That's Canada now... Has been for a while.... I hurt myself 9 months ago. It took 5 months for an MRI, and I'm still waiting for the specialist. I'm partially paralyzed...
Sorry to hear that, I hope you get treatment soon. Isn't it amazing how the world thinks our medical system is so great? There have been multiple deaths at the hospital near me of people waiting to see a doctor in emergency... not to mention people I know who would still be here today if the doctors in that same hospital were halfway competent, but since they can't be sued for malpractice, nothing happens...
Thanks. The worst thing about Canada is that we're right next to the us. If France was our neighbor, everyone would be upset, but because we're in a horrible neighborhood, everyone just says 'better than them'
You might be right, but I think it's this way because most people don't have any real idea how either system "works." Haha, that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. One system is set up to be dependent on good income for good insurance or good employer with benefits but has massive government wastage, which could easily fund a better medical system for lower income people. The other depends on taxes for the funding but has the same government wastage problems and massive incompetency in getting good people into the medical field.(ex: limiting number of doctors or nurses that can graduate)
