A New Year’s resolution list for Canada’s MDsWhile many don't keep their resolutions, you almost certainly won’t keep them if you don’t make a list. Here’s my advice for making that list stick—and my own ideas for what should be on it. The five most important lessons I learned in 2025None of these lessons came from a conference podium or a journal abstract. They emerged in exam rooms, group circles, silence and moments when nothing was being ‘fixed.’ Taking stock of 2025, refilling the vision for 2026 Just as we count inventory—regularly checking what is on the shelf, what is running low, and what needs to be reordered—we must do the same for our profession. Case report: Ear ache A patient's last-minute question helped clarify and otherwise curious case. Doctor, do you procrastinate doing computer/paperwork?

Editorial: The R-E-S-P-E-C-T Issue Where respect has faltered—and how physicians can reclaim it. Do women recover from grief more quickly than men? As women tend to speak, share, and reconnect, many men grieve in silence, a difference that can deepen suffering and even shorten lives. Why patients don't always feel better after ‘good news’ When treatment ends, the healing is often just beginning. POLL: Should teens be able to access their mental health records via FOI requests?
