I don't go to them expecting them to diagnose; only doctors can do that. Mai-ling: Yes, the site self-destructed a while back; it's only just now getting on its feet again. Sorry about that!

Hope you haven't had to call telehealth Ontario recently? Used it myself once when Lana fell smack onto her face and I thought her nose was broken - not, thank goodness. Anyway, congrats again on the new job, looking forward to hearing all about it. Wish we were coming to visit in Nov. like the folks. Enjoy them, we sure are. Catch ya later, I'll keep reading :) Hi Joe,

Only a doctor could do that and the nurse I spoke with told me that 6% of the people taking that medication had those symptoms and it was up to me to decide. Since it was the week-end, I had to wait until Monday (or go to Emergency that Saturday) to find out whether I should stop taking it or not. Soooo, yes, I agree with you, the nurses are wonderful but they, unfortunately, cannot make certain decisions and that is too bad because I am sure they are as knowledgeable as some doctors if not more:-).
