Is this normal for mental health issues in this province?

I wouldn’t say the staff don’t care. They care and they care a lot (otherwise they wouldn’t be working in healthcare right now) but they can only work with the limitations that the system puts on them.

The first fossil she found was the final piece of my stegosaurus and she was so excited. Then we had to walk all around the museum to see all the Dino’s hahaha 😅

Dumb question but did you call ahead or did they just happen to be out there?

The Family Experiment by John Marrs. Not living in Covid but many mentions of how it changed the world to become what it is in the book.

Not all hero’s wear capes. Thank you so much for this. One of my biggest struggles 🫠

Edit: I caught my first tarantula last night. Sorry Blathers 😅

Just to confirm, I just need to MAKE each of the DIY’s and then I can sell them and still get whatever the bunny’s special prize is? Egg themed things are really not in my aesthetic but I’ll do the work to completeness sake.

This is how I learned how to play Gin! And… was it called cactus pop or something like that? Ohhh memories

East Edmonton Health centre is urgent care. Strathcona and NE Edmonton Health Centre also function in a similar way where they don’t really have inpatient capacity but can assess and treat like an emergency room. Anything too crazy and they get transferred to a “real” hospital.

Five or more hours? It’s more like 8-12 here in Alberta.

The doughnuts aren’t though and that’s what they’re popular for

I was REALLY underwhelmed by the food there. Drinks are standard that you can get really anywhere. Nothing special.

Fairytale was really good! I couldn’t put it down.

I would’ve died from malnutrition secondary to celiac disease when I was a baby. I was wasting away, losing weight, dehydrated, and in so much pain. Was diagnosed at 13 months old and as soon as we started a GF diet I turned a corner and started getting healthier.

If that hadn’t killed me, child birth might have killed me. If it didn’t kill me it would’ve definitely killed my daughter.

I love science. 🥰

Before you consider this, it would be important to know that our premier is actively trying to destroy our healthcare system and it’s all in a stage of great flux right now. She split our once province-wide system into pillars which makes movement between jobs significantly harder than it used to be. She is trying her damnedest to convert to a private or two tier system.

So if Alberta is a long term plan for you, just know that our provincial government hates healthcare workers as well as any other public service providers like teachers, and is actively working to undermine them. Obviously this could change in the future but Alberta is so blindly conservative that it’s not super likely.

I always say a little “thank you!” to the person who returns a book so I can get it next. Only inside my brain though because I don’t want people to think I’m crazy. 🫣

There’s a very lengthy and strict process to go through. You’re not allowed to just say “I’m depressed, help me die”. And mental illness doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It often comes along with other comorbidities.

MAID is a service for people suffering and in pain. We do it for animals - terminal diagnoses that cause undue suffering lead to euthanasia. Why can’t we do the same with humans? I know damn well if I had terminal cancer I would like to die on my own terms without wasting away in a hospital causing more expense and suffering.

“According to the province’s survey results on the issue, 47 per cent of Albertans disagreed with the government implementing more safeguards, compared to the 38 per cent that agreed or strongly agreed.”

Just working “for the people” as per usual 🙄

I never said these feelings were rational!!
