Health Care Rant

Got a new doctor just in time. My old one is leaving Saskatchewan. This is the 3rd time in a row a doctor I had moved out of province after the 1 year time frame needed to keep the money given them to move here by the Saskatchewan Government. Got to wonder how many of them only came here to get practical experience, and bank the government money, then move to a bigger city to earn more money. I find this reprehensible, but it seems to be happening - it happens just far to many times to think there is another explanation. All new doctors, fresh out of school, and all stay just long enough to be able to keep the money. I seriously hope this new doctor stays here. It is hard A.F. to find a doctor here as we are very short on them in Saskatchewan. Moose Jaw in particular seem to be always short of doctors and a heck of a lot of people never find one, and end up going to the ER, and clogging it, so the wait times are extremely long when someone actually needs the ER, because most of the people tend to be just seeking treatment for aliments that should be treated by a family doctor. We are also VERY short on nurses, so care is being effected and the ones that are here are burning out from being overworked.
I find it extremely annoying that I will have to book an appointment, set up a ride, and go in to see the doctor, just to get my meds renewed. This is a hell of a bother, and I wish to GOD that when prescribed, it did NOT expire after a span of time, unless requested to do so by the prescribing doctor. In the past 100% of my doctors where fine with us just calling the office to have them refill the scip, but they get 6X the money from the government if we go in, so I guess it's all a cash grab. It's not like they won't be busy enough to make a living being we are seriously short on doctors the last many years.
Well, this is a hell of a bother. So I fall and need to go to the ER, and miss an appointment, because an ER trip takes no less than 12 hours, and they may just slap me with a $50 fee to book another appointment? Well WTF is with that, this can't possibly be legal, and it should be prohibited by law to say the least. I'm poor A.F. and don't have $50 to spend on crap like this at all. Again, just a cash grab by people who are supposed to be out there to help people, but money seems to come first every bloody time with almost everyone these days.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
