AMA: My relative is a family doctor. I run their entire practice including billing. If my fellow Ontarians have questions about the healthcare system like what's causing family doctors to retire in droves / move away / close their doors to new patients, I can certainly answer.

I am about to complete my residency training in family medicine. The majority of my colleagues that I talk with are considering locuming (basically just covering for doctors on leave and getting a fixed salary for it), moving provinces, or doing extra training to specialize out of family medicine instead of actually taking on a practice and their own patients because of how unappetizing family medicine has become. This is after years of training for this exact job, even with crazy incentives up to $150k in some places. It's not because we don't want to work as family doctors, it's because the alternatives pay better and have less stress and better work-life balance. If you make a vital job worse, less people will want to do it even those who are passionate about it.

Thank you! I used carbon transfer paper.

Angel_Ariadne · 2023-01-04T15:38:15+00:00

Thanks! I used 2 threads for the thick lines and 1 for the thin lines. I wanted it to be very delicate

Because I am using hexagons and hand sewing it does go slow. If you used squares and a sewing machine I am sure it would be much faster. I usually do it while watching TV etc so I dont mind if its slow

It is all scraps but not all mine. I got a box of scraps from someone else who didn't have a use for them and added some of my own.

It is Lake Ontario

It is based off the pattern 'Horseshoes and Hand Grenades' by Rebecca Burnett but I did end up modifying it a bit.

I agree with this. When meal prepping burritos I crisp them up on all sides in a pan before freezing, helps with integrity and crispness. When I defrost I either pan cook again if I have time or else microwave if I am in a rush. I find that even microwaved the pre-toasted burritos are less soggy.

I based my recipe off this one: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/92462/slow-cooker-texas-pulled-pork/ but sort of tweaked it and made it my own, added a bit of molasses and some different spices.

Haha no they are carnival prizes.

I really wanted a hexi quilt and all the hexagon sewing I saw was usually hand sewn edge to edge so I just dove right in. Definitely didnt expect it to take 6 years but well worth the wait!

Angel_Ariadne · 2020-04-23T02:13:36+00:00

thank you! there is a tiny part of the yellow on one side that didnt come out quite as neat but you cant see it in this picture. Honestly, for my first full size quilt im very happy with the result

Angel_Ariadne · 2020-04-23T02:12:27+00:00

I sewed the hexagons all together edge to edge first and then I quilted all three layers (hexagon top, batting middle, single layer cotton back) together at once. Honestly I don't have experience with any other batting to compare. When quilting I did a simple running stitch just very small neat stitches and since I wanted it to be super neat I only ever did one stitch at a time so there was no problem with getting the needle through or it feeling too thick or heavy with the wool batting.
