The complaint compartment.

[ultrarunner]

But you sre covered... right?

We have Canadians that self pay and fly to California for surgery because in Canada the premium lens is not an option and just having surgery comes with a wait of more than 12 months

There was Carol Burnett and Walter Matthau movie I believe was titled "Pete & Tilly" where Pete and the son kept adding gasoline to neighbors VW who was a mileage freak....

I did that exact thing to my Dad's VW. By the time I stopped, he claimed it was MAKING gasoline. What fun...

Unfortunately that's something that's not an option in Canada. If you get a doctor here you keep him regardless of how you're treated. Here in NS as of June there's 160K people without a Dr. If you don't have one, It's the clinic with anywhere up to a 4+ hour wait and that's if you get there a couple hours before they open and stand in line.

I've given up on doctors here. I'm just gunna let natural selection take over.
Closest hospital to me is in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and you usually get more disease coming out, then you go in with. Not to mention they killed both my grandparents due to mis-handling them.

That's the opposite picture I get from other people I've read who live in Canada. The health care is free and fantastic.

It just goes to show how stupid half our voting-age population is, that they were in favor of a system billed as "similar to Canada".

I have things I've been dealing with and it's time to do something about them... plus it took me several tries to find someone I like. (Last PA told me that heart palpations are just "panic attacks.")
Round 2 is next week, if it happens again I'll go elsewhere.

GET good Cardiac specialist..... Was in high stress situation a few years ago and was having palpitations also had small heart artery blockage and with having a stint placed in heart and good medications I am a year or two down the road from the heart problems.... Now leading pretty much normal life... As a side note research the palpitation issues, several good articles on i-net from high value medical institutes.... Some people live with palpitations for years and it does not bother them, BUT it was not for me....

Probably malpractice lawsuits … wait, is that allowed in Canada?

But you sre covered... right?

Yup, you're covered but if you can't get in to see anyone what's the use.

..... having to wait more than 12 months

If you can get anything major done in 12 months that's a bonus. Had my knee replaced in March, from initial contact with my Dr. to surgery was just shy of 2 years

That's the opposite picture I get from other people I've read who live in Canada. The health care is free and fantastic.

What province...I'm moving there LOL. Nothing on the people, they are fantastic.

I'm upset that the thread title is complaint compartment, instead of complaint Department!

 

[JethroB]

Got a complaint? Ask to see our manager Helen who in charge of that department. Go to Helen Waite.
