Re: What do you NOT like about living in Canada

On a serious note. I'm not responsible for anyone being there for a test, that's a decision made between the patient and the doctor. Once someone is there I try...

Re: What do you NOT like about living in Canada

Re: What do you NOT like about living in Canada

Re: What do you NOT like about living in Canada
