There are several times an Alberta doctor has helped me.
1. Last year, I decided to finally see a doctor because I now had a girlfriend who wanted me to take care of my health. Until then, I didn& #39;t give a fuck about it. My diet was poor. #AlbertaLovesDoctors

I also did little exercise. When I saw the doctor at the clinic, she took my blood pressure and it was high. She told me, flat out, I was a walking heart attack and/or stroke waiting to happen. That scared the living shit out of me. It started some changes. #AlbertaLovesDoctors
2. After #1, I decided to get a family doctor. I found a young guy who graduated in 2015 and after meeting him, he seemed good... if not a little socially awkward (but so am I, so I can& #39;t hold that against him). He got me to do some blood work. #AlbertaLovesDoctors
Turns out my poor diet had caused me to develop fatty liver disease. I was told if I had let that get out of control, it would have developed into cirrhosis and I could have, you guessed it, died. Again, that scared the shit out of me. #AlbertaLovesDoctors
In 2019, I had to be told by two different doctors that my lifestyle choices were going to put me in an early grave. Scary to hear when (at the time) you& #39;re 31. With the support of my girlfriend, I eat a lot better now and I exercise way more. #AlbertaLovesDoctors
My blood pressure is in the normal - borderline range (still working on it), my diet is better, and my weight is down 30 pounds (and I& #39;m still working on that). I owe Drs. Mishra and Brokop for not sugarcoating my situation and giving it to me straight. #AlbertaLovesDoctors
I owe them (along with my girlfriend) my life.
So dear government of Alberta: stop vilifying our doctors. Get your ass back to the table and support the people who do some damn fine work in this province.
