Walked into the Medical Clinic at 8:40 am

No-one waiting

One lady emerged from one of the 2 rooms, holding the plaster on her arm.

No-one else in the other room

Handed over form and medical card, information entered into computer, labels printed, etc

went straight in to the room


..................... and was back out in the waiting room by 8:45 am



I've never seen it so empty!!




Mind you, I then had to wait almost 10 minutes for OH who had gone off to do something else, and 7 people came in in that time!!


Home by 9:00 am, and could have breakfast.



Dea ...........

........... we don't have appointment times to go to these clinics for blood, urine tests, xrays, ECG's. They're set up as walk-ins ............. you take a number, and wait your turn. I've never actually waited longer than 15 minutes, and that was in the middle of the day.

They're all privately run, but all the tests are free, covered by our Pharmacare (the equivalent of your NHS). Blood tests results are sent to the GP within 3-4 working days, other tests take a bit longer.

There was a huge house fire earlier this evening over on the north shore of the harbour, about 20 km or so from here.


The clouds of smoke blackened the sky all over Vancouver and south to not far from the US border (about 30 km south of here).



Pretty dramatic



It is reported as being "an incident with a barbecue and propane".


One man with injured hands, and one completely destroyed house.

Thank you Sylvs and good morning....I think I will have a wander over to the warmers today...... :-D



That fire sounds dreadful - just shows how careful one should be with barbeques......... :-(


Hope all the poorly ones are feeling better this morning and I'm surprised that I've beaten Dea down.........unless it's grandchildren day.



Dea - I thought of you yesterday. Saw a car with the registration DEA :-D



Not sure about the weather today.....there's rain on the front window but not on the back..... :-S



Catch you later.

Good morning all,

Yes Cynthia - it IS grandson day but I also had yet another lie-in so I am a bit behind now as I will have to go and pick him up soon so have to wake up quickly :-D :-0

I am a bit confused, or is it me? - Does Sylvia think it is Saturday as we have a light breakfast and then brunch ??? - Is that normal for a Friday ? :-S

Anyway, I have had my bacon buttie and will be back for the rest later - it looks delicious :-(

Thank you Sylvia <3 <3

Dea x

P.S. hope JB is feeling better today. <3

Dea Xxx

Sorry not looked in today as I have had my head in the US family

JB is feeling a bit better and suggled on the sofa, watching Bargain Hunt os all things :-0

....and just what is wrong with Bargain Hunt may one ask? :-S


Glad he is feeling better. :-D



Just been to our usual Friday lunch and now I am off for coffee with a friend..~~~~~

Dea


I was indeed confused ............ I was convinced that it was Friday yesterday, hence brunch



ah well, you lucky guys will brunch twice this week



Now ................... what shall I make for the second brunch????




s

Sylvs, can we have some English pancakes please, with golden syrup <3

I didn't mind at all Sylvia but I got very confused. When I saw the 'light breakfast' and a brunch - I thought it must be Saturday but then I knew that I hadn't had grandson yesterday only grand-daughter and was sure I was having him today so it MUST be Friday.

Anyway, it was an unexpected luxury to have two meals today :-D :-D
