Re: Local newspaper stories
more than two million Canadians don’t take prescription drugs as prescribed because they can’t afford it.
And if you're having infusion treatments that could be done in a hospital but, instead, are done at clinics, why do you have to pay just because it's done at a clinic? Do they arrange for it outside of a hospital so it's not counting as hospital treatment and 'saves' money?

Oliver isn't a big place, so this is a big deal. Back in the day, it used to be the Reopel Hotel:

I've never really understood this about the Canadian system, especially when you come out of hospital needing a drug to complete the recovery and you can't necessarily have it.

I have only had infusion medications once, for about 10 days, but it was done in hospital so no cost.
Every patient the hospital treats for something comes from their annual budget.

It's the cheese we have to worry about.

Made me think of Ferdinand Waldo Demara; ever since seeing the movie with Tony Curtis way back when, I've thought it a fascinating story.

Looks like Chilliwack Hospital is short staff, and will be closing their maternity unit for undisclosed period of time. Abbotsford is next closest hospital about 30 minutes to the west.

Something to keep in mind if deciding to live in more remote places.
