Free HealthCare? For Who???

 

I don't really have a salutation for this blurb as I am a bit frustrated today. Without getting too indepth with things, y'all know that we get free healthcare here in Canada, at least in Ontario, I can't speak for the other provinces and territories because it's been a bit since I lived in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick; but here it is supposed to be free.... well let me tell you what that looks like...

For the most part I cannot complain, because I absolutely love my family doctor and would have recommended him over and over to those who needed one. I am very fond of my urologist and my heamtologist/oncologist... It's these specialists I have problems with... They don't communicate with each other, and definitely don't share results or information with my family physician.

There is one HUGE thing that irks me with these specialists... the fact that they feel their time is more valuable than everyone else's. 

One example of that, is my cardiologist (although he is no longer my cardiologist, I got a new one)... I spent 6 hours at his office, two hours past my appointment time, he finally graced me with his presence, spent an hour showing him my list of medications on my phone and he was perturbed that I had the list on my phone rather than a piece of paper. I told him to call my doctor or my pharmacy if he wants a paper copy. Another two hours for testing because I was having heart palpatations right there in his office, so he wanted me to do an ultrasound and EKG, etc... Honestly it was probably just the stress and anxiety of sitting there all day. Finally we meet in his office, where he spent 5 minutes explaining, what's going on with my heart and spends the rest of the time pressuring me to buy the book he wrote... FYI. Buying that book is now a requirement to have him as your cardiologist... so I warn everyone to stay away from him.

Just saying!!!

Be blessed y'all

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
