Thank You for that...
The horror stories of the Canadian system are usually centered around the urgency of whatever procedure you may need.
Went to school at the UofS, was playing a game of hockey in my Jr Year and stepped into a guy wrong. Tore a miniscus pretty bad... Bad enough that the flap would fold over and lock my leg up. ( After dropping me to the ground of course...) Got things diagnosed, met with the Surgeon and we were 8 months out for surgery. I was not happy about that but hey that was the only option. Four months later I was in a truck accident and broke a bone fragment off in the ankle of the other leg... Met with the same surgeon who said that it had to come out ASAP. When the swelling went down they went in and did BOTH procedures... One was urgent was was not, the Dr made the decisions and I am not sure I could have asked for any more.
So yea let’s go ahead and school me on Canadian health care...
I’ve already stated I have no personal experience with Canadian health care.
Why would I?
I can say that your experience is (thankfully) 180 degrees out for the most part from what my Canadian coworkers relate to me.
