Montreal sounds horrible! Those doctors really shit the bed when it came to diagnosing you. Probably because you spoke English to them…

Welcome to Quebec… Passing patients from one doctor to another and waiting hours and hours when you think you’ll die is now considered a national sport!!!

And here I thought I was the only one who had crazy stuff happen when she goes on far/long trips! (My issues are usually around my car at the last minute.) Karma.

“This is Montreal and you have to speak French.” –Bull!!! Montreal is the one city in Quebec where you are NOT expected! Ignorant rude Quebecers. No sympathy here.

Glad you made it on your trip!! I’m jealous of you being in Europe!

Makes me happy to live in BC and fearful of what might happen if I get sick in another jurisdiction. Hope you are well soon.

Jeez. I had a parasite once and was hospitalised so I was lucky. I think had I been forced to wait that long, I would’ve been out cold. I’m amazed you actually had the energy to keep going back.

I hope you’re back to 100% soon.
