This just confirms what I’ve always thought, we’re (Canadians) are a crass bunch! I regret using that expression, but I’m surprised none of you seemed to have encountered it before. Hmm!
Yeah I've never heard it and I spent almost 2 years there. And don't worry I won't put it out again... much...

We have a saying here “lo tengo pegado al culo” wich translates as “I have him/her stick it to my ass”. Means to have someone after you in a very annoying way. A boss, for example. So, quite similar to the Canadian one.

Tired, as always after the working week, but with a spark of hope that my 7 week long adventure with sinusitis and complications after the unsuccessful treatment may end this year. I was at the doctor's today, an otolaryngologist who seemed to be competent, very accurate and really well versed in drugs. On top of that he was extremely delicate, nice and kind and... he likes The Cure
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
Not so hopeful as I was yesterday. Today I took for the first time the second drug the doctor I mentioned above prescribed me. An hour later my lips and cheeks were so swollen that I could barely speak. I got so frightened that I started getting dressed to go to ER even though from my own experience I know it's the most terrible place you can find yourself in. Because of that thought I tried to call the emergency number of a private healthcare company where my employer pays subscription for all the employees. After 30 minutes of waiting for a talk with a nurse and further 25 minutes of waiting to be got through to a doctor I hung up. The swelling started to dwindle. Seven hours later I'm looking almost normally. This way only one drug left for me to use and that one I'm obviously allergic to looked very promising

Oh, no! That's terrible. Swelling around the lips/mouth is no joke and I'm glad you took it seriously.
Yes, the ER is hell. I'm sorry to hear you had such a hard time getting through to the private healthcare company. I wonder if it's a sign the hospital system where you are is becoming overwhelmed?
Please take care and tell your dr. what happened with that drug so it can be noted that you should never take it again. Worried.

Thank you so much, @notkristie I will write him about what happened. I've got an appointment after Christmas only. Certainly I will remember the drug. We don't have here any central record with the information about allergies. So you have to tell about them every doctor you meet...
Well, our healthcare system is quite a disaster. Despite huge mandatory money we pay every month for a public healthcare system, the lines to general physicians are too long for every normal human being. For an appointment at the specialist you have to wait approximately 6 months. That's why every bigger company provides the healthcare from private sector as a benefit at work. And yet, the private sector is overwhelmed as well. There is a general problem with doctors, there are too few of them. Those who are good just leave the country to work somewhere else because of the money and perspectives. Much to tell about bad things that are going on over here...

Whoa! That sounds like a close call & sounds very much like an allergic reaction of some sort. Glad it subsided & hope your doctor makes a full note of that before prescribing anything else.
