Healthcare , Canada - free advice by phone from a nurse 24 hours/day

[billlll]

"...It’s always wise to ask a local pharmacist for recommendations, or dial the 24-hour BC Nurseline at 604-215-4700 (within greater Vancouver) or 1-866-215-4700 (elsewhere within BC)."

BC is British Columbia.

Just another advantage of really nationalized HC..... that for-profit refuses to give the public at large.

BTW. N. Zealand had such a phoneline but with a doctor, some years back. Globalization may have ended that. No recent info.

2. Tell me about it

My Canadian meds horrify me--every time I think about what I would pay for U.S. meds.
