Also Canadian.
While in Seattle on an H1, needed to go to Northgate for a routine maintenance procedure. (I'm a twin. Guess which procedure)
It's a well-developed thing, and so i tell the doc, "look. This has been developed for 10 years, it responds well once the pressure's off, don't cut me just gimme a local and draw it out with a horse needle." He agrees.
Next thing I know, "And here we have Mr Guppy, presenting with..." and a dozen kids are looking at a nekkid part of me. And they shoot the local.
And I feel the push of the scalpel cutting. Those motherfucking butchers. And butcher they did.
Had to pay $500 on the way out, and apparently that's a lucky thing even with my American insurance at the time.
Ultimately I came back to canada because the risk of a car crash ruining me financially for life was too much to bear. Fuck that.
