26. Due to the current Physician shortage we are experiencing, Parhelion Medical Services would like to ask for the following assistance from all our patients: 5) If you can’t make it to your appointment please call and let us know so we can give that time to someone else. If you do not show up on time for your appointment it may be cancelled. 6) Keep an eye on your medications to ensure you do not run out. DO NOT wait until you are completely out of medications to book an appointment as you MAY NOT be able to get in on the day you run out. Book appointments for prescription renewal a couple of days before you run out of your medications. 7) As always please expect to wait 1 hour for your medications to be processed. Staff must ensure that each medication is checked and double checked for your safety, so please be patient. 8) Finally, please remember that your doctor is a person too. He/She requires time to eat and sleep the same as you do. DO NOT ask for appointments during lunch hours or after posted clinic hours. Remember the doctors working at the clinic are the same doctors that are on call at the hospital, and may have been up most of the night dealing with emergencies. They require down time just like everyone else. Thank you for your patience, co-operation and understanding. • Please be aware that it may take anywhere from 1 to 3 days to get an appointment with your doctor. Same day bookings may not be available due to the physician shortage. • 2) Wait times to see your doctor in office may range from 20 minutes to 3 hours. Every effort is made to see patients in a timely manner but the medical condition of the patient determines the amount of time required by the doctor to provide proper medical care. This can and will cause delays. Please make sure you have the necessary time available to wait when booking your appointment. • 3) Please let the booking clerk know if you need extra time with your doctor for such things as driver’s medicals, insurance papers, etc. It will help in decreasing waiting times for everyone if the booking clerk knows in advance that you need extra time for you appointment. • 4) Walk-in appointments, (where available), will be restricted to urgent needs, infants, children and seniors only. As there is limited time in the day for patients to be seen and limited physicians this restriction will be enforced. Public Information Brochure

27. A snowmobile & ATV can only be driven on a roadway if it is registered and insured.  The operator must have a valid drivers license.  The rules of the road must be obeyed at all times, this means you must make a complete stop at a stop sign, yield at yield signs and follow any speed signs, etc.  A helmet must be worn by law on snowmobiles at all times. • If a snowmobile or ATV is on the roadway without registration or insurance, and/or if the operator does not have a valid drivers license, it can be towed and the operator can be charged.  This can effect your ability to obtain a valid drivers license later on. • There are bylaws in communities, and some of those bylaws do not allow a snowmobile or ATV on any roadway in that community.  Please make sure you check your local bylaws before you operate on any roadway.   • PLEASE NOTE .... A snowmobile and ATV are considered a motor vehicle.  The same laws apply for "impaired operation of a motor vehicle" to snowmobile's and ATV's no matter where they are operated.  PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! • ALWAYS REMEMBER to operate in a safe manner .... every year many people are killed on snowmobiles and ATV's.  Please operate safely, obey the law and most of all .... HAVE FUN!!!! Cst. B. GOSSEN Watson Lake RCMP
