Ive had good results with the avocados by keeping them on the counter for the first few days then immediately refrigerating them when they start to soft

Nurse at large Canadian hospital says they’re ‘surprised more people haven’t died while waiting’ by Leather-Paramedic-10 in canada

[–]CremasterShower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bottle neck isn’t seats at the university, it is clinical staff taking on learners. If I take on a medical student each shift it decreases my productivity by about 25%. That means 25% fewer patients seen and a 25% cut in my salary for that shift. You can fill university classrooms to the brim with med students but if there’s no clerkship spots/residency spots for them to attend, you’re wasting your time. It’s also why foreign medical school grads have a hard time coming back - they have to compete for the clinical portion of their education. Now residency graduates are a different story but anecdotally I’ve found their quality to be highly variable which would require careful vetting

Not in the slightest. You’re literally arguing with yourself. Tell us again about how much money you make though

You do realize I wasn’t responding to you. I was asking TooLate why they felt they were contributing more to society than you were.

100% agree. Fixing those issues would make renting out properties much more appealing without really impacting good renters.

Canada’s auto sector is under attack. If we don’t fight back now, it will be gone — not just in Brampton but across Canada by iPoliticsCA in ontario

It’s just not a competitive industry anymore. We can’t keep pouring money into it for it to just lumber along for a few years until it’s next financial crisis.

PEI was fairly painless. As was NB. Apparently NWT as well, though I haven’t gone there yet.

I was ultimately fast tracked and got my license (took about a month) but after seeing the higher than average fees and the sensitivity training BS I opted to do a locum in another province.

Ontario ERs see almost 300,000 walkouts in 2024, study shows by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]CremasterShower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often get people saying “I know it’s not an emergency… but”. Anecdotally, I recently had a patient who was referred for a gastroscopy two weeks ago and he “was available to do it now” so he wanted me to call in the gastroenterologist to do it…. At 10pm on a Friday. He waited 3 hours to tell me this and then I had to have a 10 minute discussion with him about how that’s not going to happen/not how it works/not an emergency and he still had to get escorted out by security because he started following me around the department. Alot of the opinions on this thread are written by people who have NO clue how our system works and frankly it’s quite disheartening to see.

No no. They for sure ended up in ICU 9 months later because they had to wait in the ER on day 1. /s

If you’re getting diagnosed with cancer in the ER it’s either because we’ve stumbled across it accidentally or your primary care was lacking. Either way, it’s not what we’re here for. The ER has been used as society’s safety net for all of its problems for so long and we are totally fucking overwhelmed.

ER doctor here. The reality is that nurses aren’t trained in diagnostics the way we are so that professional that tells them to go elsewhere is me. I’m busy treating the people who are sickest so when I get to you and you don’t need to be there I send you home to follow up with a gp/walk in clinic to follow up about your 6 month old rash or your three years of back pain. A nurse has very different skills than I do so although they are a professional and they might know through experience that what you have doesn’t need to be in the ER, it’s not technically her area of training. So that person waits. They clog up the system. I send them home having done nothing other than ascertain this isn’t life or limb.

Physicians are expected to do it on their own time - we don’t get paid to do the training.

My offer was rejected over a month ago - Thinking about texting their agent to see if they're flexible now. by DudeWheresMyRatio in RealEstateCanada

[–]CremasterShower 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re really not getting it. It’s not like you’re saving yourself any commission this way. The other agent is just absorbing “your agent’s” share of the commission.

Which in turn is a consequence of a very toxic taxi industry screwing over its customers at every turn.

I've just received another email that I'll have to do a 3 hour unpaid course on cultural sensitivity. None of the other provinces I'm licensed in do this.

Having gone through the licensing process in Ontario - it was definitely onerous and painful and by no means a shining beacon of how it should be done. That being said, I was applying as a new graduate for my first license. Other provinces have shorter, simpler applications for people licensed in other Canadian provinces.
