If you think that US travellers arrriving in Canada during the summer with
skis and winter clothing is hilarious, I just had an incident with the nurse
who took my temperature at a doctor's clinic last week.
I simply asked the nurse if they ever used Celsius thermometers if a patient
requested it. To my surprise she did not even know what Celsius is and she
is an RN. I was going to explain to her that its 'another' scale where
water boils at 100 and freezes at 0 but I simply
decided to drop it and not waste any further precious time.
Just can't believe it. How much more inward looking can some people be????
