For simplicity’s sake, let’s just say that in clinical research/clinical trials, you, as a participant, will receive the Cadillac of care: no wait times for imaging, diagnostic tests, prompt medical attention if you experience what is referred to as an Adverse Event (AE). This highlights the sad reality that in Nova Scotia with a deeply challenged health care system (shortage of medical personnel, equipment, IT infrastructure), your best bet to receive top-notch care, may be enrolling in a clinical trial.
Mootness is the concept that some thing (incident or action) that was relevant at a given point in time is no longer relevant because that point in time for that issue/reason has passed. Most court cases against the pandemic lockdowns, restrictions and mandates across the country have been shut down due to Mootness.
Exclusive documents reveal that doctors in Nova Scotia greenlit five surgeries to create artificial vaginas for patients listed as under 19 years old. Citing privacy laws, the provincial health authority refused to reveal whether any of the patients were minors but acknowledged that Nova Scotia Health funds transgender genital surgeries for minors as of this year, “as per policy and procedures.”
How have I been? Well…
I suppose it starts with the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. It was an emotional few weeks, and it culminated in a violent quelling of a peaceful protest, which was perfectly in line with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 2(c) (the fundamental freedom of peaceful assembly). It was legal to participate in, and fund, such a gathering until the government decided to pass orders and measures which made it illegal.
Interestingly PHIA already has provisions – 31(l) and 38(1)(g) – which allow for the Minister to collect personal health information for the purpose of planning and management of the health system. It also already contains provisions for the Minister to collect that information for the purposes of creating or maintaining an electronic health record at 31(o). The difference now, however, seems to be that custodians will no longer be able to refuse to disclose your personal health information to the government.
