Two Times in One Day is Enough For Me

Well I went back in and I decided that since my father now was out of emergency as he could have been there for the entire weekend.  As well, a resident internal medicine doctor wished to speak with me pertaining to my father's medical history.  So we discussed things that went back to nearly nine years.  So going back obviously something that was good. 

I thought I would have the time to get the camera out and get some night shots of around this particular hospital that is located on the university grounds, but by the time I had called to back to my mother to re assure here with regards to things – it was again getting late.

Right now most specialists take the weekends off here in some provinces in Canada.  While during the week they work here and have the weekend off.  Each province like a state is different but within Canada some provinces have a two-tier system and some have only one.  It's the way that our medical system started.  But times do change.  And the need for a variety of things are need to maintain a system or amend it to fit the current times so that it services the needs of the people.  Bankers hours for specialists does not go over well with me.  Meanwhile we have a strong amount of people that come from a variety of countries that pick up the slack.  And in no means are they less – they are actually very – or extremely well educated and know what they are doing.

With regards to my father, what I do know at present is that he has several things going on.  One of which is his brain has been effected after a improper surgery that took place just a few days ago, so as the residents are bring everything together he is on a certain type of medication to cautiously terminate the infection.  I know that come Monday, everything will come into play.  I do believe in a system that we do have but ironically it’s not a medical system that is perfect.  It too needs adjustments.

As far as the how I see things in comparison to yesterday – it’s one step forward and no steps backwards.  There was an announcement while I was talking to one nurse and then I knew it was time to leave.  He was very mixed up but on a one to ten scale I would say it was around a 4.  So for now that is good news.

As for myself, I am not stressed out, but I must admit I am tired, and while leaving and the people that I saw in the elevator – oh if you do something that’s harmful to your health that you really don’t need to be doing – try to change it as you don’t know what it’s like till you have been there yourself.

On a positive note the weather is really starting to come around.  It’s time to say good bye to “the great white”, and shortly welcome in “the great green”.
