Quote from: Phoenix on Jul 27, 2026, 03:35 AMIf memory serves, not that many years ago there was a contingent here in the U.S. that touted Canada's medical system as vastly superior to ours.
Haven't heard much from them lately.
QuoteThe Vancouver-based physician has given patients she just met a cancer diagnosis, with little privacy in the middle of a noisy room.
QuoteDr. Kaitlin Stockton has watched far too many patients suffer in overflowing emergency departments.
The Vancouver-based physician has given patients she just met a cancer diagnosis, with little privacy in the middle of a noisy room. She's cared for a man with an intracranial brain bleed on an ambulance stretcher in a hallway. And she can't shake the memory of one patient who had septic shock after spending eight hours in a waiting room, dangerously close to death.
Those kinds of harrowing experiences take a toll on emergency physicians, Stockton said, and there have been too many to count. At least five of her colleagues have left in the last few years.

QuoteThe Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) has dismissed its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over allegations of sexual misconduct.Naturally, I'm inclined to suspect that these allegations may be the fabrication of a Mossad katsa plant. Oh, sexual misconduct is a real thing, but allegations of it also make an effective weapon against a political opponent... and Israel is into dirty tricks the way a snail is into its shell.
The chief prosecutor was ousted by the Assembly of States Parties on Friday, more than two years after the allegations first surfaced. The move was backed by an overwhelming majority of the court's 125 members, with 82 voting in favor of Khan's removal, 18 voting against, and 15 abstaining.
The ICC issued a brief statement on the assembly's decision, saying the now-former chief prosecutor "committed serious misconduct and serious breach of duty." The court did not provide further details, citing the need to respect "the privacy and rights of all those involved in this process."

It did not specify the third country or criminal organization to which she's allegedly linked.
