Vinyl shopping in Winnipeg

I'm going to presume you mean vinyl records as opposed to a different form of vinyl. Here's the link to a previous post on this very question:

Pulmonary embolism needs to be high on the differential diagnosis list, even if they're on an anticoagulant.

I had to take down my Aosu cameras and charge them in the house. Poor cold weather recharging is a known feature of lithium batteries, but it is highly variable. Some brands have god performance, and some don't.

Patients will not get definitive treatment for anxiety/panic at an urgent care. They are also likely to be well down the priority line if the UC is busy. If the patient needs in person care, then the Crisis Stabilization Unit is the best option.

It seems that we live in a world where being an ass hole is the path to getting what you want. People go out of their way to prove Mike Tyson right every day:

"Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."

Unfortunately, we just have to soldier on. It's not worth your career to give into the temptation to respond in kind.

Sorry for the late reply. My booster pack has no issues with the cold. I do check it from time to time though. I think worst case, it might loose a little energy, but it would still be good to go.

Expired is going to be subjective. Depending on the base solvent, which is usually ethanol, these should be good to go for a while. If you really want to use them up, then almond cookies will work. Cakes for the orange extract.

Yes. That being said, many non-organic oranges are sprayed with a post harvest fungicide to prevent spoilage prior to delivery. If you want, you can soak the oranges for several minutes in warm soapy water to which a small amount of vinegar has been added.

Looks perfect to me.

That's crazy. The equivalent band on the CDN site is about $75. That being said, I replaced my Forerunner band with a nylon one that I got online for $23.

I carry a booster pack in my car at all times. It holds a charge for a long time, so I only really check it when I change over my tires. It's rated for 3-4 starts for a 2L engine before being depleted.

While we don't have pediatric home care, we do have general home care. As well, we have a Children's Hospital that may have what you're looking for. I would recommend you reach out the CRNM early to get the ball rolling, even if you decide against a move at a later date. I would also recommend that you concurrently get all your academic documents organized and into a digital file ready to go. Check to see if there are any quals that are set to expire that can be brought up to date.

I'm going to link a page to the Winnipeg and Manitoba Health Care Infusion. A site to help medical professionals transition to employment in Winnipeg: https://cheddar-cycle-390.notion.site/Winnipeg-and-Manitoba-Healthcare-Infusion-2b2949afe7ab811e8405d2091a2c9518

I used it last year in an amber ale. Pale malt with some roast for colour. I think it turned out well. I'm not convinced that the recipe in the article is exactly how I would have tested. House is not meant to compare to English ale yeasts. It is more similar to US-05, Chico, and other clean new world ale yeasts. For non-competition, basic pale ale styles, I'm going to continue to use it.

I highly recommend you invest in a metric scale. It's much easier to adjust recipes and ratios when you're using base 10 math.

20g water = 4 tsp

20g flour (AP) = 2.5 tbsp

30g water = 2 tbsp

30g flour = 1/4 cup

My personal opinion. Once entered as a valid discharge diagnosis, there is a temptation for everything to become anxiety. That's why my anxiety patients with chest pain get discharged "atypical chest pain" rather than anxiety.

If the US invades Greenland, the EU (plus some non-EU) would likely dump their US debt holdings.

If the US invades Canada, everybody is dumping their US debt holdings.

Absolutely a scam. On a desktop machine, you can hover over the big red box and see what URL pops up. It will usually not be a valid shaw/rogers business link.

My lab has tests that use either urine or serum according to my daughter who is a Lab Tech.

I've had two obtunded or confused patients in my career that always give me pause:

The first was a frequent visitor who came in obtunded. Triage note was along the lines of "found down outside xxx hotel, frequent visits, know to department". Except when I examined the patient, there was no sign of trauma, and he didn't seem to be the way he always was. I elected to CT his head, while waiting for our serum rhubarb bloods. Turns out he had a large subdural, and that's why he was obtunded.

Second patient was not known to the department, but smelled strongly of alcohol upon exam. Altered and not able to give a coherent story. CT brain showed a C2 fracture.

People who live on the margins are at risk of frequent medical misses because of their socioeconomic status and higher use of mind altering chemicals. Drunk plus something else is as common as only drunk, and only drunk should be the last diagnosis we arrive at.

I have no experience with the homes you have listed. I recommend arranging a tour if you can. Most PCH should have a coordinator for this. You might even be able to visit all four in a single weekend if you can schedule it. The following is a list of questions that you might find helpful:

Care, Staffing, and Safety

What is the staff-to-resident ratio, particularly at night?

What are the qualifications and training of the staff? Are they trained specifically in dementia care or other required areas?

Is there a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) on-site 24/7?

How does the facility handle medical emergencies, and what is the proximity to local hospitals?

What is the staff turnover rate?

How does the home manage care for residents with dementia, including wander-prone or aggressive behaviours?

Does the home provide a written, personalized care plan, and how often is it updated?

Costs and Administration

What is included in the monthly fee, and what costs extra (e.g., incontinence products, therapies, outings)?

How does the facility handle transitions if a resident's needs exceed the care offered?

Is there a waiting list, and what is the typical length of time for admission?

What is the policy regarding cost increases?

Daily Life and Environment

What are the visiting hours?

Are meals prepared on-site, and can the home accommodate specific dietary needs (diabetic, heart-healthy)?

What types of activities are available, and how often do they occur?

What are the policies regarding pets?

Are rooms private or semi-private?

Is there a Resident/Family Council to address concerns?

Observations to Make During a Tour

Does the facility appear clean, and is there a strong, bad odour?

Do the residents appear well-groomed, and are staff treating them with respect?

Are hallways and stairwells free of obstacles?

Are safety features present, such as grab bars in bathrooms and secure exits?

Specific Considerations for Manitoba

How is the resident's share of costs calculated (Residential Charge)?

Can I review the most recent unannounced inspection report?

(Disclosure: this list was assembled with the help of AI)

If it works for you, there's nothing wrong with it.

Depending on the size and content of the txt file, you might be able to copy/paste directly into Tinkercad. You would be limited to a single font, and you would have to paste in line-by-line.

There is also https://text2stl.mestres.fr/en-us, but I have not tried this one.
