801. My friend is the mayor
Thanks to the heart of the sea god, Qin Shiou is now in great health. He eats everything he wants every day and can recover his energy for a day by sleeping for a few hours. Therefore, he does not have a deep understanding of the Canadian medical system. +◆+◆,
But since Winnie got pregnant, everything has changed. Last time Winnie went to the hospital for a review, even though she had a black gold centurion card with his million-don donation, she was waiting in line for nearly one day before she got on the number.
Qin Shiou couldn't stand this, so the residents of the town would definitely not be able to stand it, but they had no record of donating money.
You should know that the difference between seeing a doctor in Canada and China. Unless you have an emergency, you don’t have to go to the hospital at all, but make an appointment with your own family doctor first.
Whenever you go to a place, the first thing people have to do is to choose the right family doctor according to their own situation, make an appointment, report, have a physical examination, and improve personal medical files.
In this way, once you feel uncomfortable, Canadians first contact their family doctor and make an appointment for medical treatment.
After the family doctor's preliminary examination, if it is diagnosed with a general condition, he will immediately write a doctor's order and prescribe so that the patient can go to any pharmacy to get the medicine.
If in-depth examination is required to confirm the diagnosis, the family doctor will issue a physical examination form or a referral form, and introduce the patient to a specialized physical examination institution or the specialist's office for the next diagnosis.
During this period, various tests and examinations must be made, and physical examination reports also require an average waiting period of 2 weeks. Specialists and in-depth treatment must continue to make appointments. Anyway, various appointments must be made, and whether the person can withstand the appointment until the end depends on the degree of God's blessing.
Even for a family doctor, you have to make an appointment, not just visit the door. Of course, if the family doctor has few patients, you can naturally serve you directly. However, this situation is often rare.
Many people feel uncomfortable and then make an appointment with a doctor, but are told that other patients have made an appointment before they make an appointment. It takes a few days before they can see the doctor.
This situation is the most fussy. Many diseases are temporary. After a few days, when you meet a family doctor, the discomfort symptoms often disappear. The doctor refuses to prescribe regular medicines on the grounds that "no symptoms", which is speechless.
In addition, because Canada is extremely strict in the management of prescription drugs, there is no way to buy medicines without a local doctor's prescription, and there is basically no "disorderly prescriptions". Instead, it is common for people to buy medicines even if they have money.
When Qin Shiou first came to say goodbye to the town, Auerbach prepared a small medicine box for him, so that he could have a headache or a fever or bumps and bumps and try to deal with it as much as possible. Everything is waiting for the doctor? Then why not wait for God.
Almost every household in the town has a small medicine box, and they need a community clinic, but they have never found a suitable doctor, so this matter has been delayed. Now that Odom has been caught, Qin Shiou thinks it is a good opportunity.
After hearing Qin Shiou's words, Odom did not refuse. He didn't ask about the treatment, but just stroked his chin and said, "Let me think about it, I'll give you the answer before next weekend."
If you are in China, if you invite someone to work, you don’t ask about the treatment, just say you have to consider it. That is definitely unreliable.
But this is not the case in Canada. Since they say they are considering it, they will consider it. What they consider is only necessary conditions. If they think that salary and benefits are not necessary conditions, they will not ask.
This is the difference in culture between the two countries. Chinese people are more tactful, while Canadians are more direct.
Separated from Odom. Qin Shiou bought glue and returned to the dock. All he left was to repair the fishing boat, and then it could be completed.
Shaq used a brush to brush the name of the "Flower Fox" ship. After applying white paint, he sprayed brown-gray paint to show the sense of the times. In addition, he had to apply some rust and snail shells to make it look like he had been underwater for a long time.
At the end of August, the mayoral election, which lasted nearly a quarter, came to an end. Both sides gave their final debate speeches on TV, and the rest was voters' votes. After that, the new generation of St. Johns's leader will be released.
The final debate speech was not a debate contest, but lasted for several days. The two sides seemed to have a fight. Today, Okevo chose TV station and Hamre will choose TV station tomorrow. The two candidates tried their best to explain their governance methods and prove their administrative abilities, their methods and abilities to attack and doubt their opponents, and try to win the support of voters.
In the past, Qin Shiou watched the US presidential election, but he couldn't understand what the candidates were talking about. Just watching them waving their fists and roaring in the court, he felt that their aura was strong.
This is not the case with speeches in small cities, beautiful rhetoric and powerful momentum are useless.
Voters don't care about their verbal tricks, they just want to know what the government plans to do in the next few years, how to build a good economy, how to build municipal projects, how to help taxpayers save money, and finally reduce tax revenue, that would be the most perfect.
Auerbach changed the election image for Hamre. He had always been wearing a British vest suit to show his elegant side, and he started sprinting at the last moment. Hamre sometimes wore T-shirts, sometimes wore denim clothes, and sometimes wore work clothes, trying to show his grassroots work side.
At the last moment, Hamre had a catchphrase, which was, ‘I know what you are missing because the guys around me lacked these things’.
This seems to be a bit fake to Qin Shiou, but the voters are very fond of this, because they were cheated too badly by Okevo a few years ago, or they were cheated too badly by the financial crisis. They need someone who understands the people's sentiments to help them do things, rather than a politician who only stays in the office every day to lead them.
At the end of August, the voting officially began, and St. Johns was divided into two main voting locations, one in the government building and the other in the Newfoundland Memorial Square, where both the Canadian and provincial governments sent people to supervise.
There are also some scattered voting locations, and even communities with a large population will have a voting site, which is indeed very convenient for the public.
Legally speaking, citizens over the age of 18 have the right to vote, but usually only a few voters will exercise their rights. Many people will not have time to do things like being busy outside because they do not pay attention to politics and are busy outside. Anyway, there will be no fewer people who abstain from the power.
On the last Monday of August, the voting officially begins, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Because the town is the base of Hamre, a voting site was also set up, which was located in the office hall of the town government.
The fellow villagers gave Hamre a lot of face. They went to queue at 10 o'clock. Qin Shiou and Winnie also came over. When they got there, they saw that they were all acquaintances and tourists were taking photos with their cameras. They were obviously curious about this way of voting and election.
The townspeople in line looked relaxed because everyone knew that Hamre won!
****The fifth update is delivered, which is worthy of the mission, haha. The shell will have a social event tonight. I guess I can’t get the manuscript tonight. This way, the update may be in the evening. I hope everyone will wait patiently, but the hardworking shell will not owe updates. Please rest assured! Finally, if you have recommendation tickets and monthly tickets in your hands, vote for them. The shell is looking forward to it! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
