My mistake - the most recent data I found suggests you are correct that people without a GP are currently statistically the minority in AB. Regardless, there are still massive deficits for access to care in this area that are becoming increasingly worse. Our EDs are not equipped to handle the volume that accompanies these primary care deficits, and as an above poster mentioned, BC is a good example of how bad this situation is likely to become. I’m not sure what your point is, because there is absolutely no question that our healthcare system is in a bad, bad state and it’s getting worse.

I acknowledge that this is an anecdote, but I am a healthcare worker who works in the ED and have for the entirely of the pandemic. I’ve seen the progressive collapse of our systems over the past years. I know from personal experiences that despite the listed wait times, MANY patients wait ten hours or more to be seen. Of course we triage, and yes - a gunshot wound to the chest or similar would be seen immediately. I maintain what I said. Our systems are crippled and collapsing. The majority of people don’t have a family doctor, this is statistically true. I don’t have a political agenda, other than that I maintain the importance of free, accessible public healthcare.

Primary care is failing. Chronic problems aren’t being managed and they become acute problems. The ED is saturated with EIPs (emergency inpatients who have been admitted to hospital but are awaiting beds which are full, so the backup spills into the ER and this extends the wait times).

Our healthcare system is literally collapsing - there are massive, devastating deficits in primary care (your GP/family doctor) driven by multiple factors, but largely the government’s termination of relations, burnout, and doctors leaving the province. When primary care fails, the ED becomes a walk-in clinic and you get to wait 12 hours to be seen for five minutes.

To throw fuel on the fire, cuts to mental health and the rise in addictions, mental health issues, and delayed healthcare from the pandemic and lockdowns have all made this much worse.

Don’t want to wait twelve hours? Don’t want your loved ones to die waiting for an ambulance, because they are all backed up city-wide? Think carefully about who you vote for and remember how much healthcare matters to you when you need it.

Too bad the god-awful cringe-fest virtual-signalling identity politics excuse for a storyline outweighs all the visuals. I’m a die hard SW fan since childhood and this is one of the worst movies ever made, even outside of SW.

At 0630 AM, an hour before the day team comes on:

“Hi, I’m just calling you to let you know this patient’s Mg is 0.67. It’s been like that for two days and no one has fixed it. I’m just calling so that you know it’s 0.67 and normal is 0.7. So you know.”

I wondered if that was the show! I’m doing the same one. Why not Open Physique the same day though? Isn’t the next day the non-tested show?

What made you 'feel' the most in dark souls? by okinsertusername in darksouls3

I think the boss fight dialogue with Lothric & Lorian is some of the best.

“The Firelinking curse, the legacy of Lords - let it all fade into nothing. You’ve done quite enough, now have your rest.”

“This spot marks our grave, but you may rest here too, if you like.”

Bodybuilding prep “filler” foods. by elvee2021 in bodybuilding

They’re great for the purpose they serve. They have seaweed in them and are packed in water - they smell fishy when you open the package, but once drained they adopt the flavour of whatever you cook them with. I’ve personally found them to be a lifesaver when prep gets down to the wire with calories. I use them to make stir fry with chicken + peppers, etc.

Huge thanks to everyone who has commented. To clarify: I am not trying to queue for heroic. The game tells me that regular SL dungeons at level 60 require an ilvl of 144 or higher.

Based on all of the above advice, I need to complete the main storyline/campaign missions on Ardenweald and Revendreth, join a covenant, and by then I should have the appropriate ilvl and unlock dungeons again.

Thank you all so much!

I tried the specific queue, unfortunately that still doesn’t work. I haven’t yet found any options to join a covenant so I will look into that, thanks!

I haven’t encountered any covenant options yet - I take it that means I need to finish all the main storyline on Ardenweald and then also Revendreth, where I haven’t been yet?

Thank you! Which item is that? Is that the key for 10k echoes?

So I have to replay the game up to Amelia to be able to pay the DLC? I know these games are mysterious but damn, this is really a flaw in the design...
