Once again…told a ya so.

How is it this old vet can portend this way out, yet the POTUS and his council cannot.

Not to mention the 90 million registered voters who stayed home.

deenomorecrap.bsky.social•1 day ago

but the taxes, the taxes...

gigibu.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm poor as poor can get. But I'd give my right arm to make sure no family goes without Healthcare in this country, I pay my taxes gladly. Bonus if I can get a little back like the rebates but now those are gone. Hopefully we'll see it some other way. But either way a lot of Canadians would agree

dregsfrolics.bsky.social•6 hours ago

A brain drain is not unprecedented when a tyrant comes back to town. They'll have to understand that we do things differently here and the job pays less than under the privatized American system. I welcome all comers, we need them currently.

BRING THE FEMALE DOCTORS, PLEASE!!!
We need women doctors to help women navigate women's health issues. No more practitioners who've practiced/learned medicine with male anatomy. Sorta defeats the purpose of helping women since we don't have a penis. Just saying.

acs2468.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I kind of agree with this, but the best diagnostician I ever had was a man.

gigibu.bsky.social•10 hours ago

1/Young women who use male doctors should always bring a friend to all visits if nurses not available.

My 1st prego,1st visit: gyno was an old man. Me not knowing anything about what to expect did as he asked. He's the doc, right?
I took my top off and allowed him to perform a breast check.

gigibu.bsky.social•10 hours ago

2/it creeper me out, but i wasn't sure if my instinct was wrong or not. Cause there's no way he would SA me, a pregnant woman.
He only checked my breast's. Didn't even check my belly.

2nd gyno: he checked my belly &ONLY my belly.

I never trusted male Doctors again, for anything.

acs2468.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Yeah, that's definitely a doctor thing (and should be reported). There's always been a nurse present during breast exams, and pap smears. In fact, one of my pap smears was done by a female doctor (was there for something else) and still there was a nurse present.

graced61.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can’t blame us for being apprehensive about bringing people from United States into Canada right now. If you’re levelheaded and a Democrat, you’ll probably do well here. And lots of Canadians, well, some Canadians don’t ski or skate. If you really eager to become a true Canadian, you’ll learn.

cleo-thecat.bsky.social•1 day ago

I do not blame you at all. I am all those things, but I'm too old to learn skating or skiing. That's for people who don't care if they break a leg.(see levelheaded) & I've never voted R, although I was conflicted btwn Obama & McCain(Palin sealed it for me).

British Columbia has a shortage. To ease the burden on the doctor shortage they increased what pharmacists can do. Which of course created a pharmacist shortage.
