There was a little sarcasm intended when I posted the article. Of course, there's plenty of reasons that a loving family would want to move a critically injured family member out of Canada - and they all have to do with Canada's Socialized Health Care.
Montreal is not a little city. In fact, it's quite a large city. And, the hospital Ms. Richardson was in was the BEST hospital in Montreal. But, because of the extreme limitations in Canada's HC System and the resulting degradation of services, skills and equipment in Canada hospitals, her family elected to move a critically injured patient with severe head trauma to get better care.
That should tell everyone a little something about the pitfalls of socialized medicine.
It probably speaks more of that particular hospital.
