I remember when this case 1st broke. I think the issue is Doulas who were doing work for free & breaking own rules about physical touch/massage. Surely the 1st part of any new patient interview is when was the test positive/when r u due? Yes this woman is grossly obese but pregnancy looks diff

20-22 NEW patients a day. Even at 10 mins a new patient appointment that is three &half hrs work. Even if it was 20 mins an appt that would be 7 hrs a day. there is no way that one dr is seeing 35-50 ppl a day. Drs are paid for 10 mins approx. 50 pat would be over 8 hrs. ( Nurse&lab do 12 hrs)

yes we know, we have a Specialist Shortage. Its unfortunate but what has been done for Past 15 yrs? Its about time government is trying to get vunerable people from other outlaying areas seen. I dont see a fix given. Quitting job or moving is a bit of a cop out isnt it?

Talena @surelyyoujokeme.bsky.social We will all be explaining it to our children and grands and great-grands. The powers-that-be of a major nation, a global empire in all but name, have signed on to the destruction of the assets, economy, reputation, and global position of their own nation.

I’ve spent almost a month in MENA & Europe, & from the outside, the US looks like a completely unhinged country. As a French friend put it, “it’s like a blinded Cyclops lurching around & destroying everything around him.” Not sure if we, at home, appreciate how totally crazy we look to the world

When did it happen? When did young teens start leaving the house dressed like they are undressed? Dont say Madonna cause i'm 80s & that was nothing like today's world. See-thru tights with gstring/thong underwear, super tight tops, like Gymwear but for School? Where are parents? Self respect?

i missed this and frankly after hearing CKNW this am, did i really miss anything other than Politicians Refusing to Answer the Questions? I am one of the 1/3 of BC residents who Do not know what to do this Election. Eby lied profusely to get into power 2yrs ago and Cons/Lib Leader is a Clark fan

Doing some research as to the way the BC lib/Cons party set up ALL the problems we are currently facing in healthcare. NDP did not have a majority until 2020 covid. There was no time/ability to solve Any of the problems/slashed budgets of the prev Gov. The medical Board of BC saw it coming.

I dont believe a word Eby Says. Also, fast tracking foreign Drs isnt a safe answer to our situation. Every country has Different levels of education & if they cannot Pass Canadian Standards, i personally dont want them here. btw i've recently discovered my career=5 yrs classes is only 1-2 in USA.

globalnews.caB.C. leaders on the campaign trail talk health care and supporting seniors | Globalnews.caThe Conservatives are promising to enact a series of measures, including reversing the NDP's changes to the property-tax deferment program and building more long-term-care beds.

I'm not a doctor but can you imagine anyone from a 1 yr course being able to pass Canadian Standard Exam? I used my career as an example of how even USA is so diff to Canada. Now Imagine sri lanka or serbia or poland? we just dont know/ NO free passes! it puts BC ppl at risk if eby fasttracks

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian counterparts & to Americans, please consider The RedRoses flour "mom's Prize Pumpkin pie recipe". This classic is from old 1967 cookbooks that i think All our grandma's had. the secret ingredient is Maple flavour.

Honestly i have a hard time with considering this Getting back to your roots & culture. Its not "First nation identity" to get into 4x4s, grab your rifles & pack Camping gear to go Hunting. I've found that ppls are happy with cultural appropriation when it goes one way.
