Knew a lady who worked in the ER in Dublin, GA. They would make open pages over the PA referring to DRCWs. Dirt Road Crack Whore. Which was a very specific and common patient type there.

You shut your mouth!!! Red Green is a national hero.
But srsly, we do have a ton of rednecks. Pretty sure the physio is in the wrong for noting it on an official medical file though.
(I'm not saying what she did was right, but if it went as I suspect it did, I understand)

Robert Munro, 37, hurt his back in December while on the job, delivering furniture. He filed a WorkSafeBC claim and ended up in physiotherapy.

But while reviewing his WorkSafeBC file, he came across comments referring to him as a "redneck hick to death" and an "uneducated massive redneck p-y," and claimed he was "playing the system."

Gravy, cheese curds, and fries? Really? You don't think us Cheeseheads wouldn't have eventually come up with that for something to snack on for Packer or Badger gamedays? Hell, we'd probably end up with debates on the correct beer pairings.

The doctor is a full asshole and should be fired.

The guy goes in for help for a physical injury from lifting heavy things - an absolutely everyday, common sort of injury that can still make it impossible to work - and the doctor puts a bunch of bullshiat stereotypes in the file? Claims he's just "gaming the system"? No way is this doctor delivering proper care to patients.

A doctor like that can't be trusted, period.

Tough diagnosis. Does it knock ten or twenty years off his life expectancy? Of course, he could be worse. He could be diagnose as a Russian, Lucky to make it to sixty.

If I were a Russian I would be dead. As a Canadian I haven't claime my Canada pension and Old Age Supplement and run a risk of making it to the age the average American man can hope for unless he lives in a Red State or is black, poor, rural or working class and therefore doesn't have ab fat corporate health care plan..

There's a fast food chain here in New Zealand called "texas chicken" that has recently started selling poutine because when I think fried texas food, I think poutine.

True, no one has ever visited physical therapy for a worker's comp claim only to be caught faking it. "Doc, I hurt so bad I can barely get out of bed. Now can we hurry this up so I can get to the lake to jetski?"

Probably an employee of the doctor.
Probably someone at the receptionist desk who didn't like the way he talked to them, or something.

I was eating gravy on fries with melted cheese long before I knew about poutine, so maybe don't act all high and mighty. You guys were also the first to put pineapple on a pizza, and clam juice in a Bloody Mary. A lot more miss than hit in your cuisine.

/I should mention that I live south of Buffalo, so my fries with gravy and cheese likely had roots somewhere in poutine.

A Bloody Caesar is vastly superior to a Bloody Mary. I never had Hawaiian pizza so I can't really comment, but I like pineapple with ham so I'd probably like it.
