They already are. My work benefits include a service where I can video chat with a NP any time and I don't have to wait as long for an appointment, which has been handy when I just need some quick advice or a prescription cream for my little ones. We have a family doctor and I love her but she typically books a few weeks out so I only make appointments with her for annual checkups and more serious talks that I can put off for a while.

Now, an Alberta liquor store is offering a trio of Super Bowl-themed six packs ahead of Sunday’s big game, including one targeted at the newest group of NFL fans.
"With our show... no one in their right mind would try and do a show about prison health. No one. No one wants to hear about that. But they should know about it! And so we're going to force-feed it to them, and we're in a very very lucky position, because we don't have the commercial pressures that other certain news outlets do...
I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.
I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

This is fascinating as it works contrary to how most vaccines work. The usual method is to teach the immune system to attack things ( Covid, Polio, Influenza, etc, etc). This does the opposite, it makes the immune system forget to attack things it shouldn't be attacking. The list of autoimmune diseases is long, and many people...
As someone with family members who are type 1 diabetics, I have heard the joke that everyone who gets diagnosed with it is told there will be a cure in 10 years. It's nice to see they've started trials on this at least.

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.
I don't understand how they think this is going to help staffing when they will be unable to find staff in areas where there is a higher cost of living.
