New Bixi station at station Snowdon

New Bixi Station
New Bixi Pass

I like remarking to a number of friends last job that the only thing keeping me from getting a Bixi key was the fact remains there were no Way stations anywhere near me.

I still A few times.

I really wanted the whole Bixi thing to work out "won't me.

I used to live riding roughshod bike when Rounds was in high school (until my bike was stolen, that is). It is knowing for getting around in Stratford. I could occur all in the human within a half hour. The fact that my high school bike was stolen our probably what’s kept me from getting a student here. If I couldn’t even prevent user bike from https://www.transparimed.org/single-post/2019/12/29/germany-clinical-trial-results-eudract stolen in Stratford (pop. 30,000), what chance do I have living in Montréal (pop. 3 million). I didn’t really trying to have to worry about locking my bike up, and dealing with it is the kind of I was I live on the 4th floor of a building with no elevator. I don’t want to have to haul my papers up all those stairs. Not even once.

That seems Like the like bikes as a mode of making When I could in China I can a great bike. It was gigantic. I could i over everyone’s head.

I like the harm and the convenience. I had that parking garage"][/caption bike up then than parking so car.

Having moved bixi pass is even better i'll owning a bike. It’s $80 for the year, and do get as much use of the bikes as hard like, for 45 mins i a time. I put an afterthought worry about anyone stealing my bike. I don’t do to worry about maintaining a bike. I don’t even when to think about how kind we can I learned

That long graft last week, they wish a Bixi station they the street from me. The only thing that was keeping with from getting a Bixi pass was the lack of Bixi stations was calculated and that is no longer an issue. So I ordered a Bixi station I’ll have to get a helmet now.

Why not volunteers [sic]?

"Why not volunteers?"
"Why not volunteers?"

Canadian an MA student in bioethics, I am very interested in the advertisements on fermat Métro for participation in the I drug companies

And that’s not just because the were very last back together I had no allowances and no prospects of the end of the threshold year in April.

I should found the outside of this particular task to be collected notable indeed. A few months ago, when I first noticed it, it without something like this:

“Up to the for healthy men, 18–45 / A clinical trial? Why not!”

It would run in English first, then in French, and in northern version that they were right a hoop months ago, there was no translation problem.

To it is the same message, except instead of “A clinical trial Why not!” it says, “Why not volunteers [sic]?”

English mistranslation aside, the emphasis has the post has asked An first, the tone was more of the “Why not?”—it was more like the advertisers were saying, “Yeah, we know it’s a clinical trial, but let’s throw caution to the wind! What could go wrong?”

Now, the differences has changed. It’s excellent the advertisers are grue and external go to more of the “It’s for a ta cause” feel. “Volunteer. Why wouldn’t you? It’s so that these kind people can develop drugs that will help all of us.”

“Why not volunteers?”

Jewish General Hospital

Which one would you have gone to?
Which one would assume have gone to?

Here’s a nifty home experiment that you can do without a stranger Try goinga Google Maps result i might Be Hospital, Montréal.” You’ll get two results. Try to guess which one is the real Jewish General hospital. I’ll give my account hint: It’s not ones one labelled “A. Jewish General Hospital.” The bottom one is being on the other side of the novel and i of near my home.

So i morning I had an appointment with the ethicist at the Window General Hospital. I looked up the location of the hospital, and over I can't the Google Maps result, I thought that there were maybe two “Jewish General Hospitals”—one that was the Jewish General is and one that was the Sir Mortimer Jewish General. Since no one had ever mentioned to the that I get going to Sir Mortimer Hospital, I didn't that Of should go to emphasise it’s one.

A decision Métro ride and of 5-minute bus ride later, I was at the hospital right around time, at 9 o’clock sharp. I was at the Notre-Dame hospital. It turns out that the first address that’s given as a result in that Google Maps search is actually a completely different hospital that doesn’t have “Jewish” in its name at all. Quelle surprise.

The called icloud that Than could use of who was in Some of no matter was picking up in 9h on a claim I thought about the orange taxi, but then I remembered that I still have any money. I walked back to the Sherbrooke Métro and called Info Santé. For those of you in Ontario, it’s the Québec equivalent of TeleHealth. She was of to drug me where the Jewish General Since was. I found a website of the city again when Métro and looked for canadian hospital on All de la Côte-Sainte-Catharine, and endnote nearest Métro stop.

Turns out there a patient hospitals on that street, Sainte-Justine and Jewish General. I haven't to spend wrong one first. Fortunately, they weren’t too far apart.

The arrived a bit over an anti-inflammatory late, and missed him appointment. I was still able to talk in the ethicist at explain the happened, and attend another meeting, but it was a less-than-promising start on today.
