man responsible for framing her father for treason. In this 1on1, we speak to Wraich about celebrating diversity and police that want to 'do better'.

**PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE MATTHEW PERRY FOUNDATION** https://matthewperryfoundation.org/   Today, we will be discussing the life and career of the late Matthew Perry (0:57). The guys start off by shouting out an interview with Perry from last year on CBC's Q with Tom Power. They then discuss his early life growing up in Ottawa and his “beating up” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when they were both children. They then go-over his early roles and his breakout success with ‘Friends'. They discuss his hit movies as well as other shows he has been on such as ‘Scrubs' and ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip'. Asif and Ali then segue into discussing Perry's medical issues over the years, many of which were related to his addiction. In the second part, the guys discuss an approach to addiction in medicine (28:40). They talk about how common addiction is worldwide, but yet how many physicians feel untrained to discuss substance use with their patients. Asif discusses practical questions that can be asked to screen for alcohol or drug use. He then discusses ‘motivational interviewing' for patients with addiction issues. Asif then discusses who patients with substance abuse and dependence can be referred to.    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

 Hello and welcome to another episode of The GenerEhlist's CFPC 105 topics podcast.  ●        Today's topic is renal failure ●        This episode was written by Vaishvi Patel, a third-year medical student from the University of Alberta, and Ronan Noble an MD/PhD student from the UofA as well, and it was reviewed by Dr. Whitney Hung, an internal medicine senior resident in Edmonton, AB.

Symptoms drive patients to seek primary care, but the fact that up to half never lead to a diagnosis is a challenge; it's also an opportunity to refresh how symptoms are viewed in family medicine. Dr Nick Pimlott hosts a discussion with Dr Thomas Freeman and Dr Moira Stewart about the implications of paying greater attention to symptoms for patient care, research, and teaching. Check out their research on abdominal pain symptoms in the May 2023 issue of Canadian Family Physician: https://www.cfp.ca/content/69/5/341. Their informative essay on studying symptoms in family practice appeared in the March 2020 issue: https://www.cfp.ca/content/66/3/218.

This episode of BPR was inspired by a recent Gymnastics Clinic that we conducted at https://www.instagram.com/crossfitpinecreek/ (CrossFit Pine Creek) in Pittsburgh, PA. The clinic was a huge success, and we are so thankful for the generosity and hospitality of the CFPC. ⠀ After the clinic, D took some time to reflect on the weekend: what went well, what didn't go so well, what could be improved before the next clinic, etc. During that reflection, D realized that nearly every question from both the coaches and participants traced back to the same issue, and that's EXACTLY what triggered today's discussion. ⠀ If you're ready to rebuild your body, move out of pain, and finally have the work you do in the gym be reflected in the mirror, this is your opportunity.

Braedon Paul and Caleb Dusdal tackle the CCFP Key Topic Diarrhea   Written by Braedon Paul, the topics are covered in the form of three cases.

Written By: Caleb Dusdal Peer Review By: Sarah Donnelly https://thegenerehlist.ca/ccfp-exam-105-topics-podcast/ Objective One: In patients complaining of leg pain and/or swelling, evaluate the likelihood of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) as investigation and treatment should differ according to the risk. Objective Two: In patients with high probability for thrombotic disease (e.g., extensive leg clot, suspected pulmonary embolism) start anticoagulant therapy if tests will be delayed. Objective Three: Identify patients likely to benefit from DVT prophylaxis. Objective Four: Utilize investigations for DVT allowing for their limitations (e.g., Ultrasound and D-dimer). Objective Five: In patients with established DVT, use oral anticoagulation appropriately, (e.g., start promptly, watch for drug interactions, monitor lab values and adjust dose when appropriate, stop warfarin when appropriate, provide patient teaching). Objective Six: Consider the possibility of an underlying coagulopathy in patients with DVT, especially when unexpected. Objective Seven: Use compression stockings in appropriate patients, to prevent and treat post-phlebetic syndrome.  

Written By: Chris Cochrane Expert Review By: Dr. Nabeela Waja (Paediatrician) https://thegenerehlist.ca/2021/06/06/ccfp-key-topic-croup/ Objective 1: In patients with croup, Identify the need for respiratory assistance (e.g., assess ABCs, fatigue, somnolence, paradoxical breathing, in drawing) and provide that assistance when indicated.     Objective 2: Before attributing stridor to croup, consider other possible causes (e.g., anaphylaxis, foreign body (airway or esophagus), retropharyngeal abscess, epiglottitis). Objective 3: In any patient presenting with respiratory symptoms, look specifically for the signs and symptoms that differentiate upper from lower respiratory disease (e.g., stridor vs. wheeze vs. whoop). Objective 4: In a child presenting with a clear history and physical examination compatible with mild to moderate croup, make the clinical diagnosis without further testing (e.g., do not routinely X-ray). Objective 5: In patients with a diagnosis of croup, use steroids (do not under treat mild-to-moderate cases of croup). Objective 6: In a patient presenting with croup, address parental concerns (e.g., not minimizing the symptoms and their impact on the parents), acknowledging fluctuating course of the disease, providing a plan anticipating recurrence of the symptoms.

