Dr. Google said that swollen left ankles could be due to blood clots. Within the first 45 minutes I was admitted and given an ultrasound on my ankle by a nurse. Within the next 45 minutes I was examined by a doctor who said that my problem was probably due to varicose veins, but who ordered another ultrasound just to be sure. During the last 45 minutes I was given another ultrasound by a technician. So I saw 3 highly-trained medical health practioners for FREE and I was also given a clean bill of health. We Canucks are spoiled.<br /><br />Hee, hee, still chuckling over the teeth thing ;)ThriftyParkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295345786296221184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880155029797311793.post-60328097917194093232015-09-08T19:06:57.587-07:002015-09-08T19:06:57.587-07:00Canadians get staple removers?
