Some years back my large intestine was punctured. I almost died! I was rushed to the hospital and placed on the surgery bed IMMEDIATELY. They did not know who I was, they just knew they had to save me. The surgery was done by one of the best surgeons in Canada. I stayed in the hospital for about a week was told I was never going to walk again due to nerve damage. I walked about a week after I was released and have been about 95% ever since. I then had physio for 6 months. Guess how much I paid for everything? About $100 for the ambulance. I know you guys read and have friends that tell you this. But I live here and know MANY people with amazing hospital stories. The majority of the complaints (mostly from Americans who have heard from Canadians) I hear are wait times and it is usually from some person going to the hospital for something like a cold or sprained foot. Please tell me the American system is better, I beg you.
