Happy Friday!

For potato chips, it's only three to four months - depends upon the oils and seasonings used.
For long life salty snacks, go with something like Pringles - with a shelf life of well over a year, since they are made with less than 50% potato in their dough, not from sliced potatoes.

Oh gross. GROSS

lol and I have a bunch of Pringles coupons I won't be able to use until I forget this comment.

Thank goodness for a crappy memory!

Oh, gee, Nancy - no referral? That's crazy, considering there's going to be a wait for him to see the specialist, then probably a wait til the surgery...

You know how it works... he might be scheduled but your own Dr won't call you. It'll be the surgeon's receptionist that will call you.

Call the hospital and ask for Urology and ask if there's an appointment for your son. If no, call your Doc back. If yes, you score. Problem is it might take a while. Sadly they go by "priority" and if it's not immediately life threatening it could be a while.

I waited 11 months for an MRI of my head when they thought it might be a tumor. Reason? It was assumed to be a "cyst" that was on the skull and not the brain so because I wasn't in danger (just in severe pain daily with deadly headaches but that's OK to them) they prioritised other people. Which I sort of understand but dam. When it's little kids I think they should throw out politics and have someone be allowed to pull overtime to supply the demand.



They're weird that way. UGH @ Canadian medicare and politics!!

Good morning, everyone! Dark & rainy right now. Too bad it's too wet to go stalk Noah Wyle (he's fighting aliens in my neighbourhood).

If everyone's still giving you the run-around, it's time to visit your local politician. It's amazing how quickly things can change when there's a danger of being embarrassed in the media.

Hopefully, your little guy is seen quickly. It sucks to have to wait. I don`t suppose you`d like to come to Toronto for a visit (Sick Kids Hosp here is supposed to be one of the top hospitals in the world)?

Yikes! You poor thing. I`ve been lucky that I`ve only encountered 2 incompetent doctors. One told me to go home & rest cause I have the flu when I went to emergency (my appendix was disintegrating). The other was a diabetic specialist who put me on a new type of insulin & when I complained about my sugar levels crashing & going wonky, he lied & told me my old insulin was no longer on the market (I suspect he was getting a kick-back from the pharmaceutical co).

I`m lucky (?) in that my health status (transplant etc) means I can call up a clinic & get an ultrasound for myself pretty much within a day.

[NancyM]

the surgeon they sent us to does not do that surgary and after 2 weeks of not hearing from him i called the office and then after 4 days of still not hearing from them i called back and was told they had sent a request back to the dr i had seen here on Mon guess what it's now friday and still no word so i've made an appt with our old family dr to get the ball rolling enough is enough it's been over 3 weeks now and nothing has been done i'm totally pissed off

[NancyM]

thanks Andit i never should have changed dr's just thought it would be easier going to a dr in the same town that i live in oh boy what a mistake that was i'll drive the almost 45 mins to their old dr from now on

In your situation I would hope they don't give you the run around! Lawdy!

I've got good specialists now so I don't run into those issues anymore but it's nerve racking to have to deal with until they figure out 'what they'll do with you'
