A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

ive also seen posts on SA where people who had panic attacks complained at getting billed for ambulance rides. What did you expect, they literally sent a crew of paramedics in a vehicle to your location, making them unavailable for actual emergencies, so you could breath into a paper bag. Oh my god the inhumanity of it all
At least I called a cab when I experienced the most excruciating pain of my life. Cost about as much as the later deductibles.

Drive north from whichever city you were in for about 30 minutes and it will get lumberjacky real fast. Hope you like listening to chansons while you spoon.

I live in Canada and when I go to the doctor he always asks "do you need anything for anxiety?" And I always say no, because I'm not really anxious. I should start saying yes.

I just walked in to a doctor's office this morning, without an appointment. In under 30 minutes I was in an exam room. Less than 20 minutes after that I hate a prescription for naproxen and an order for a hip X-ray. Less than an hour after that I had my pills and X-rays done. I already have an appointment to go over the X-rays on Friday. Total out of pocket cost?


$1.92.

Suck it America.

None of you can write a script that shows and not tells and your concept of sci-fi is bullshit therefore Canadians are garbage people and we should invade

Sucking it here isn't too bad. Not all of your citizens appear to be satisfied with the wait times in your system.

Published on March 17, 2015:
"A new Fraser Institute report suggests more Canadians are traveling abroad to receive medical treatment on foreign soil."

"In 2014, the average patient in Canada could expect to wait almost 10 weeks for medically necessary treatment after seeing specialist,” said the study’s co-author Bacchus Barua"

yeah that's what rich people do when they dont want to wait anymore. which is cool for the rest of us because them going somewhere else gives shorter wait times. lol basically we get the best of both worlds.

meanwhile there are no wait times for Americans because no one can afford to go see a specialist

"A new Fraser Institute report

That's the problem right there. The Fraser "Institute" is a neoliberal/libertarian think thank that's funded by the Koch brothers with the mission to destroy Canada as we know it and turn into the dystopia of their dreams. Anything that comes out of that hellhole is not worth the paper it's printed on. It's rather sad to see how many people take them seriously and even sadder to see them maintain their charity status while real environmental NGOs get theirs revoked.

BANANA?!?!?

I just watched a baby come out of my wife with a small army of doctors and nurses, complete with epidural and a bunch of other things, now we're being waited on hand and foot and given food and diapers, and tomorrow we're going to walk out of here and never see a single invoice for the trouble. If watching our various political parties make fun of each other instead of getting some drat work done is the price to pay then so be it.

OTOH I twisted my ankle crazy bad years ago and the doctor I saw told me to go home and wouldn't even let me get it xrayed or even scratch out a prescription, and it's still not in great shape today. You win some you lose some.
