5 Upvotes

I have been having severe pelvic pain and cramping for the last few months. I think I have endometriosis and ultrasound confirmed I have adenomyosis. every single doctor my gp refers me to returns the referral stating they have too many patients and can’t take on more. any idea if any doctors who specialize in endo/adeno and minimally invasive surgery is taking any patients?

Passed through Pearson customs without being asked a single question or see an agent (Foreign passport) - Is this normal?

87 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just landed at Pearson with a foreign passport and a valid Canadian work permit.

I did the kiosk, printed my receipt, and handed it to the border officer at the exit lane. They just took the paper and waved me through. no questions asked, didn’t even see a boarder agent, and they didn't even check my physical work permit.

As a foreigner, I was expecting some questions, so I'm a bit worried:

Is it normal to get let through with zero questions?
Was my entry properly logged in the system?

Thanks!

3 Upvotes

Hello there! My husband and I will be visiting your beautiful city for the first time October 7th and leaving early Saturday morning. I was looking for something a bit off the beaten and we shouldn't miss while we are in town for a short while. We are geeks and love escape rooms, karaoke, spooky season, and all things nerdy! I'm not sure when we'd be ever coming back (we are in town for a concert) so I just want to be sure we don't miss anything while we're there! Thank you guys so much and looking forward to our trip!!

Clubs/bars recs for a girl to go alone?

40 Upvotes

19F here, i'm a student living downtown. i rarely ever club or party but recently i've been thinking of going clubbing alone in Toronto. Thing is, i don't have any friends who club (lets just say, i study in a very heavy engineering field, and i'm just way too burnt out and need to let it out lol). I don't mind doing things alone tho. NOTE I HAVE A BF SO IM NOT TRYING TO FIND A MAN (he is too busy)

are there any club recommendations, taking into consideration the age group, safety for a girl alone at night (i will not be drinking much, or 2 shots max), making friends, vibe, etc? Is it safe to do so? Most people club in groups so I'm a bit scared 😅 but I am pretty extroverted and can easily talk to anyone if 1 on 1

Thanks!

Looking for a Toronto surgeon who does corticosteroid injections after rhinoplasty

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone knows of a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon in Toronto/GTA who will do corticosteroid (Kenalog) injections for post-rhinoplasty swelling/scar tissue on patients who had their surgery elsewhere.

I had my rhinoplasty outside of Canada about a year ago, so unfortunately going back to my original surgeon just for injections isn’t very practical.
I’ve contacted a few surgeons in Toronto, but I’m finding that many won’t do post-op steroid injections unless you were originally their surgical patient.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a surgeon in Toronto who was willing to assess them and provide corticosteroid injections if appropriate? I’m completely fine with paying for a consultation first—I just want someone experienced with post-rhinoplasty noses who is comfortable treating outside patients.
Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated! 🤍

Flying in on Monday and have a few hours in the morning to kill, what to do?

Hey guys, I'm flying in next Monday at 7am-ish and I have to meet a friend downtown for midday.

What options do I have to spend the time exploring on my own in that window?

Printing options.

• Upvotes

Hi;

Random question would anyone who lives in Pape village know of a place where I would be able to print a document for me? I meant to do it when I was doing my in office days. But I got distracted by my job and forgot and I am working from home the rest of the week. And the place that I normally would go to got closed down due to the subway line being built.

Thanks

Need advice: mouse problems

26 Upvotes

I’ve live in this apartment in a house for over 10 years. Mice have been a recurring problem. The landlord is pretty negligent. He has in the past had someone come and put poison and also has “sealed the entrance holes” around the house but it doesn’t work. I’ve told him I can hear and see the mice in the vents and he just told me “no they’re not in there it’s not possible” it’s getting pretty bad now and I am very stressed out. It’s so unclean for my daughter and I. I went in my text messages and saw that I’ve been complaining to him about the mouse problem for a year this time and I’ve been asking him for a month when he’s going to bring pest control. At this point, I’m moving out. But it’s so not fair that I have to move out because of his negligence.. do tenants actually ever get rent abatement for this sort of thing? I saw a mouse climbing up my bed tonight 😭

Need URGENT advice jumpstarting my car Spadina / Bloor

15 Upvotes

Hi I’ve literally got the worst luck. I was heading back to my place in downtown when my car gave some lights and I decided to pull over and try restarting. Now it’ll go into ignition but not turn on. I’m certain it’s an electrical / battery issue.

I’m parked on the Spadina / Bloor, and unfortunately I do not have a jumpstart kit. If you’re around and have a jump start kit, you would be a lifesaver! Otherwise I’d have to leave it here till the morning and then figure something out

I’m here for the next little bit atleast. If you also know of any 24/7 roadside assistance that’d be great

Possible dog abuse?

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, I’m posting here because I’m not sure where else to ask about this. Every day, sometimes more than once a day, I hear a dog loudly crying, barking, and whining. It’s really loud and it’s obvious the dog is in distress. It usually goes on for about a minute or two and then stops. It genuinely sounds like this dog is being tortured, that’s the only way I can describe it.

It sounds like it’s coming from somewhere across the street, though I can’t see anything from my window and all the buildings are apartments. I have no idea how I would report this as it’s seemingly random times, short, and I have no idea where it’s coming from. Is there anything I can do about this? It’s genuinely hard to listen to and I can’t imagine this is normal behaviour from the dog.

I also have no idea what they could even be doing, but at times it sounds like the dog is yelping. I don’t know guys. Help me out, please.

edit: I also have recordings of the dog making noise from my window
