I realize this may be slow service compared to what y'all are used to in Florida, but the price is right. Funny, I had an ingrown hair on my eyelid once. He asked is this cosmetic for billing purposes. I said no, I don't want eyelid troubles later on -- covered. Took me 4 months from the time I got the referral to done. -- In Alberta, Liberals are like rats, not many of them around. |

Sounds gross in any case. |

No excuse for that in resource rich Alberta. You can blame Ralph Klien and his ilk for short funding the medical system |
