Why my monday night was more exciting than YOUR monday night.
1. Canada’s free healthcare system; where you can wait 5 hours to be told by an incompetent doctor that he has no idea what’s wrong with you.
2. That same healthcare system; where you can finally get the treatment you need from a competent doctor (when you find one).
3. Did I mention that it was free? Because it is. No charge. Well, not up front.
4. Flying squirrels. I know they can’t really fly, but they can glide for longer distances than I can. I know because I tried. Hence the intimate knowledge of Canada’s healthcare system.
5. Paramedics; for asking simple yet poignant questions like “How on earth did you end up here face-down?” and “Did you think you could fly like a flying squirrel? ‘Cause they don’t really fly – they glide.”
6. Alcohol; for leading me to believe that if a rodent as lowly as a squirrel can fly, then I can too, dammit.
7. My roomate Jared; for taking advantage of number 6 and egging me on.
8. Eggs. So tasty, so delicious, so nutritious. How dare they be so eggspensive. Ahem.
9. Head Trauma. It makes life adventurous because you forget the easiest things and see fun colours.
10. Canada’s free healthcare system; where you can wait 5 hours to be told by an incompetent doctor that he has no idea what’s wrong with you.
Whoa. Deja Vu.
