@ColonelAngus17 I blew out my knee 2 years ago, saw Orthopedic surgeon in a week and had a CT next day, 3 days after Ortho got CT results I had an MRI. Yes, our system works and is definitely worth fighting for.
Extra Levant and Brian Lilley, co-owners of Rebel News, took it upon themselves to publish the full manifesto by the Montreal shooter. Lilley is also a columnist with the Toronto Sun. Every police agency in Canada is now on alert because of it, concerned about possible copycats.
@LocasaleLab Lack of humility is the problem but not on the MD's part. Patients come in armed with something they read on FB or twitter, convinced the system is intentionally trying to harm them because they've been told by people like you that it is.
@Avis_Favaro@CTVNews@YouTube Tip of the iceberg. Close audits should be done of every hospital corporation, starting with GTA. Check the books, new equipment out of one hospital budget but it's used at another in the corporation.
@sandhuamarjot1@fordnation Doug got booed off stage AND his team even doctored images of the event changing the tee shirt colour of OPSEU protestors to Conservative blue! The Ontario Conservative party are the purveyors of extreme bullshit, shady backroom deals and deception!
@MattZirwas Ultrasound isn't used as a first line breast imaging tool because it has a very high false positive screening rate. Anyone who's pushing these full body scans using any modality, when they are proven to not lower mortality rates, is doing it for the $$ that these scans bring in.
Yesterday, something happened that is apparently more terrifying to Putin than the bombing of Moscow. This event went largely unnoticed by our media, and where it was reported, it was treated as just another routine news item—Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Antipinsk, near Tyumen.
It might not seem like a big deal, were it not for one detail that you simply need to know.
Measured from Ukraine, Moscow is over 500 km from Sumy, Tyumen is over 2,000 km from Kharkiv, and Antipinsk—where the refinery is located—is 2,150 km from Kharkiv.
However, what’s even more interesting is that, measured from Kharkiv, Chelyabinsk is 1,800 km away—just over 300 km from Tyumen itself.
This is where the real intrigue lies: for Ukrainian weapons, Tyumen is 2,000 km away, while Chelyabinsk, with its Mayak plant, is 1,800 km away. Oziorsk, where the Mayak plant is specifically located, is approximately 1,750 kilometers from Kharkiv.
The Mayak plant is the Russian facility where uranium is enriched, plutonium is reprocessed, and all nuclear bombs are manufactured and repaired, and so on.
The Mayak plant is located in Oziorsk, also known as Chelyabinsk-40 and Chelyabinsk-65—that is, as a closed city surrounded by barbed-wire fences and guarded by the military. Entry into and exit from such closed cities is permitted only with special permits. In the past, such cities didn’t even have names—which is precisely why the numbered designations came about—the name of some other city, often located a hundred or more kilometers away, would be adopted.
Incidentally, within a radius of several hundred kilometers around Ozersk, there are a whole host of other secret Russian cities and factories where other components of nuclear weapons are manufactured.
The bombing of the Tyumen plant means that Ukraine now has a real-world reach into Russia’s nuclear weapons production and maintenance complex.
And this is a threat to Moscow unlike any seen before: with this strike on Tyumen, Ukraine is demonstrating that, should the war continue to escalate, it will be capable of—and will undoubtedly—destroy Russia’s nuclear weapons production complex.
This is a threat to Putin, meaning that if the war continues to escalate, Russia could lose the majority of its nuclear arsenal.
Of course, like any escalation, this one carries certain risks—for example, the likelihood of a Russian preemptive nuclear strike. On the other hand, such actions by Russia would politically mean its immediate isolation, total mobilization by the West, and Russia’s confrontation with the entire world—something Putin certainly does not want.
Thus, we are witnessing a quiet but very serious shift in the balance of power.
@GadSaad Came to Canada as a refugee, milked the system for everything you could then flees to the US because they shut your hate spewing speech down. Don't let the door hit your ass on your way out.
@sean_from_earth Public trust in doctors and scientists is primarily because of lack of humility. Lack of acceptance that we don't know stuff and should simply trust the experts in their field. Arrogance is endemic and intellectually vulnerable people are the worst.
BREAKING: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will now remain fully closed even if the US fulfills all remaining MOU commitments, including the $300 billion reconstruction fund, frozen funds release, naval blockade removal and oil sanctions waivers, unless Israel fully and permanently withdraws from southern Lebanon and permanently stops all attacks in any form, per Tasnim.
Iran’s FM Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf have stated that the first clause requires Israel’s full withdrawal from Lebanese territory, with Iran emphasizing that opening Hormuz in exchange for merely lifting the naval blockade would be a “strategic mistake.”
This comes as Netanyahu has said Israel will remain in the Lebanese security zone “for as long as necessary,” and won’t withdraw, with Iran warning any further negligence will have “severe damaging consequences.”
@JGisSatoshi@DrCasteelEM Wrong.95% of these scans reveal at least 1 abnormality and 91% of those are false positives= unnecessary biopsies and follow ups. They're proven to NOT reduce mortality rate with any static significance above 1% but hey,you wanna piss away your $$ by having one,go ahead
