If I need an MRI for ANY reason, I have at least a half dozen facilities within a 10 mile radius to choose from and I can get in and have it done within a week. The only one I had done was due to an injured shoulder playing softball and I had it done 4 days after making the appointment.

About 20 years ago myself and some friends took the train from Winsor to Toronto to see Phantom of the Opera. While on the train, I talked with a Canadian lady who said she was going to Toronto to have a CT scan that had been scheduled 10 months prior............

Every time I talk to a liberal jackass who makes the claim that Canada's healthcare system is superior to ours, I point out the following statistic........And it should be noted that if the non life threatening injury was similar to mine, you can bet the wait time in Canada will be well over the 63 day average.....

Ontario leads the country in CT & MRI wait times reductionsOAKVILLE, ON, June 12, 2013 /CNW/

"Less than 10 years ago CT wait lists were 8-12 months long versus today's average of 35 days, and in many cases much less. MRI waits used to be 12-18 months and are now 63 days on average. This dramatic reduction and measurable improvement in patient care came about because the Ontario Ministry of Health listened to the advice of Ontario radiologist experts about how to effect change and provided the necessary tools so that better care was delivered sooner and locally," said Dr. Prieditis.

Indeed.

When I went to visit my back doc about some pain I was having, he called the private hospital close by and I was seen 3-hrs later.
