Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Open Conversation On Pregnancy Loss
Q: What changes do you think are needed in medical care for pregnancy loss?
More sensitivity, better communication, clear information about options and supports, and the creation of dedicated pregnancy clinics rather than solely ER-based care.
An Open Conversation On Pregnancy Loss
Q: Why did you want to do this project?
I wanted to bring an open conversation to a topic that is often kept quiet because of stigma, to show that pregnancy loss is common and to push for better care and support.
What's it like to try and get diagnosed with endometriosis?
Q: Why did you decide to pursue a hysterectomy, and what did that decision mean for you?
She chose it because she never wanted children and wanted to end the painful, ongoing cycles; it was symbolic and life-changing, though not a cure for endometriosis.
What's it like to try and get diagnosed with endometriosis?
Q: What was it like for you to finally receive that diagnosis at age 35?
It felt validating because the system finally recognized there was something wrong, but anger remained about how long it took and the prior dismissal of symptoms.
Why are gynaecology wait times so long in Canada?
Q: What is the OMA proposing to fix payment issues in Ontario's healthcare system?
We are advocating for changes to the billing system and ensuring clinical expertise is involved in claim assessments.
