Healthcare workers of various types are in short supply in Canada. It’s a key reason why we have backlogs in care. Lots of jobs. The province of BC on the west coast has made it much easier for healthcare workers from the US to move there. Other provinces are working on shortening the process too.
Heard about this source helping Americans learn more about moving to Vancouver Island. There was a great show on CBC Radio’s programme White Coat, Black Art hosted by Dr. Brian Goldman on this topic, interviewing the Maffins who created helpful info and sources.
There is also a group on Discord with discussions and where questions can be answered, also started by the Maffins.

@neil Haha reminds me of that time in 2007 when the NHS Medical Training Application Service, the entity with the monopoly on doctors applying for specialty training jobs, openly published online personal details, including telephone numbers and sexual orientation, of applicants. I'm given to understand that the firm to whom the job had been contracted was er... rewarded with more government contracts.

Which is to say, even an account with a second party has a significant possibility of getting contracted out to a third party. Argh!

I've had a hormonal IUS before, not a copper IUD coil.
jfc insertion is painful (but apparently not for other people??!) but not having to deal with condoms or the pill or anything? for YEARS?!

And the success rate is the highest or right up there. I think the arm implant is 1 pregnancy in 2000 couples over a year or two...? Unless that's the hormonal IUS.

ALSO THERE ARE DIFFERENT DOSES AND SIZES. If you're nulliparous (have never given birth) like me, GET THE SMALLEST, holy shit.
Why the flying fuck they bunged the massive Mirena in there, I've no fucking clue. Again: some people feel "mild discomfort" and other people do just feel some mild discomfort but not pain!

But yeah, even with the insertion pain, I'm getting an IUS again soon. It's just that damn convenient and reliable, I cannot lie.
