New Ontario medical rank: GP with FOCUSED PRACTICE in ...
ONTARIO: GP with FOCUSED PRACTICE a copy of UK GPwSI (GP with Special Interest)
Ontario College Phys & Surgeons (CPSO) has copied UK NHS status of "GPwSI"; above basic GP but below a Specialist. GPwSIs often work as hospital clinic assistants to UK Consultants.
CPSO changed the phrase of "Practice Limited to...."
Now "GP with Focused Practice in..."
The "GP" must be included to le4t the public know that the doctor is NOT a Specialist. (The result of the YAZDANFAR case when a GP who did liposuction killed a patient.)
The new`law will help Specialists who trained abroad but can not or will not take the Canadian specialty exams.
It will also help GPs who want to rise above the herd by taking extra courses. It will also help provide a degree of specialised services in parts of Ontario where Specialists do not want to live.

LYTINSKI-CONN SYNDROME (Primary Aldosteronism)
At a Toronto International Endocine conference,Melbourne (Clayton) Prince Henry's Institute, Senior Fellow Prof. John FUNDER AO, MD,PhD, FRCP,FRACP pointed out that Dr. Michal LYTINSKI published in Polish before Dr.Jerome CONN.
Primary Aldosteronism is missed in most hypertensives.. 20% of the Canadian population are hypertensive( 6,800,000) 10% of hypertensives have Primary Aldosteronism (680,000). Mainly undiagnosed at present through "cost, ignorance & indifference". Less than 1% of those with Primary Aldosteronism are screened; especially indicated in Atrial fibrillation.
"Guidelines for Primary Hypertension need revision".
Low potassium is not the main sign. Resistant hypertension, weakness and nocturnal polyuria are clinical clues. Small adrenal tumours may be seen on CT scans.
A quick diagnostic test of eplerenone (INSPRA) or spironolactone (ALDACTONE) will immediately drop blood pressure in patients with Primary Aldosteronism. INSPRA does not cause gynaecomastia or erectile disfunction..
