Preventative care is disappearing When you visit your family doctor, there are usually two agendas that require consideration. The first is the problem you’ve planned to discuss.
The second is the wide array of topics that your doctor likely has on the preventive medicine agenda that you may not have considered at all.• Update any new allergies/reactions.• Update bone densities, Pap smears, breast exams , pelvic exam, mammograms, sleep apnea review, prostate exams, PSA review, colonoscopies, etc.
Top-quality dental care is expensive Re: “Accessible health care should also include our teeth,” Aug. 5. The writer is correct in stating that oral health and systemic are intimately connected. Dental cavities and periodontal disease can lead to any number of life-altering consequences. Social Services paid for one cleaning per year, root canals only in anterior teeth etc. I don’t believe that a successful partial or full denture for any patient is impossible.
On many occasions I’ve witnessed drivers skilfully coping with challenging passengers with professionalism and humour; their work is much appreciated, and their kindness in assisting passengers who have additional needs is especially valued.Wealth as a measure of hard work?

There was an unpainted speed bump on a laneway in Oak Bay. It could not be seen when the trees around shaded the lane. I tripped and fell once and a neighbour also tripped on the bump and smashed her face. 2. Why is there seemingly no limit on the number of cars owned by people living in the same residence if they cannot provide off-street parking for them all?
Meanwhile, Victoria council is allowing more multiple family dwellings to be built with fewer and fewer off-street parking spaces for cars. Most people are not going to give up their cars, although they will certainly be moving to electric vehicles before long. More clogging of streets ensues without off-street facilities.
It is taken as a fact that governments have to finance this project, either from existing revenue or by borrowing at market rates, then subsidizing projects at less-than-market rates.
