Quotes About Liking Someone

HEALTH SYSTEM: WHERE IS COMING?

Reading a text of the newspaper The Sun, which recounts the adventures of a resident of Saguenay victim of H1N1 influenza. The manifestations of this flu have remained in a coma for some nine days! This text leads me to think about accessibility to health services here in Quebec. The citizen Saguenay testament to the quality and professionalism of the services received.

HAPPINESS INSIDE!

P Personal Productivity - as well as immediate family members - have benefited from professional services and specialized network of health and social services in Quebec. Some benefits still required followed by certain diseases or physical conditions.

During my civic commitments, I meet almost daily of people who can testify in the same direction. However I hear a lot and mostly negative comments!

After conversations and analysis, I concludes that the main problem of health services in Quebec is not the quality and professionalism, but accessibility! The front door is too narrow or poorly identified. Even professionals and other employees of the health system does not know the way to access specific services or the availability of certain services or specialized programs available to victims of chronic or degenerative diseases.

A DOOR OPEN OR CLOSED

accessibility to health services and social services is particularly limited outside major cities. Even within the National Capital Region, there are significant disparities in access to certain health services.

In the capital, victims of limitations or disabilities resulting from chronic or degenerative diseases have timely access to hospital services or technical services in a hospital or at the Institute for Physical Rehabilitation (IRDPQ), with the collaboration of the CLSC CSSS or their territory.

In the Portland area, a person with a chronic illness or degenerative disease will have to wait up to nine months before someone go to his home order to assess the accommodation needs of the premises or the use of a manual or motorized wheelchair to facilitate his movements. During the waiting period, the patient - who is aptly qualifier - is confined to his home and sometimes even to his bed. Often, caregivers pay the price of administrative deficiencies, and especially economic policies of our network of health and social services. In Charlevoix, if you are a victim of a failure of his motorized wheelchair, he must wait a week or more visiting the mountain technicians IRDPQ.

SERVICE QUALITY IS THERE,
HID LAST DOOR CLOSED!

For the citizens of Quebec have access to health services of high quality vocational and technical lurk in almost all health facilities in Quebec, we must show them the way forward, expanding access roads. This means that information and add the necessary human and financial resources in some areas.

During a 28-year career in the civil service in Quebec, I have contributed for 17 years - until 1996! Denis Lazure Jean Rochon - to communicate, work and enjoy the network Health and Social Services of Quebec, within the Communications Directorate of the Ministry of Health and Social Services. My first term in 1979 was to create a working group aimed to raise awareness of the 170 CLSC the time. The aim was to produce a brochure which was raising awareness CLSCs and services.

The group did not have long life and the brochure never existed!

At the end of my career, the only achievement of visible and effective communication: a unique ID and uniform, logo, adopted by all CLSCs and used by the Ministry of Transport on road signs to inform on the existence of a community health center nearby and on the road follow to reach the service point closest.

Any document information that can describe the mission, purpose, services offered by a CLSC and their availability to all citizens of Quebec City remains in the dream state. On their respective territories CLSC 1979 - Still a large number of existing CLSCs - were both social activist, Health Unit - of my youth - the doctors office, clinic appointments, immunization clinic, emergency room first level, caregiver front-line center, hospital, depending on the region, according to the distance between its territory from Montreal or Quebec!

Many people have never been able to go to a CLSC to receive quality care that were provided and that they were right! They were unaware of the existence and the authorities policies, at times, limiting access by refusing the funds required to learn about available services and add staff to meet the needs of the population of the territory. These people are now dead!

During the same period, investments in concrete! Hospitals care for long or short term have been built and promised during election periods, but remained unused for months - even years - because the Department did not have credit sufficient to purchase the furniture and equipment required, or to hire personnel to provide professional and technical services expected from the population.

The contents of brown envelopes could be used to address these health needs, rather than the needs of campaign funds!!

How Do You Clean White Leather

I RETURN YOU LOOK ...

Time flies! But the subjects that could be a daily newspaper are very numerous. There are municipal elections in Quebec. Especially in Montreal and Quebec City.

There are currently consulting the General Directorate of Télé-Université on whether or not the attachment at UQAM.

On this last subject, last night I read a document filed by the Union of tutors who takes people to a large extent the points I made 6 years ago to oppose the annexation of TÉLUQ at UQAM.

I read a few days earlier interventions ... teachers, who felt very professional corporatism. However, the important thing is the client, the students, without which the Tele-University would not exist and teachers either! Some courses TÉLUQ address this economic reality and administrative ...! There are people who are not blind, but do not want to see!

And I return to work to support students

PARTY IN THE IMAGE OF QUEBEC SOCIETY: THE PQ

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF HEADS SAVING THEIR HEAD!


The latest Des kiwis et des hommes, late-night version. Francis Reddy and Patrick Roy, who highlight the contradictions and the melting pot of candidates for municipal elections in Montreal. The PQ to nature: they tear each other! Louise Harel, the former chief of staff, a former PQ minister who is seeking employment or who exercises a subtle feminine vengeance! Diane Lemieux never read Machiavelli's Prince!

As Quebec society, the PQ is an ogre who devours all the heads that rise or trying to rise above the mass. The individual and personal interest takes precedence over the interests of Quebec community. Leaders do not survive the stabbing of extremist left or right, or "Bourgeois" who do not see the footsteps of the past who built their present while preparing to demolish the future of one country, Quebec, who built the Canadian federation and ensure its existence. In his favor.


