An NHL hockey player is injured and they are getting their MRI that day. Don't know too many workers that get anything nearly the same.

With health care in crisis and a real risk that MLAs and their buddies might lose access to limited resources, looks like a study has been commissioned to show that expediting care for WCB claimants doesn't have a meaningful impact on return to work timelines so it should be cut!

Paying more or less than Alberta?

Why would their opinion be important?
Posted 21 June 2022 - 09:45 AM
So any details about the bonuses? or the contracts?

Incentives deal falls short, family-medicine residents say
--They say more attention needs to be paid to overhead costs, physician burnout and long-term strategy --
Times Colonist June 22
Family-medicine residents studying at the University of B.C. have written to health-care leaders to say a two-year deal they’ve been offered fails to address soaring overhead costs, fails to increase fees physicians can charge for services, neglects the issue of physician burnout, and lacks collaboration and a long-term strategy.

Which reminds me...now that the NDP have close to $800 million that isn't spoken for, any chance I might get a family doctor in the foreseeable future?

Sure, easy to get a family doctor, move to the US

No one has been willing to give me a Green Card marriage.

Enter the US green card lottery, you might get lucky.

Even Alberta if you can stand the weather. I was just talking to a neighbour yesterday. His daughter recently moved there and got a family doctor immediately. He’s not so lucky. He tried to register at the JB UPCC and was told they have 2,700 names on the waiting list. Eventually he was able to get a prescription renewal but is still looking for someone to order up some medical tests he needs.
I also encountered my old (now retired) family doctor on the street. He could only shake his head at Dix’s latest scheme, done without consultation and which doesn’t address any of the underlying issues. He also told me that he offered to work at the JB UPCC on a one quarter time basis but they were only interested in full time positions.

Time for people to actually pick up the phone or write Horgan and tell him he has lost their vote and this needs to get fixed today. Stop screwing around with Woke Plans for medicine and just damn well pay GP more, more than they can get in the US for that matter. Suck it up and stop with all the social engineering.

How Mark Cuban's New Drug Company Sells Medications With Huge Discounts
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban's new company, which is less than six months old, is selling hundreds of generic, commonly used medications with absolutely massive cost cuts. And I mean massive. Perusing the price tags will make your jaw drop.
The generic version of Actos -- prescribed for patients with diabetes and typically sold for $74.40 at standard pharmacies -- is available for $6.60, according to the website. The generic version of Apriso -- prescribed for patients with gastrointestinal disease and sold for $122.70 at standard pharmacies -- goes for $36.60.
And that's just a snippet. The medication ledger of the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company (yes, that's the full name) is long. The drugs treat conditions ranging from mild migraines to acid reflux to cancer to neurological disorders. It also sells the generic versions of a variety of mental health medications like Wellbutrin, used to treat depression, and Adapin, sometimes prescribed for anxiety.