Written/Researched By: Braedon Paul Peer Review By: Caleb Dusdal   STEP 1. [Objectives 1a/b/c, 8a] Provide reassurance and develop rapport through validation of the problem and use of active listening skills. STEP 2.

STEP 5. [Objectives 2c/d] Follow up with the patient to provide ongoing support and to reinforce appropriate action.  

Objective One: In a patient with a diagnosed chronic disease who presents with acute symptoms, diagnose: acute complications of the chronic disease acute exacerbations of the disease Objective Two: Regularly reassess adherence (compliance) to the treatment plan (including medications) Objective Three: In patients with chronic disease a) Actively inquire about pain. b) Treat appropriately by: titrating medication to the patient's pain, taking into account other treatments and conditions, considering non-pharmacologic treatment and adjuvant therapies Objective Four: Patients with chronic disease, actively inquire about: the psychological impact of diagnosis and treatment, functional impairment, underlying depression or risk of suicide or underlying substance abuse. Objective Five: Given a non-compliant patient, explore the reasons why, with a view to improving future adherence to the treatment plan.

Written & Researched By: Caleb Dusdal and Thomsen D'hont The first of the new 105 CCFP Topics https://thegenerehlist.ca/2021/05/16/ccfp-key-topic-chronic-pain/ Objective One: In a patient with chronic pain: Establish the etiology, Reassess and periodically review the etiology and Periodically look for potential comorbidities or complications, particularly mental illness and addictions. Objective Two: In a patient with chronic pain who complains of significantly increased pain, search for an alternative etiology as you cannot assume that the original cause of the pain is the reason for the exacerbation. Objective Three: In a patient in whom you did not make the initial diagnosis of chronic pain: Establish an effective relationship, Verify the diagnosis, and clarify goals of treatment and plans for management Objective Four: In managing a patient with chronic pain: Use shared decision-making, and engage other professionals in this care when appropriate Objective Five: In a patient with chronic pain: Comprehensively document the assessment, plan, goals, and prescription details and Make the treatment plan appropriately accessible Objective Six: When prescribing medications with abuse potential in a patient with chronic pain where you have no established relationship or insufficient records, be prudent in your prescribing. Do not simply provide or refuse to prescribe. Objective Seven: Use a written treatment contract with realistic consequences when prescribing medications with abuse potential to a patient with chronic pain. Objective Eight: When a patient with chronic pain has breached a contract: Manage your own emotions, Address the possible impact on your staff and team, and Apply or judiciously amend the contract

Written By: Chris Cochrane, FM Resident in Medicine Hat Peer Review By: Kevin Duncan, EM Resident in Kelowna Objective One: a) In a patient having a seizure: Ensure proper airway control (e.g., oropharyngeal airway or nasal trumpet, lateral decubitus to prevent aspiration). b) Use drugs (e.g., benzodiazepines, phenytoin) promptly to stop the seizure, even before the etiology is confirmed. c) Rule out reversible metabolic causes in a timely fashion (e.g., hypoglycemia, hypoxia, heat stroke, electrolytes abnormalities). Objective Two: In a patient presenting with an ill-defined episode (e.g., fits, spells, turns), take a history to distinguish a seizure from other events. Objective Three: In a patient presenting with a seizure, take an appropriate history to direct the investigation (e.g., do not over investigate; a stable known disorder may require only a drug-level measurement, while new or changing seizures may require an extensive work-up). Objective Four: In all patients presenting with a seizure, examine carefully for focal neurologic findings. Objective Five: In a patient with a previously known seizure disorder, who presents with a seizure or a change in the pattern of seizures: a) Assess by history the factors that may affect the primary seizure disorder (e.g., medication compliance, alcohol use, lifestyle, recent changes in medications [not just antiepileptic medications], other illnesses). b) Include other causes of seizure in the differential diagnosis. (Not all seizures are caused by epilepsy.) Objective Six: In the ongoing care of a patient with a stable seizure disorder: a) Regularly inquire about compliance (with medication and lifestyle measures). side effects of anticonvulsant medication, and the impact of the disorder and its treatment on the patient's life (e.g., on driving, when seizures occur at work or with friends). b) Monitor for complications of the anticonvulsant medication (e.g., hematologic complications, osteoporosis). c) Modify management of other health issues taking into account the anticonvulsant medication (e.g., in prescribing antibiotics, pregnancy).

We're witnessing an unprecedented moment in American history: the Census coinciding with a global pandemic. The enormous task of counting every person in the country is off to a rocky start, with the U.S. Census Bureau having to postpone or cancel much of its outreach efforts due to Covid. What's more, we know the Census is prone to missing folks, especially babies and young children, leading to an undercount. The implications are severe: when we don't count kids, they miss out on federal funding for vital programs like children's health insurance, education and child care — for an entire decade. Deborah Stein with the Partnership for America's Children joins Anne to discuss how advocates and communities are working together to ensure all kids are counted in the 2020 Census. Then, Anne and Stephen take a quick dive into Iowa-specific Census data, including self-response rates, compared to where we were as a state 10 years ago.
