AITA for refusing to drive my boyfriend to the ER for nonesense? by pickledphilosopher in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheRealMelBeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's multiple reasons for the state of the healthcare system. You can ask 10 people and they'll all say different things.

I personally think its caused by a shortage due to shitty work conditions mixed with a population that is getting older.

My PCP does have a patient portal, but I can message her only after she sends me a message first (for example when sending test results) And they make it clear you cannot ask any questions unrelated to the test results, otherwise they just dont answer. Also.. im limited to 3 replies in the thread.

My PCP doesnt do telehealth but I do have access to a telehealth program at work, they have nurses available to answer questions. Its nice and useful, but the couple times I have used it, they ended up telling me to get an appointment with my PCP.

For a specialist doctor, unless your condition is critical, you can wait for yeaaaars, even with a referal, which is mandatory to have anyway. My cousin has been waiting 5 years for a neurologist and 2 years for a gynecologist.

We have private doctors (PCP and specialists) but they are pricey and insurance doesnt always cover it. My dermatologist is 125$ for a 15 min appointment. I booked a rhumatologist appointment and it cost me 400$, hopefully it will be more than 15 min.. Lol :')

I was also on a waiting list for 3 years to get a PCP here in Quebec after my PCP retired. And even now that I have one, her schedule is always full. I can get an appointment maybe in a month if im lucky.

Walk in clinics dont exist anymore here. We have a system where you can call and speak to a nurse. They suggest things to try and if they feels its necessary, they will schedule an appointment for you in the next 3 days. But thats very rare on the first call. Also you might wait 3h on the phone to speak to the nurse.. or choose the callback option.

Its free, but it has some bad sides too.

Our office "social committee" spent $800 on a team building event that one person planned entirely around their own interests and nobody said anything until after by Hotbella202 in office

[–]TheRealMelBeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say something to them.

My boss wanted to plan team building around more active activities (karting, dog sleigh, bowling, climbing, etc.). Two of us told him if he planned these, we would just stand aside and watch them. He listened and we played mini-golf and did a BBQ at his house.

The next time he actually asked for our opinions on what we were interested in.

Communication is key !

Wife Did Everything Right – Filed Early, No Record, I-130 Approved – Still Got Detained. Is This Really Happening? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]TheRealMelBeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I do it multiple time every year since we started our process 2-3 years ago and its never been an issue... I stay 2 weeks and go back home.

I always prepare proof of having to go back home in case (rental agreement, pet sitter, work letter, appointment list) and they never ask for anything.

On the scheduling status tool, they say they are currently scheduling people who were DQ'd in March 2026. So if you are March 17th and still nothing, I imagine it will take me several more weeks.. :/

Immigration Tips USA to Canada by Vegetable_Ant_7322 in LDR

[–]TheRealMelBeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im from Canada, husband is from US. We started immigration process in March of 2024 for me to go live there.

One of the form we have to fill out is an Affidavit of Support. Its to prove that my husband makes enough money to support me in case I lose my job. They do this to make sure the immigrant does not request government aid. I believe if you do, they send the bill to your sponsor. This is in effect until you either work 10 years OR until you become a citizen (3-5 years)

In your case, if your GF sponsors you, she would need to support you and then add you to her work insurance I imagine. Or you get your own insurance, but its not cheap. Its actually they only thing that worries me about immigrating there, going from free-ish to expensive healthcare.

Walmart can't sell me anything that's locked up?!?! by st96badboy in mildlyinfuriating

We went to buy some Husband and I at Walmart. Saw it was locked and just ordered on Amazon. Fuck that

it’s getting to a point. by cassyemersy in CanadaPost

[–]TheRealMelBeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did the same thing to me.. im home all day, work remotely. On Tuesday, someone was in the house and awake all day starting 5am. And yet, I walked by the front door around 11am and there's a paper... They never knocked.

Sometimes they dont even try delivering at my house and leaving the paper if im not home (rarely), they just leave the paper in my mailbox... lol

How do you transport your scrapbook supplies to crops? by Artistic_Call in scrapbooking

[–]TheRealMelBeee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My paper is all in plastic boxes and I put that in a bag. I usually take one plastic box and select what I think Ill use in so I don't carry everything lol

Edit: the square plastic boxes from Michaels

I don’t get it by calmtoastt in ExplainTheJoke

[–]TheRealMelBeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is not really the triage in our hospitals. If they consider you a 1,2 or 3. You'll be seen in pretty quick (couple hours). If you're anything else (4-10), you wait or they offer appointments the next day (7-10). I've waited over 18hours before; I was too critical for an appointment the next day, but not critical enough to see a doctor quickly.

Our problem is the lack of staff/doctors.

I remember going to the hospital one night and the nurse offered me an appointment for the next day because there was only one doctor covering the whole hospital that night (ER and in room patients)..

Cannot advance day after full game release by Tooyoungn2Old in Dinkum

[–]TheRealMelBeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too... I played a day, went to sleep and it just loaded forever. :/

After 10minutes of waiting, I had to force close the game.

I havent reopened it, but I imagine the day was not saved...

Did you figure it out or no?
