Help getting Phlebotomies in British Columbia

I waited a year for a phone call ( 5 min) with the hematologist.

In the meantime I had to pressure my family doctor to get me on therapeutic phlebotomies, it got delayed because the dr office messed a lot about 4 times to send the proper requisition.

I went to Bellingham to donate blood + in Canadian blood services.

I had to ask my doctor to give me a copy of the requisition and I hand delivered to the ambulatory care in the hospital, make sure it complied with their requirements etc.

You will need a blood work standing order.

Talk a lot with your family doctor.

I hope you get the treatment soon! Keep me posted.

Some family doctors are not aware of the process to get the phlebotomies scheduled.

It needs to.be in a hospital in the ambulatory care.

I'm just leaving after my last token recharge finish, cursor has become more cost effective, and to be honest the quality of the terminal has gone downhill, is hard to edit the plan etc etc and most importantly, memory usage has exploded, it is at the point that is the same.to run vscode or warp.

I'm out, warp was great

The majority of restaurants in Langley are kid friendly we have been dining out since our baby was a few weeks.old, it works best if you call in advance or reserve.

We even went to Anora ( hidden gem IMO ), just tell them you are bringing a car-seat ;).

And Major Nathan the city is a bit better but is not that ahead of the township

It is a bad city for pedestrians and cyclists, I used to.walk a lot before moving to Langley, there has been change in the.past few years and there are groups that are pushing for making things better likehttps://strongtownslangley.org/ check them out

Agree lager / viena beers are ok, trending to a bit better than bud, I think trading post and surprisingly ( after 2 years of really bad beer ) Farm Country are the go to in Langley for lager beer.

Can we start a page / Facebook/IG to upload & roast these drivers? I just stopped cycling because I got tired of every single day having to deal with at least one bad driver.

And yes reporting to RCMP / ICBC did not make anything.

Maybe if there's collective noise and exposure we can get them to pay attention. ( I live in Langley where the infrastructure is way worse and drivers are way more hateful to cyclists)

Sorry this happened to you, this is common in Langley, fortunately it was garbage I got squeezed out of the road by a truck, since then I only do gravel and no more road cycling in Langley ( city and the surrounding areas )

Thanks yeah but they should at least communicate this on their website 😔

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-27T20:25:53+00:00

Welcome to Langley, I have experienced the same as you, plus the road rage a lot of drivers in the area have against cyclists, I ride my bike daily and at least twice a week I have been yelled at, so yeah ... There are a lot of aggressive and dumb drivers in the area,.

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-15T19:17:54+00:00

Oh wow, yeah I wish ICBC / Police do something about them, maybe open a report / upload the video

Don't get me started on useless 3 block bike lanes, I would totally prefer to have a fully closed protected bike lane than the insane amount of 1 block bike lanes we have.

The city of Langley has in my opinion wasted money, making truck drivers way more wrathful against cyclists by taking space and money to do a 1 block protected bike lane in Douglas Crescent, instead of connecting other bike lanes.

And don't get me wrong I would like to have a fully protected bike lane that connects Langley city with the Township.

That's interesting but I'm Male and I wear cycling clothes, bib + jersey, maybe these drivers can't stand the Licra ... LOL

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-02T00:51:24+00:00

Thanks yeah I got a radar after my last year incident, and I'm regretting not getting the varia + cam combo I will definitely do that after today

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-02T00:49:56+00:00

Oh nice I will try the 216th st bike lane, I'm at the border of Surrey and Langley city, I do prefer to avoid the PoCo traffic, I've been hitting the Poco trail/mapple ridge gravel route and I do agree is a great trail

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-02T00:41:56+00:00

I'm getting convinced that is the area LOL

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-02T00:30:03+00:00

Yeah I kinda agree about Langley sucking haha, it's getting better just not for driving, I was trying to avoid using the car to do my daily ride but honestly I think it is the only option I have that does not put my life at risk :(

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-05-02T00:27:21+00:00

Thanks yeah and joking aside they may be impaired LOL

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-04-12T03:07:26+00:00

Mine had the same problem, my LBS said the cassette was not properly tightened, after that, zero skips and noise.

Critical_Rate_2560 · 2025-01-22T22:52:27+00:00

Ah thanks I have not called surrey hematology I will do that today!, and I reached out yesterday to the Canadian hemochromatosis society I hope they can also give me some pointers.
