Wow 300 bucks?  Man the same procedure would put you back about 1,500 here.  If you had the insurance for it you'd also do about a dozen scans as well.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

[grallon]I'm surprised Her Majesty's government tolerates the absolute refusal to assimilate on behalf of these filthy dirty Neanderthals. They should be given a simple choice: either learn English and behave like a proper Westerner or get shipped off to whatever shithole in France you came from. [/grallon]

When you speak German to a Francophone they usually learn English pretty damn quickly.

Yeah but then again French people are prone to capitulating in the presence of Germans.

I love how he's all upset about the folks speaking french  :huh:

LOL is this what you read from this article? The doctor spoke English to other people yet snobbishly refused to speak English to a distressed parent of an injured child who obviously did not speak French and you interpret it as "being upset about the folks speaking french"?  :lol:

More relevant to here of course; we have a positive outlook on life contrary to the negative view of many other countries.
To the British the world is a wonderful, perfect place by default. Hence any deviation there upon must be noted.
Many others though seem to believe the world to be a absolute shit hole by default and any minor improvement on that needs praising to the ends of the earth.
:huh: The British are definitely not viewed as optimists on this side of the pond.

I don't think I would call them optimists. It's more the case of having exceedingly low expectations when dealing with all the savages who are not subjects of the Queen (at least that's my experience when dealing with various Brit friends who visited Poland - they often marveled at stuff we consider crappy here :P).

I consider that an extra benefit.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't always (or often) agree with him, but he is funny. He'd be a great addition to this forum. :)

Is private care really banned in Canada?

Anyway, I don't see how it would have improved the situation. I doubt anyone would risk funding a private ER unit in the middle of nowhere.

Yes and No.

Doctors can not charge for services provided for under the Canada Health Act (most basic services) but they can and do charge for services not covered under the act.  So, for example, I pay a premium to get services in addition to the basic services covered by the government.
