Damn, I hope they get it fixed before winter starts because winter in Prince George and that area really need heat not just for comfort but things like pipes will freeze if the house is not heated. December/January time frame can get below zero.

Already there.

No one wants to wait days or weeks for a primary care physician. I blame this squarely on the AMA and their restricting the number of medical schools and the number of people allowed to be doctors.

It's doctors who control the number of doctors in America, not the government

It is because of this that we all suffer. It has nothing to do the the generation that a person was born in, we'd all like faster and better medical care. Jeeze I wish the media would quit blaming things on "generational data" it's just ridiculous.

Yeah, my spouse luckily got her doctor associated with an urgent care clinic. Which means while technically she has one she just makes an appointment at the clinic and sees whoever. Her problem is them getting someone in to do the ASL interpretation. Usually whatever it is can wait for them to do that except for one time where I had to urge her to go to the ER.

I have not seen my own doctor in years. Every time I have tried making an appointment I got pushed off to someone else in her office.

On paper we have primary care providers but in practice ..... nope. What is the point of having one if you can never see them?

I've been lucky. I have a primary care provider, an actual doctor who runs her own practice. She is great, though she rides on me for not getting enough exercise and eating too many potato chips. If I can't see her, I usually see one of her nurse-practitioners, who is also great. I almost lost them though when the new managers of my Tricare region suddenly decided they weren't in-network, and changed my PCP to some guy I'd never heard of who has an office 20 miles away in another county! After some quick research told me that my doctor was and is indeed in-network, I burned up the phone lines getting that shit fixed and getting my doctor back for me and my family!

Normally, Tricare is absolutely wonderful. But the new company managing my region don't seen to know their asses from a hole in the ground. Also, my office visit co-pays have nearly doubled this year, from $12 to $20, and the prescription I get delivered to me used to be free (except for one non-formulary prescription) now costs me around $75 for a three-month supply of my meds. I realize this is still a bargain, but the point is, things haven't been the same since Trump took office.

Pardon the double post if this is, but I just wanted to thank Pancake, Isabeau, Kamilah, and all the other Canaders for providing us with a massively stupid quote from a politician who is not one of ours!
Quebec: Crucifix 'not religious symbol'

ETA: I just saw that Kamilah had (unsurprisingly) already mentioned this on a page I somehow missed in 'Shit's Fucked Up...'. Next time I'll read more carefully.

Belgian Air Force F-16 destroyed by fire during maintenance - Collateral damage on second F-16 - Aviation24.be

On 12 October, Aviation24.be received more information on the incident: a technician was working on an F-16 when he accidentally activated the six-barrels 20mm Vulcan M61A-1 cannon of that F-16. The cannon was loaded and some bullets hit another F-16AM (FA-128). That aircraft had just been refuelled and was – together with another F-16 – being prepared for a (training) mission. Due to the bullets, the F-16AM exploded and damaged the other F-16.

Whoops.
