  1. I’m not crying to many tears. Call me heartless, but he has a gym teacher’s salary and it wasn’t cancer, of which the waiting lists have supposedly caused many to die. Also, I know 2 people who have cured their carpel tunnel on their own, without surgery and two with surgery, who have had their symptoms return.

  2. It is worse than that, one of the worst things that can happen is that you do get in the system, then they will kill you with neglect and incompetence. I am a widow because of it, and have my youngest, BN RN, working in the states after a year in hospital here, because it crushed her what was happening to patients. The difference between the US and Canada? “Night and day”, her words.

    1. Wow, it must be bad because it is usually a horror show in American hospitals.The RN in USRN is my credential and plus I have witnessed the poor excuse for nursing care for family members in “world class” hospitals.

      1. My father entered the hospital via the ER with a fractured neck from a fall. His first 4 days of “admission” were in the ER, along one wall they have hung tarps every 4 feet, and there are stryker stretchers in each one with “admitted” patients. There are 14 of them, rooms 1-14, they are labelled. When I asked why, I was told because the hallways in the wards are full already. Next stop, day 5, the hallway. He was put in a 2 person room day 7, with 3 in it. The place is a filthy, dystopian hellscape. This is the regional hospital, i.e. the largest, best in the area.
        Does that clear it up for you? Most of the doctors could benefit from English as a second language course.

  3. Had a cousin, living in Saskatchewan, get diagnosed with the big C. Was basically told he was fck’d and to get his affairs in order. Fortunately for him, he’d won the lottery a few years prior to that & money wasn’t a problem.

    Headed stateside to a cancer clinic, they treated him & the cancer was in remission for a few years. It reared it’s head again, they couldn’t treat him, he went down to Mexico, got treated & once again the cancer went into remission. Third time it came up, wasn’t anything anybody could do & he eventually passed from it.

    Still, he got an extra 10 years because he could afford to go elsewhere. Best healthcare system in the world…
