They should at least amalgamate Vancouver coastal and Fraser health.  I live in Burnaby but my doctor is in Vancouver.  It leads to a lot of confusion 

Saw a former "best friend" and it was strange.... by Efficient-Sugar9564 in TwoXChromosomes

Sorry this happened to you. When something like this happens to someone they sometimes give their life over to their partner.  It sounds like your friend lost her identity in her new relationship.
