I had to have emergency surgery a month or so ago, and with all the waiting behind everyone else, I almost died. It was an ugly thing.. 18 hours in the er behind people with the sniffles, and when the surgeon removed my gallbladder finally, he said if the surgery hadn't been done within an hour or two, he was pretty sure it would have ruptured.. and considering I have a genetic bleeding disorder, there would have been very little they could have done at that point to stop the bleed. It was such a horrible experience, and I got such terrible treatment from the nurses, we will be following up with legal action. Even other patients were coming up to us saying "Wow you are in bad shape and they aren't doing squat, if you need to sue or need a witness, here's my number". It was a HORROR story.

I could tell you just the opposite.....in Toronto as well. Not mine, but a relative that I took to Toronto East...not the fanciest facility...but as soon as they saw the condition she was triaged to the front of the line and looked after. It took hours of scopes and testing but it was done and the after care impeccable. I have seen medical care systems all over the world and have lived in England and seen the medical system in France first hand. They work. There is problems. Most of the problems are caused by those who don't pay attention to their medical needs in the first place. You know, regular check ups. Making sure you have a gp that will notice shit before you have a serious problem. Having additional private health care insurance (it has always been a two tiered system), and just understanding how the system works before you need it. I find most people totally ignorant of the medical system until they need it. Sometimes that is just too late.

BTW, forget the lawsuit. You can't afford to go up against the OMA and the settlement would not be worth it. I know about that as well.

That's impossible. I was just reading on GFY this morning that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Canadian health care system . . . . even though my Canadian friends say otherwise.

would have thought you were fully aware of the meaning of 'doom and gloom'

Who said "doom and gloom?"

Why does anybody CARE about the Canadian healthcare system? Germany's system is what we should be modeling.

Never going to find a PERFECT system anywhere, but this one's better than what we got going on.

I live in the USA and went to a GI specialists years ago, it took about two months or so just to get in there. It also took a long time for any other appointments with them. I guess GI specialists are busy no matter where you live.

I'm sorry to hear how bad Canada healthcare sucks. Why don't you all just move to the United States? :)

The U.S. has the best healthcare money can buy. If your broke, it sucks. If you have health insurance you are limited.

Make money and enjoy the best the world has to offer you right here in the U.S.
