Northern Health is suing a ship owner alleged to have reneged on bills for medical expenses.
According to a notice of claim filed March 24 in BC Supreme Court, a member of the crew aboard the Morning Cloud needed emergency medical care while the bulk cargo carrier had berthed at the Port of Prince Rupert in January 2021.

“I knew that I could give him antibiotics for the infection, but it wasn’t going to stop until I trimmed that claw,” Fine said.
Just as Fine was contemplating how to best access the infected paw, her feline patient stretched it out to her…
One More Cure for Hiccups
December 20, 2022 · 5:50 AM
I’ve written previously about how Paul Ingraham helped cure my patello-femoral pain syndrome.
More recently, Paul looked into hiccup cures because his father had an intractable case. What finally worked for dad? Breathing into a plastic bag.
Boosting blood CO2 (hypercapnia) by breathing in a PLASTIC bag. This one is quite plausible and is easy and safe to try. Hypercapnia definitely affects some kinds of hiccups. The story (from a smart source, a good “friend of PainSci”): “There’s an even easier way out of hiccups — at zero cost. Learned it from my uncle,…

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting people living in Canada and diagnoses continue to be on the rise. In Alberta, an expert panel is now working on ways to lower the risk of severe outcomes and the strain on the health-care system in the years ahead.
Like many people, Grace Oben started working from home during the pandemic. The Calgary life coach gained more than 60 pounds.
