"""It is not fair."""
Tell that to Dr. F**k! (no, the two stars don't stand for "uc".)
And no I don't blame Dr. F**k because I'm reasonably certain that it's our criminally insane Liberal government that dictates to these private medical clinics not to let Canadian Medicare get stuck with any pricey follow up procedures. Unless the patient is already half dead, of course.
So until the Liberals are out of power and Stephen Harper takes over the helm I recommend to my fellow Canadians that they have their initial diagnostic tests done in the U.S. where doctors are not forced to break their oaths to always act in the best interest of the patient just to save Canadian Medicare a few bucks.
"""You should by all means have the tests done to determine if it is cancer before it spreads."""
I did. And I'm fine. But I DO worry about all the people who always trust their doctors.
The things you have said here make me happy that we do not have socialized medicine. I suppose that no system is perfect.
