Yes there is a nurse and doctor shortage in BC and some BC Dr’s have stated they will set up places for ppl to do drugs inside hospitals whether they have permission to do it or not. The druggy lobby here is strong despite only 2% of ppl doing drugs other than pot and hash. ---

> [@NicksCafe](#): > > It doesn’t seem like anything has changed after that murder. There are two ways to interpret that. If you mean United hasn’t woken up and changed its ways so that people don’t despise them anymore, well, when your business model is to deny healthcare to as many people as possible, that’s unlikely. If you mean murdering that guy was pointless, true, but many people see this as a war and in war, killing one person never drastically changes anything. You have to kill a lot of people before one side surrenders. Not that I’m hoping for that or anything. 🙂 ---

> [@DthBreath](#): > > Beware of Michele. Her loyalty to Dusty. Her desire to be away from him if he grants it and what she seeks. Mark, when you started talking smack about Isa several years ago (with her on speaker, no less), I hung up on you and never talked to you again on the phone. I fully expect Michele will treat you the same way if you disrespect her husband and family. You don’t have a lot of friends, Mark. I suggest you consider whether it’s worth it before burning more bridges. ---

That’s a lie. I told you be wary about anyone stopping you. Somebody having a bad day or rash irritation or dysfunction ---

Did you somehow think the new CEO was going to work his magic and improve the system? He was with GlaxoSmithKline before. At best, he works the deny, defend, depose system to his advantage. I have no faith in him or his ability to make anything better, especially after reading his tribute to Thompson, while simultaneously ignoring the pleas of sick people. > [@DthBreath](#): > > Her desire to be away from him if he grants it and what she seeks. Hubby wants to know what I seek and since you’re intimately involved in our relationship he has requested you share. ---

I wanted to document here a health issue I’m having, in case I don’t survive this. A couple of weeks ago a dense fog blanketed the U.S. Immediately, I came down with a headache and a little bit of a scratchy throat. For a couple of days I believe I was running fever but it passed and I thought I was getting better. Unfortunately, from that point on, I have woke up every morning with a new or more intense symptom from a drippy nose to sneezing and a cough. It’s midnight and I was awakened by burning in my throat and lungs when I tried to cough. There is a lot of pain when I try to swallow. I feel it in my ears and I really am concerned that it may get worse. Dusty took a round of Ivermectin several weeks ago. Thankfully, he’s fine. ---

I hope you get well soon, Michele. ChatGPT says: > The symptoms described (headache, fever, throat pain, coughing, ear pain, and burning sensation in the lungs) could indicate a respiratory infection, such as influenza, bronchitis, or even something more serious like pneumonia. The burning throat and lung symptoms might suggest irritation or inflammation of the respiratory tract.
