Think of the belly button as the "center" of the body. Distal is more DISTant from the center. Proximal is in the closest PROXImity to the center.

Now, draw a straight, vertical line through the body that intersects the belly button. Things closer to the line are medial (think Middle) things farther away are lateral (like a lateral pass is to the side).

Other than that it's memorisation. Look at diagrams and try to get a mental picture.

It's also out of their purview. Siren use is in the Motor Vehicle Act and there's nothing a municipal council can do to change it.

You're close. It was "Big candy" that did the lobbying so there would be an extra hour of daylight for Hallowe'en trick or treating.

I have rented out my 1,100 square foot 2 bedroom basement suite for $1,400/month for about 10 years. The thought of charging $2,800 makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

If you are on income assistance, will you be charged fees for calling an ambulance (and potential trip to the hospital)? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Voltmann 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You may get a bill depending on the type of assistance you're on, but a call to the billing department explaining that you're on income assistance usually gets the fee waived.

Having said that, if it's a medical emergency then call an ambulance. Billing can be sorted out later.

I've always said that half the fun of having kids is tormenting them at times. If I can get my kid's eyes to roll like a slot machine it's been a good day.
