Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
That seems decent of them, it isn't something they can control. My friend caught a beer bottle in the back once in a bar from one of the girls we had to keep moving out of the lobby at conventions, but that was the worst, and we were in their bar anyway. I used to tell them if you have a room to go to I don't care, but no trolling, Once outside the parkade a pimp said something about it but I think I just said sorry that's the rules.

Had to knock on the door to rouse my mate, going back to the bathroom in case the occupants of the next room came out instead.
Took about three goes.

When I did that I walked along to the elevators and used the phone there to call down to the lobby and explain the situation. "No problem" said the helpful front desk person "just come to the desk and show some i.d.".

That's nice. What about if you went into Emerge, got checked over/repaired/sent home as it's only bruised ribs etc and they gave a prescription for percocet or something?
My mother in law tells me that in Quebec she had to pay $2 for a dressing when her husband was treated.

Crutches and slings you pay for. Plaster of Paris cast is free, fibre glass you pay for.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
A couple of years ago, my wife had a heart attack, she spent a week in Western Hospital in London Ontario getting stents and other treatments.
When she was discharged, we were given a prescription which we filled at the pharmacy on the ground floor.
It was just over $800.00
Is your information first hand from personal experience or did we get ripped off?

Hospitals watch their budgets.

CBC forum: Why do we still need food banks in a province like B.C.? - British Columbia - CBC News
If anyone in Vancouver is interested. There is a forum tomorrow the 15th in Vancouver on food banks in BC.
Talks about role of food banks in BC, and what can be done to reduce their need.
Tickets are apparently free.
