As I put my thoughts down in writing, the seasons are changing and there is a chill in the air. Many of the physicians in our hospitals are also feeling a chill in the air with respect to our hospitals and health authorities. A new policy, “Respectful Workplace, Professional Conduct, and Discipline,” appears, on the surface, to establish and maintain a safe and respectful workplace for all. However, the devil, as they say, is in the details of how the policy is managed and enforced by those in the health authorities who are in positions of leadership, authority, and power.

How people travel daily from one place to another has significant consequences on their health and the health of their community. Most people travel by themselves in cars and trucks, and these vehicles are major contributors of environmental pollutants that cause both short- and long-term health impacts. Passenger vehicles are also significant emitters of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change.
