Letters from our readers: Weighing in on a vegan diet, gravel letter a good laugh, atmospheric rivers aren't the same as a Pineapple Express.
Safety comes first with vehicle lights I appreciate great advice to learn to adjust my mirror when driving my “peanut car” in front of a large pickup. But we, drivers of peanut cars, know this is not a solution.
The same goes for a turning signal. They should all be yellow instead of tiny red blinks that on many vehicles are hard to see no matter how much attention you pay. Safety first.New doctor structure doesn’t reward efficiency I am a community family doctor in Victoria. While I recognize that the proposed new billing system will benefit a significant number of family doctors, it seems to have a significant flaw. It doesn’t reward efficient work; it rewards the opposite.
As outlined in the new billing system, I will not be making any significant gains in income. On the other hand, a lot of my colleagues will benefit from increased indirect patient care income and make significantly more money than me for doing the exact same amount of work. Taking longer to do a task results in monetary gain.
The letter-writer asks whether it is “possible to identify, recognize and honour those who … conceived of, advocated for, designed and constructed the raised dam” on Sooke Lake Reservoir which has an ample supply of drinking water for the capital region after our historic summer drought. An atmospheric river is a general term for heavy rain occurring in a fairly narrow geographical corridor. A Pineapple Express is an atmospheric river that originates from the Hawaiian tropics.
These are issues I can do nothing about except feel terribly sad. Maybe we should all “look out” for silly signs that make us laugh, each new one posted on the comment page.Yes, there is a use for gravel that is loose Re: “A rock-solid idea for describing this,” letter, Nov. 2. The doctor from the Faculty of Medicine at UBC states: “Animals raised on factory farms are drugged, endure crowding stress, have little access to outdoors, and live in the stench of their own excrement.”