In 1995, the PQ too optimistic have lost his head to Jacques Parizeau! Lucien Bouchard was subsequently chosen to keep his head after have to leave the leg. Bernard "Barlu Landry - one of six officers OCCOE who found themselves in the first cabinet of René Lévesque - took a military decision, it does not go to the front when more than 25% of your brothers in weapon can shoot you in the back! Andre Boisclair did not survive the stench of a homophobic society that has long tolerated the treatment given the "Duplessis Orphans"!


By selling his "castle Île-Bizard, "Pauline Marois could possibly afford a" second head »...! Or birth of a real party that will build the true country of Quebec and possibly attach the ROC, including Quebecers were the first occupants ... after the natives!


Here is a quick analysis of today's Quebec under the lights of the municipal elections in Montreal.


At Cascades when a party, a party Bombardier, Quebecor party, a party Air Transat, a party Canam Manac ...! There's leaders and men who have proven themselves to building a modern Quebec, the creation of a collective wealth ...

How Much Does It Cost To Straighten A Nose

WIRE WIRELESS

ROGERS IS THE MOST RELIABLE NETWORK THE COUNTRY?

WHAT COUNTRY?


The Daily brings us some concerns down to earth! I wanted pursue more diligently this newspaper but twigs of everyday life are inserted into the spiral of minutes and hours that pass without stopping.

On 22 August, I'm in La Malbaie, on the course and the building of Murray Bay Golf Club. Two partners equipped with an iPhone 3G not receiving any signal. All participants are equipped with cellular and place calls over the airwaves. Even the team of Madame Pauline Marois.


In return, a message on Twitter. A first answer me that the signal is absent from Rivière-du-Loup to the Lower St. Lawrence and Gaspé. Moreover, another Twitterien equipped with an iPhone myself GS transmits live video Iles-de-la-Madeleine (opposite Café de la Grave)!


I contact the Customer Service from Rogers! A "Ontario" partially bilingual, perhaps housed in Western Canada, takes note of my problem and I said: "The next time this happens you will communicate with us!" With my iPhone ?:-)))


Currently, Via Rail, Montreal Quebec, the signal appears and disappears along the way ... while Via, because of the influx , had come out of old cars "Renaissance", with four seats instead of three in width! And the Internet is not available!


And this is the wireless network, the most reliable in the country! And a passenger train that will soon be replaced by a TGV. At least, instead of being deprived of internet connection for over 3 hours, that would be treated for 1 h 30!


If Rogers is the most reliable network in the country! Quebec is he still part of Canada Rogers?


And, oops! Just before St. Basil the Great, the Internet Via Rail service resumed.

Getting Off Risperidone

APPOINTED BY THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS?

THE DOCTOR AND MINISTER OF HEALTH SERVICES EMPLOYEE IS STILL SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE?

Mine "shot" of the Minister of Health and Social Services, Yves Bolduc, in announcing that he accepted the recommendations "of the College Physicians for private abortion clinics and withdrew the regulatory elements that might, claims it does, to force some clinics to close their doors, raised with me some thoughts, some questions?

First question: a physician appointed Minister of Health and Social Services he remains subject to the rules of his profession during the course of his political mandate? If yes, is there no potential conflicts of interest when negotiating the salary rules and working conditions for doctors, generalists and specialists in the institutions of the Network Health and Social Services?

The decision, announced by Yves Bolduc rang as an order of the President of the College of Physicians, where we listened and watched the interviews granted. Unlike the Minister Bolduc, president Yves Lamontagne seemed to control the situation!

few weeks earlier, the Minister Yves Bolduc met along the way the president of the Federation of Medical Specialists, the "heavyweight" Barrette. Was it really to negotiate the remuneration of medical specialists? Or was it not rather to reduce delays Barrette waiting on the list of bariatric surgery!

few days later, Yves Bolduc announced a new surgical ward was put into operation at the Graduate Institute of Cardiology and Pneumology Quebec (formerly Laval Hospital )..., to reduce the waiting list of people "suffering" morbid obesity "! Curious coincidence? Or "bargaining power"?

Often, the medical community in Quebec has challenged the lack of medical leadership of the Ministry of Health and Social Services! Especially during the reign of Marcus efficient Yvan Côté!

Yet during my stay in the civil service - and more precisely for 17 years at the Department of Health and Social Services - I saw passing, the political leadership of the department, two psychiatrists - Denis Lazure and Camille Laurin. Then a doctor-lawyer - Pierre-Marc Johnson - future ex-minister and a doctor preminier International Administrator - Jean Rochon - whose reforms have been sabotaged by a finance minister as much obsessed by the Latin quotations by the decisive "zero."

The first social worker, Ms. Theresa Lavoie-Roux, has advanced social programs and those of women, despite the stays of his colleagues at the Justice and Public Safety. She had bent frank with his prime minister.
This was not the case worker Social Pauline Marois!

Marc-Yvan Côté has managed this department in a masterly, as efficiently as he did for a campaign fund or an electoral organization! During this period, a brief interlude: Guy Chevrette - who tried to leave no stone unturned - and now returned to its roots: in the woods and forest. During the brief career of Prime Minister Daniel Johnson "son", a property manager for the homeless has gone mute before making an exit to Ottawa, Martine Robillard!

And then, you know?
