Last month, it was revealed that Jamie was being hospitalized for an undisclosed “medical condition” after experiencing a “medical complication” a day prior to her post. Corinne released a statement on behalf of the Foxx family.
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” wrote Corinne. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Cancer survivor hospitalized after the acupuncturist promised to regrow thyroid if he stopped taking meds
Seventeen years after SK lost his thyroid gland to cancer, he was promised a miracle: acupuncture could regrow the vital organs.
Kyung Chun Oh, an acupuncturist based in the Toronto area, claimed he’d performed this wonder before, according to a recent decision from the College Of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario.
But Oh told his patient it would only work if SK stopped the thyroid medication he’d been on since his surgery in 2003.
Within just a few months of his first visit to Oh, SK, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, was admitted to…
Is coffee good or bad for you? That may depend on your genes
Latte, pour-over or double double: no matter how you grind or brew it, many Canadians start their day with a cup of coffee.
Coffee — more specifically, caffeine — can be a great way to feel more alert and awake. But what else is that cup of coffee doing to our health?
According to experts, it depends.

Canada could be training 100 more family doctors this year, but medical residency spots went unfilled
Some 100 family medicine residency training spots will be unfilled across Canada when new physicians start the next phase of their education in a few months — the continuation of an alarming trend that is exacerbating the family doctor shortage in the country and prompting a call to fix what some critics describe as a broken system.
“The concern is there … because it’s an opportunity lost, if you will, around bringing a prospective family physician into the profession,” said John Gallinger, head of the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS).
The non-profit organization takes students’ top choices of specialties and…

Canadians losing confidence in free health care: Poll
Canadians are reportedly losing faith in the public health care system, years after the pandemic ravaged hospitals and shuttered emergency rooms, a new survey suggests.
The findings, published Friday by public opinion research firm Research Co., found the number of Canadians confident the health care system will support them dropped 10 per cent from 18 months ago.
“I think the drop in confidence is really surprising,” said Mario Canseco, President of Research Co. “… You have essentially a third of Canadians who say, ‘I don’t want to get sick because I don’t think the system is going to be there…
