Welcome to the Wallis Club - Free of line twist for the rest of Steelheader's life!

So who is going to change the health system here? or what can we do to change it?

Thanks for all the replies!

I am in the market to buy an ATV for snowplowing & ice fishing or specifications to ensure it will get the job done Any suggestions?

Stay strong to beat that crap out of her system. All the best to Jen

Am I the only one who switches back to the regular PP after giving PP Superslick a hard try after one season,

Just came back from Cabela Barrie. found the pricing is very CANADIAN

I don't get it

Dad, are you taking me with you?

What are places people get those recommended sunglasses from?

Are there different levels of polarization? I have not yet found any pair of sunglasses completely black out the LCD screen when rotated 90 degrees as shown.

I am looking for a new pair of sunglasses which is truly polarized & 100% UV protected without spending $$$$ on it. Any suggestions on brands/models & place(s) with best deal(s) Would be great if it is good for both driving & fishing

still have not got replies from MNR ...

Got asked by a stranger @ BPS and could not give him a 100% sure answer. have not got responses from MNR yet.

Buddy of mine lost his Steez Baitcaster+rod combo at Simcoe last year due to a casting mishap. We spent over an hour trying to aimlessly snag it off the bottom with no luck. Another buddy of mine replaced brakes of his car 1st time in his life the night before another steelie trip. We found out the brake job was not done properly the hard way - ended up running over his neighbor's fence across the street shortly after backing out from the driveway .... 2am in the morning. Neighbor called police without finding out what the hell was going on ... everything was cool after spending the next hour with police & the neighbor. None of passengers (3) (yes, full house) were in the mood to go fishing EXCEPT him. He insisted on going ... got caught up at boarder and arrived the spot 3 hrs too late ... However, it ended up the best fishing trip ever .. or most costly fishing trip for him. It was 9K to fix up rear bumper & neighbor's fence.

Exactly. Family doctors just reported what they were told. I am troubled with which radiologist to trust.

It is interesting you said that. Guess you are suggesting to get the 2nd opinion, JUST IN CASE if someone made a mistake

Updates from my last post of my relative's story. He went to the 1st doctor and was told to get an ultrasound test done. Not trusting too much about the system we have, 2 days later he went to the 2nd doctor and was also told to get another ultrasound test done. 1 week later, the 1st doctor told him that he is perfectly fine based on the ultrasound report which stated "No abnormalies were found". 1 week + 2 days later, the 2nd doctor told him that he needs to get a CT scan for further analysis based on the 2nd ultrasound report which stated "Right kidney was found severely swollen". Even though he was puzzled, he asked the 2nd doctor that how long it would normally take for a kidney to get as swollen as his and the answer was "At least 2 months". After the CT scan, he also got a enteroscopy done to determine that he actually got a kidney infection & went on the treatment. In other words, if he were never to get 2nd ultrasound done, his condition would have gotten worse to the point it might be too late! My questions are: 1) Who/where can this be reported to for an answer/justice? - want to get actual ultrasound images of each test to figure out whether there was a mistake by radiologist or mistake by technician who took images 2) Should he always get a 2nd opinion from now on? - it might mean a waste of medical resources

Immigration to other countries with health care system ranking ahead of Canada is the only way out of this!

That part is east that all of us can do. It still comes down to be able to know the physical difference between drugs, in which, I believe general public including myself are not capable of.

How do we (I) check if it is the correct medicine or not? I am not a DR/RN/pharmicists

NO Way! I thought long ER wait time was all there is for complaints ...

Greatly appreciated feedbacks from RN fellows or with RN spouse. I, for one, just like other members, have never complaint to front-line healthcare givers, in fact, heros. Yes, every system has its flaws and the reason why we rant is because we care, we care about this country and want it to become better in all aspects. I quickly googled 'rank of health care system' to find out Canada is No. #30 of 191 countries in WHO (World Health Organization). Not trying to throw other countries under the bus but I was completely shocked by some. (please see it yourself). IMO, I do not mind higher taxes if it grants everyone in ER to be seen by GP in 5mins. Everything in life can wait but patients in pain. For those who say they do not mind waiting, are liers, or they have not been serious pains yet. No one will stay healthy forever, and it will be just a matter of time to 'do your share of ER wait time. Once again, KUDO to health care givers and wish someone(s) can make this a better place.

Due to recent events, I have started wondering how others think about the health care system we have. Aside from the fact that it is free (not really IMO, isn't what the tax is for?), there seem to be lots area for improvement such as - WAAAAAIT time -> My relative has to wait for 3 weeks before seeing a specialist. (what to do before then?) -> Even Emergency Room?! It was quite upsetting & helpless feeling to wait in ER seeing others & your loves ones in pain for hours. - Acute care availability What are your thoughts?

Beemer plant is where I am going for work ... could not find anything interesting after googling for a while
