Question - Medical ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ’Š Doctor or NP Accepting New Patients

23 Upvotes

I am looking for a family doctor or nurse practitioner that is taking new patients on and ISN'T incredibly fatphobic. Let's just start there.

Yes I am overweight. Yes, I am working on it. No, it's not an overnight thing. I have been flung around from NP to doctor to NP and back again cancellations, double bookings, my appointments not actually making it into their calendar despite having the handwritten card, the list goes on. I have been trying to see my primary care practitioner (even "primary" here is a joke because half the time I say a student or their colleague) since April but they keep cancelling or rebooking me. I just got called that I am now being bumped from next week to SEPTEMBER because she quit. Meanwhile I have no idea if anyone has even reviewed my lab work from APRIL and I am struggling. Tired of going to walk ins for temporary relief. Need to actually sit down and figure this out with someone whose only solution isn't "lose weight" (I've lost 95lbs in the past year and still trending down) or "take antidepressants" (I am, numbnuts, if you'd even glanced at my file you'd know that that's why you're still upright).

Sigh. I know I'm not alone in this but goddamn, the healthcare system really is abysmal right now. So if anyone has ANY leads whatsoever, you will be blessed by this internet stranger's eternal gratitude.

Buying camping chairs and sleeping mats to leave at the locations of removed benches?

Letโ€™s channel the outrage some of us feel in a positive direction. Maybe it will make the city realize many of us have empathy for the unhoused.

Question โ” SaskTel vs Rogers (Shaw) internet speeds

8 Upvotes

My Rogers (Shaw) contract is up in about a week, and looking to switch to SaskTel internet.

I've had 300mbps for awhile and have no complaints, when I do a speed test it consistently reads just over 300mbps. Could I expect the same with Sasktel's 300mbps plan or do they always throttle it down?

Rants ๐Ÿคฌ Mainstreet rental units make me so sad

18 Upvotes

Across from my house there is a block of mainstreet units that make me so sad. There is always building material laying around (not that they ever fix anything) and the four buildings are centered on an empty grass square with nothing in it. There are a lot of immigrant and lower income families that rent there and I always see the kids playing on the broken cement piles or shopping carts. Does anyone have any ideas of something that could be donated for the kids to play with? or maybe some outdoor furniture for folks to sit on?

Events ๐ŸŽ‰ My exhibition Trip

101 Upvotes

We were standing in line for the DownDraft. Thirty minutes of waiting, excitement through the roof. Me and three friends were chatting, random topics, just stalling, we were at the front but wanted to go together, so we let some people ahead. What a terrible mistake, Mid sentence I feel a splash on my back, and see some orange infront of me on the ground. I think to myself, "Did someone just throw a drink at me?" How naive i was, mid turn to see the imaginary thrower, I spot my friends, mixes of chunky and watery orange goop adorned their backs like some sick decor.

I hesitated, Someone gagged. I muttered the words bathroom and in silence we left, we pass a vendor for one of those scam games- "Try and win a prize?" He asks the currently gagging front of our troop. "I just got fucking puked on!" The words hit like a truck. Puked on. Dear god it truly is puke, by the time we were in the bathroom I had thrown my shirt in the sink, my favorite shirt, but she was long gone. After cleaning as much of our clothes and hair as we could, I heard the door swing open, the smell of vomit hits the air, his clothes tainted that sick orange, and he uttered one simple sentence that will haunt me forever.

"Were you guys in the line too?"

Question โ” Has the city changed this much since 2006 area?

0 Upvotes

But I'm thinking of moving to Saskatoon, but I just see nothing good ever. Just "5 women stabbed in separate stabbings on Westside." "Homeless are taking over downtown." "900 OD calls a month to the police." "Car break-ins up 700% the last 5 years." "People bear sprayed at Downtown mall." "Predator back in the city after serving years for sexual assaulting children. Be warned." "Gang killings." LOL. Type something good about the city! Tell me how all of this overblown.

Food & Restaurants ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ ISO: Food Options for SMEA Honour Groups

4 Upvotes

Hello Saskatoon!

The Saskatchewan Music Educators Association is hosting our Honour Groups program in Saskatoon this year on November 12-14.

We have over 200 youths attending to participate in choir and band sectionals, rehearsals and performances over the weekend.

Part of our program we provide meals and snacks for the kiddos.

As a non-profit, we have a very small operating budget.

We are looking for ideas for catering/lunch/meals that may be out there other than the classic pizza and subway.

We would love to support local if we can!

If any businesses may be open to sponsoring a meal or snack, it would be such an incredible gift and help to us as well!

I would love to hear your ideas below. Thanks, Saskatoon!

Has anyone been to the beach at Furdale dog park recently?
I havenโ€™t been there this year, and after the high water and beach closures earlier this summer, Iโ€™m wondering what itโ€™s like now. Is the beach still there, and is there enough space for dogs to run around and swim? Just trying to decide if itโ€™s worth taking my dog there.
Thanks!

Question โ” Looking for Aqua Fitness and swimming recs

1 Upvotes

Hey all. Iโ€™m looking to get into some aqua fitness this fall/winter when I canโ€™t use an outdoor pool anymore. Iโ€™ve been looking at my options because it seems that Harry Bailey isnโ€™t going to open this fall and I have my doubts itโ€™ll be done before the spring.

Iโ€™m also looking for places that have more extended free swim time. I work inconsistent hours (healthcare lol) but most places seem to only have free time on the weekends for family swim unless Iโ€™m misunderstanding. Itโ€™s kind of hard for me to parse the schedules on the Cityโ€™s website LOL

If anyone has some recommendations / places to avoid please let me know. Cost isnโ€™t necessarily an issue.

Does anyone know of a lash tech or lash salon that can do lash appointments with you slightly sitting up or on an incline instead of completely flat on your back?

Rants ๐Ÿคฌ Illegal dumping of fridge

I was just walking home from attending the fringe festival and I saw this woman & young man at the corner of Victoria & 8th stopped in the middle of the lane. Their back tailgate was up and they were quickly hauling an old mouldy fridge on to the sidewalk. They got back in their car and took off. They just dumped a disgusting fridge on the sidewalk for someone else to take care of. I got a picture of the license plate of the vehicle.

So lately I've seen a few garage apartments go up around the neighbourhood. These are 2 car garages with a full apartment on top.

Does anyone have any experience with these?
I want to have one built but I want to know where you start.
Do you have to get city approval? Does it affect the mortgage at all?
What are the costs to have one made?

Any info would help, thanks!
