Salisbury Fire & Rescue

Answering the call….father and son team.

Salisbury Fire Rescue recently experienced a busy weekend with 4 structure fires paged out in one weekend.
The attached photos show the hard work encountered at two of these fires. In the photos are a father and son team working and learning what it’s all about. Very nice to see two generations making a difference. As we all know, it’s difficult now days to get and retain volunteer firefighters in our communities. Maybe this will turn into a third generation of firefighter!!

Sick Notes Are Not Medicine

They’re wasting healthcare professionals’ time.

One of the most frustrating things we deal with in the clinic isn’t the patients, it’s the system.

Every week, we see people who come to the clinic not because they need medical care, but because their employer demands a note to prove they were sick.

Think about that for a second.

Someone who’s ill, feverish, coughing, exhausted, who should be at home resting, is forced to sit in a waiting room for hours just so I can write on a piece of paper:

“This person was sick.”

It’s not the patient’s fault.

It’s the system’s failure.

When employers don’t trust their employees, they push people into overburdened ERs and clinics for no reason other than paperwork.

It wastes time, drives up wait times, and keeps real emergencies waiting longer.

Meanwhile, real parents, hardworking moms and dads, are missing work, losing pay, and waiting for hours with their child who simply needs a day at home watching The Price Is Right, not a doctor’s note.

Sick notes don’t heal anyone.

They don’t shorten recovery.

They don’t help me provide better care.

They’re a symptom of a broken system where proof has replaced trust.

And honestly, it’s one of the biggest scams we’re all paying for.

Now, are there patients who take advantage of sick days?

Yes.

Do sick notes partially mitigate their overuse? Probably a little.

Are there benefits to writing sick notes for some patients so employers can plan ahead for replacement labour or workplace accommodations?

Yes absolutely.

But those aren’t the notes I’m talking about.

I’m talking about the ones that say:

“This patient missed yesterday’s work for medical reasons because they were puking their faces off and unable to work. They’ll be better in a few days.”

Yet they’re forced to come to a waiting room, feeling sick and contagious, just so they can get paid and put food on the table.

Those are the notes I’m talking about.

There has to be a better way.
Any suggestions?

💚 Dr. Jules

We would like to take a moment to wish our “Clinic Chaos Coordinator” a VERY special Happy Birthday!!

Stacey became the owner of this clinic almost a decade ago and works tirelessly to continue to provide services for her community - despite all of the challenges(.. and there are a lot!)

For anyone who knows her personally, they know that she will drop everything to help anyone in need of medical care despite not having adequate support to provide these services. She has not given up and continues to push to retain and attract new doctors, expand services and address the growing needs of her community.

Please help us show her how loved and appreciated she is!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And here’s to many more! 🥰🥳
