La collégialité : le remède à la crise actuelle

“There’s one doctor who’s not very prominent … in promoting vaccinations and public health campaigns, and it feels like that one doctor is the Chief Medical Officer of Health, who could be standing here, who could be offering weekly updates.”1Those words from Dr Adil Shamji, the Ontario Liberal Party’s health critic, in December 2022 might easily have been dismissed as political theatre. What I saw, though, was yet another regrettable lack of collegiality in public shown by one physician to another. In this case, the target was Dr Kieran Moore—a physician and civil servant with his own specialty training and mandate and the autonomy to determine how best to protect the health of Ontarians.
