This process consists of gathering information in four main categories: the history of the present illness, personal social history, past medical history, and family history. Each piece of information obtained within these categories is vital in ensuring a patient receives appropriate and effective care. Specifically, a social history consists of asking about a patient's relationship status, support system, home environment, interests, exercise, nutritional habits, substance use, and sexual history. To complete a successful and full social history, one should try to address the social determinants of health. As per the Government of Canada’s website, social determinants of health “refer to a specific group of social and economic factors within the broader determinants of health. These relate to an individual’s place in society such as income, education or employment” [1]. Consequently, a critical component of a complete social history interview should be investigating a patients socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status (LSES) has been found to play a role in incidence and susceptibility to a variety of health conditions. As such, I believe that screening for and asking questions pertaining to the socioeconomic status of a patient should be considered a vital and essential component of every patient assessment.","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47879407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike media, banking and commerce which have adapted to the growing demand for convenience and accessibility from the public, the practice of medicine in many ways remains much unchanged from decades prior. The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) demanded an immediate shift in the way Canadian healthcare was delivered to reduce the risk of viral transmission from in person patient encounters. Cancer poses a large and ever-increasing impact on the Canadian population and healthcare resources. Brenner et al. (2020) estimated nearly half of the Canadian population will develop cancer in their lifetime in addition to the recent increasing yearly number of new diagnoses and deaths as the population grows and ages [1]. Cancer patients were initially an ideal population for telemedicine encounters during the pandemic. These patients often have additional comorbidities association with COVID-19 mortality and a diagnosis of cancer may further increase this risk [2]. As healthcare enters a second year within the new paradigm of virtual medicine, it is important to consider the impact and future of telemedicine on Canada’s ever-growing oncology patients.","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48231124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Almost understandably so, in an unprecedented time of change riddled with fear and a sense of loss, people turn to thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that sometimes do more to impede the return to normalcy that we all crave. Reports that were particularly prevalent during the early pandemic response, including those of individuals refusing to wear masks in public spaces or anti-lockdown rallies throughout North America, only spurred further confusion and divisive sentiments on both sides [1]. While these events may point towards a lack of clear communication and mixed messaging from authority figures in the early response, a culture of inherent skepticism, particularly on social media, continues to be pervasive. With hopes of a global re-opening riding on the current vaccine rollout, widespread acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines remains essential to achieving herd immunity and ultimately curbing the spread of the virus. However, marginalized and underrepresented groups in North America that have been most heavily affected by the pandemic are also often those who are most distrustful of the medical system [2,3].","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42014146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
