I will agree with the getting into school part tho
I'm speaking anecdotally, but I have friends who have previously, and are currently in med school and haven't been able to get jobs, or had a difficult time. Not due to marks, but due to picking specialties that no one is retiring from, or that they don't care about budgeting to hire. Specifically orthopaedic surgeons and plastic surgeons. Also, it took my wife 7 months to get hired as a nurse when we moved here, because even though they don't have enough nurses, they wouldn't hire any because it's not in "the budget," which is cute because once she was in there is essentially unlimited overtime, which is obviously not great for a budget.
The medical system in this country is unravelling and so much of it is due to inefficiencies.

Canada needs to open up its health care system to people trained elsewhere..
Have two friends in Australia one is in Kinesiology and does physio, rehab in hospitals, etc. the other is an X-ray tech, both trained and worked in both Australia and the UK and have 10+ years experience. In order for them to work in Canada they’d have to go back to school full time for 2 years and then get paid 35-50% less than they make now.

We had the same last year with Monty. Ended up at about 40k worth of surgeries before insurance cut that number to about 10k. 2 types of cancers he beat. Splenic lymphoma and mast cell tumours on a few areas of his body. He lasted an extra 9 months when liver cancer came into play. Boundary bay was exceptional for his care. Losing him was fucking rough.
Thats so sad man, i totally feel your pain bro. My dog's name is Monty too
Doc says he'll only have 1-2 years to live with heart failure that'll likely kill him. He's already on heart pills but the little guy now has this crazy looking scar. I get chicks dig scars, but he looks like a biker thats been in a knife fight.
When my dog turned 15 in 2021... she was diagnosed with a cancerous sarcoma on her leg... 3 different vets including Boundary Bay told me to amputate her leg, said the cancer would spread to her lungs, etc... or they suggested I go to Calgary for radiation treatments that were going to be $50,000+ nevermind living in Calgary for 2 weeks or so... I couldn't cut the cancer off because there's not enough skin on the leg to close the wound... I spent a lot of time reading up on sarcomas and how they're not very likely to spread and decided to just let her be since she was 15... they told me 6-9 months max to live.
Well, it's been 1.5 years now, she turned 16 in June this year... and will be 16.5 soon... the sarcoma hasn't really gotten any bigger and she's happy as can be, doesn't even notice it. I just put on a sock on her leg to cover up the bump so she doesn't lick at it or bite it. I know one way or another her time is short, but I'm sure glad I didn't follow any of their massively expensive recommendations without any questions. She uses both her front legs so much just digging and playing and she can still see perfectly, just a bit deaf... so she's acting like she might make it to 17 or even 18 who knows. If I had amputated her leg like they all wanted, I think she would have fallen into a depression and died for sure.
I also started giving her dog friendly CBD oil recently because I know of at least 1 other person who has a large dog with a leg sarcoma that has been living with it for 3 years and the sarcoma all but disappeared with CBD oil... I am hoping the same will happen for her too.

don't those in medicine have a deal where they can work under "commonwealth" nations (except US but it's in the mix)? i know nurses can travel to australia, UK, US, canada and it's all good. engineers have something similar IIRC.
kinesiology and x-ray tech don't fall under a similar umbrella? maybe the diff is medicine vs health care

bro she does not look 16 at all. she looks like a pup. im really glad you didnt follow thru and amputate her. I hope that CBD treatment works. Hell if i were you, id try anything and everything to see what works. As long as its not too invasive and she can continue to have a good standard of living.
p.s. go buy this and carry her around in it. We can matchy matchy, i just picked this up in montreal gulolololol
IM NOT GAY, YOURE GAY!!!! + =
coming soon, to a dimsum near you

That’s why they both worked in the UK but almost certain Canada doesn’t have the same agreement, at least not with them.
Both super intelligent people with the wife of the couple growing up and still having her parents in Vancouver. They would have even bit the bullet of the high cost of living to come to Canada if that was a possibility. However it just wasn’t feasible in the least for either of them to reach the requirements to come work here so now they have a baby and a house in Australia and Canada is without 2 more professionals

ŠKODA has unveiled the ultimate baby buggy, dubbed the ‘RS Mega Man-Pram’ – a high performance vehicle that has been designed to provide the ultimate baby transportation experience.
To celebrate the international launch of the Octavia RS – the fastest ŠKODA ever – the company gave a team of engineers the task of bringing the same qualities that go into the car to other everyday objects. These included the RS Man-Pram and were highlighted in a new ad launching the third-generation Octavia RS.
The pram’s RS style makeover fits perfectly with a ŠKODA-commissioned survey of 1,000 dads which found that two thirds (76%) admitted they would spend more time pushing baby if they had access to a higher spec and more stylish buggy.
The result is a remarkable baby carriage: standing 1.5 metres high, the buggy comes complete with wing mirrors, hydraulic suspension, 20 inch alloy wheels, oversized brake callipers, anti-stress grips and a headlamp beam for night walks. Tots lucky enough to be carried on board can look forward to “sports-style upholstery” and “adjustable lumbar support”.
Heidi Cartledge, Head of Marketing at ŠKODA UK comments: ‘The ‘RS Mega Man-Pram’ proves what you can do when you take the RS vision off road and drive it straight into the nursery. We used it in the new Octavia RS TV ad because we wanted to bring to life the idea of enhancing the performance of everyday objects. The high tech-buggy gives a tongue in cheek sense of what you could experience if you RS’d your life’.
The ŠKODA survey of British dads uncovered the most desirable additions to a high tech stroller which were reflected in the ‘RS Mega Man-Pram’ design.
The full spec includes;
■ Wing mirrors
■ High-spec brakes including brake lights
■ High-beam headlamp
■ Hydraulic suspension
■ 20-inch alloy wheels
■ All-terrain tyres
■ Oversized brake callipers
■ Anti-stress push-bar grips
■ Sports-style upholstery
The ‘RS Mega Man-Pram’ features in the new advert for the Octavia RS, which has debuted exclusively on YouTube
RS have any autoplan agents? gotta renew NOV 19.. .just gonna pay for the year.. dont know if agents make commission? but someone wants a fast commission, PM me ..rather than give it to some guy at londondrugs
For some reason, it didn't trigger a sound this time. I usually have my phone on silent and I remember some of the alerts (amber alert?) triggered my ring tone.
wouldn't know what to do without my little buddy (lhasa apso) .. he's only 4.5yrs though,
... how the heck do people brush their dog's teeth?!
He's super cute hahaha
small dogs are next to impossible i think. maybe one of those finger brushes that you attach to your index finger? i just take my little guys to canine gentle dental and those ladies do a cleaning every 1/2 a year. my dogs HATE those poor ladies.
