I was interested in taking a B*A*S*H (bears' ambulatory surgical hospital) tent and (combining) it with a children's festival," the 48-year-old lawyer recalls about his idea for a free picnic in the park.
"The key to the success of the event is the commitment of volunteers who in the first year took ownership of a certain area," says [John Myers], who got involved after his daughter, now 20, was born prematurely and needed care from Children's Hospital. "People come back year after year and they're very committed.
"It's been a labour of love because we've all had fun," says [George Einarson], who recalls a few tricky situations with bad weather, late performers and technical problems, but is loath to share too many war stories from backstage.

The Teddy Bears --- and children -- will be going to the 21st annual Teddy Bears' Picnic in Assiniboine Park on Sunday. The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and supports the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, gives children a chance to get their stuffed friends checked out by doctors, nurses and therapists at the B*A*S*H tent (Bears Ambulatory Surgical Hospital). The foundation will also benefit from the third annual Wal-Mart Walk for Miracles on June 10 in St. Vital Park.
The 11th annual Cruisin' Down the Crescent fundraiser will walk, ride, roll, inline-skate or run on June 10 for the Rehabilitation Centre for Children Foundation, starting at the RCC on Wellington Crescent and going to Assiniboine Park. Pledge sheets are available at www.rccf.ca or by calling Chris at ...

The challenge for Manitoba is applying these technologies to our own northern and remote communities. Telehealth, in which medical advice is provided from a distance, has grown increasingly sophisticated, and is a focus of Infoway's efforts and investment. While some services will never be available in small rural communities -- it wouldn't be economically viable to have an MRI scanner in The Pas, for instance -- technology used properly has the potential to improve access to medical care for the large percentage of the province's population who don't live within easy driving distance of a major centre.
Examples from other provinces of the effective use of technology to reduce costs and improve outcomes abound. A hospital in Ontario has developed a "check-in kiosk" for ambulatory ER pat...

We don't see a lot of them," said [David Ames], who works as an orthopedic resident at Health Sciences Centre. "Most of the time they wander off in the woods and take care of it themselves. But when they come in, you gotta do what you gotta do.
The ever-popular Bears' Ambulatory Surgical Hospital (B*A*S*H) was 30 per cent larger this year, and included a new neurology section. By early afternoon, dozens of parents, children and injured bears stood in a long line to see a triage nurse and get an X-ray, MRI, CT scan to help diagnose everything from "inflamed candy gland" and "hunny potbelly."
"It can be fun," [Duane Cheskey] said. "It doesn't have to be traumatic."

Winnipeg's once-beleaguered Handi-Transit service claims it has caught up with demand, thanks to more accessible regular buses and a crackdown on abuse that once saw "everybody and their dog get a pass from their doctor," in the words of city council's finance boss.
Handi-Transit is not a senior citizens' transportation service. It's supposed to be for people who can't see and people who can't walk," O'[Shaughnessy] said.
She also cautioned low-floor buses are not suitable for all ambulatory Handi-Transit customers, as people who can walk to some degree may still be too vulnerable to travel on their own. Nevertheless, the number of people in wheelchairs using low-floor buses appears to be growing. Wheelchair trips recorded by Winnipeg Transit jumped from 8,101 in 2005 to 14,162 in 2007...

Because our training models in Clinical Psychology have not kept pace with the rapid changes in the health care marketplace, we may be in danger of preparing psychologists for markets that no longer exist. The next generations of psychologists will require the skills of the entrepreneur and the leader in addition to a range of core clinical skills. At the same time, our profession's historic commitment to science as the best epistemic game in town may founder if we fail to pay better attention to knowledge translation (i.e., how to move scientific findings expeditiously from the laboratory into practice).
