Wednesday's Assignment

Do you like the way you look? What could you do? What kind of healthcare practitioner could help your looks? According to the first paragraph of this article, can you pay for cosmetic surgery using your health card?

1-Check out this article on an expensive procedure:
1.From the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs (beginning "Marcel ..." and "By 2012"), what specialists might be involved?

Marcel, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, started his transition four years ago. The first step was hormone replacement therapy, a ritual of two-millimetre needles of testosterone that he will give himself every day for the rest of his life. For the first few months of the therapy, Marcel rode his bike from downtown Toronto to suburban Mississauga to receive his shots from a transgender-friendly doctor.

By 2012, Marcel was ready for top surgery – a bilateral mastectomy. At Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the only institution in the province at which reassignment surgeries are covered by health insurance, a queue had formed. Faced with a minimum wait of two years, he scrounged up as much money as he could—a loan from his sister, funds raised by friends, paycheques from a nine-to-five job—and had the surgery at a private clinic. The procedure set him back $6,000. Today, Marcel awaits one last surgical procedure: lower reassignment surgery.

Cosmetic specialist.
Specialist transgender.
Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Physician who specializes in transgender
Dermatologist.
Gynecologist.

2.Find the dollar values in the article and identify the various costs.

Founded in 1976, TIFF is now one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that TIFF "is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars and market activity." In 2007, Time noted that TIFF had "grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period. This is partially the result of TIFF's ability and reputation for generating "Oscar buzz.
