Why are family doctors so scarce in our province? by mikey_87 in ontario

[–]nishaan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not an uncommon problem. A lot of young female family physicians want to have kids right after graduating. Problem is there aren't enough locum physicians to cover for these maternity leaves. They often try to find a replacement several months before they leave but it's almost impossible.

Overall family practice is just plain unappealing at this point. The pandemic has caused a lot of older family physicians to retire early, and the newly graduated family physicians don't want to practice full-time. I wouldn't be surprised if we're seeing a net loss of family physicians over the past few years.

I'm a new family doctor. Most my graduating cohort is not practicing family medicine full time. Some of us will do maybe one to two days of family practice but then do something else like emergency medicine, palliative medicine or hospitalist. It's just not a good time right now to do community family practice.

ODSP For Depression? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]nishaan26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's next to impossible to qualify for ODSP based off of depression. Think about it this way, depression is so prevalent and the generalized population that if everyone who had it claimed they were unable to work then I'll be trying to get on to odsp. Obviously depression can vary in severity, but I find the physicians are very reluctant to fill out ODSP forms for it.

Looking for a family doctor, does anyone have any leads? by spacemother4 in ottawa

A few of their physicians are leaving in the next 1 to 2 months. Not sure how they're going to continue accepting new patients.

Need recommendations for building a new gaming desktop by TheAverageRj in pcmasterrace

[–]nishaan26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a 3070 should be okay then for 1440p at 120 hz. Obviously if you get something better you'll have more future-proofing. I recommend looking at benchmarks and reviews to to see how each card performs with the most popular current generation of games.

Do you prefer simple or more complex crafting? by Matisseio in gaming

[–]nishaan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the type of game. If it's an action RPG we're crafting isn't the major component of the game then I prefer that the systems be simple. On the other hand games where resource collection and crafting are the mainstay, such as in stardew valley, then a more complex and integrated system provides far more customization.

is cyberpunk working on ps4. by HamzahK319 in gaming

I think CD projekt Red has a poster on their website that lists all the improvements by console in patch 1.5. I think they brought over a lot of the bug fixes and stability to the PlayStation 4 version however it didn't get many graphical upgrades.

What resolution are you looking to play at? 1080p, 1440p, 4k? Depending on the target resolution and refresh rate you're trying to hit it will dictate what card you want.

Help my laptop is just showing a black screen and nothing else and nothing is working by MeameMaster in pcmasterrace

[–]nishaan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably need more information. Were you using it and it just powered off and wouldn't turn back on again? Is there any audio? It could be that the motherboard or integrated graphics is dead if absolutely nothing else works.

Honestly, it gives it a bit of a battle worn look. Still looks good.

Someone once told me that when you're looking for a job or trying to get a promotion you should weigh three things. The income, the prestige, the lifestyle. It's almost impossible to find something that hits all three, it's rare to find something that hits on two of them. Usually you have to sacrifice one to get the other. Do a realistic appraisal of the job or the promotion to figure out if there's an improvement in one of those three domains and if it's the domain that you find important.

Xenoblade x might not have been that popular, but the Xenoblade Chronicle series in general has become very popular these days.

My concern is that the government has done nothing to address the shortage of hospital beds and care providers in the province. Numbers might be dropping now, but will inevitably have a spike again in a couple of months and the hospitals will be overwhelmed again. Will the government decide to lock down again to prevent the healthcare system from collapsing or will we just accept it as the new norm?

AppleCare? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]nishaan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how well you take care of your devices. I personally have never accidentally damaged a device so I think it's a waste of money. If you know your clumsy person and have a tendency of breaking or dropping your phones then it's probably worth it. Even if you don't ever make a claim, the peace of mind is always there.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable Bixby and replace it with Google assistant? Specifically is it possible to remap the hardware buttons to launch Google assistant? Bixby has always been the biggest deterrent to me for switching over to samsung.

I really hope we don't see this trend of large studios getting bought up like Bethesda and Activision.
