It's a different situation here where the health care system is
government run and not a private sector enterprise. A lot of good
doctors are terrible entrepreneurs and business managers. Here, they
are highly paid civil servants who devote all their time to patient
care, and not running a clinic. So are the nurses and all the
assorted support staff. I have only encountered one doctor here who
I thought was sub-par.

I do recall some wild and crazy premed students back when I was a
student but they either flunked out or matured along the way. And we
certainly don't have any practicing doctors here as wacky as Stella
Immanuel; our provincial medical colleges would suspend or terminate
their license to practice fairly promptly.

It's a cool climate annual that will grow in fairly northern places.
You'll get larger, fatter roots with longer summers though.

Lately, as well as doing the usual things like having it with roast
beef I've been adding creamed horseradish to white salad dressings
like ranch to liven them up.

  I would sub half mayo and half sour cream for the Miracle Whip,
  omit the sugar and add some greenery, parsley perhaps. - JW

... The beef was so undercooked, it ate the salad.
