This is why public health care is better :P

What's the difference between "aborting" at 39 weeks 6 days and 40 weeks?

err, doctors won't let you?

I am sure it was pretty critical for the fetus.

There are a gazillion miscarriages every day, most women don't even know they're pregnant.

I'm not going to get into a morals argument over the issue or defend the hospital you went to or the treatment you got, just stating a fact.

I am sorry you and your wife experienced the miscarriage.

oh I was just commenting on the hospital system, not really pissed at the people.

Doesn't surprise me. My wife gets terrible migraines every month just before her period starts...like clockwork. (incredible pain, nausea, aura, metallic taste, super noise/light sensitive)

This month she finally got the MMJ card and used it. She actually didn't get a migraine. A manageable headache yes, but not her typical world-stopping migraine. We have serious pain meds at the house, and it worked better than all of them.

how is the de-criminisation working out?

Well she isn't taking it except for inside the house (like with any of her strong meds), and it's totally legal for medical use...so it's working out great as far as I'm concerned. IIRC, possession less then 1oz. in Denver is a non-crime (she never carries meds on her person anyway).

The only kicker is that she'll be re-starting her job search here in the near future, so she'll have to abstain and get it out of her system for any possible UA's.

err, weird, if it is de-criminalised and she has a card, that should not be an issue.

You mean the possession? I was just pointing it out generally, for anyone, as it relates to the broader scope of de-criminalization in Denver.

If you mean the UAs...unfortunately for us, employers are not obliged to have their hiring policies be lenient according to the regional MMJ laws (and very often aren't).

The U.S. federal government has assured me that studies like those in the OP are wrong.

Shame on you for lying, OP. Shame!

bizarre. Discrimination of that type will get seriously slapped over here.

Yeah, it sucks. I don't know what kind of latitude employers have with that kind of stuff. My wife has popped in the past for her other pain meds before (like dilaudid or percocet), but her proven prescriptions have sufficed for the HR offices. We have a friend who was denied a job because of his MMJ, even when he proved his prescription/card.

So I don't don't know if all drugs, including prescription pain meds, are subject to an employer's discretion. Or if there's any sort of regulation against that kind of discrimination with valid pharmacy prescriptions, but doesn't include MMJ. :\

woah.

In this thread, people actually talk negatively in regards to public health care in Canada, and actually have experience with said health care.

Honestly, I didn't see that coming. Typically it's described as being a glorious system.

well, we just knew she was not feeling well at the moment, that is why we went to emegency.

Six hours of waiting with no info is crap. At the end of that the doc saw her for 5 min and told us there was nothing they can do. You mean this info could not be relayed somewhere along the six hour wait?

I doubt he was sitting in the back playing Solitaire on his iPhone trying to avoid your wife's health.

oh no doubt that the doc on watch is over worked. It's a system issue.

The way the hospitals are handled is what fucks everything up. More people getting hired for desk jobs than actual doctors...
