Rules

  1. No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.

  2. No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.

  3. Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.

  4. Act professionally and decently: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues.

  5. Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.

  6. No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.

These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)

"Among the findings was a lack of due diligence in the transfer of services, poor risk assessment by AHS, and the decision to proceed despite knowing the main objective of saving money was unlikely to be achieved.

The report points to then-health minister Adriana LaGrange as having pressed for the move, with her department accused of undermining AHS in the process.

In the spring of 2022, the Alberta government signed a 15-year contract with DynaLife to fully privatize lab testing services in the province. Less than a year after the transition, the province bought out DynaLife in a multi-million dollar deal that returned the lab contract to Alberta Precision Labs (APL), which is part of AHS."

Yet another case of farming something out to others and it failing. We need to own our shit and run it more efficiently not keep selling it off to the lowest common denominator. I'd rather go full socialist/communist than deal with another "corporation".
