Ministers and provincial leaders frequently come to the US for treatments they can’t get in Canada.
I wonder if the Quebec Provence is different. More well-funded perhaps. Timely effective care doesn’t seem to be an issue there.
I’m 12 years out. When I saw my oncologist last to have my port removed, about 6 years ago at the insistance of my primary, he was surprised I was alive. Sometimes treatment works!
All my best to you in your fight. I hope you have rewards that the grands can bring.
“Sometimes treatment works!”
Absolutely, good to hear! And we are staying positive. We are just tired of being the ones who have to stay on top of them to treat in a timely manner as it should be. They keep rescheduling treatments and such pushing it out and delaying treatments. These delays are self defeating and not helping one bit. It is like they are purposely dragging it out so that it doesn’t actually work.
I am now convinced the standard of operation is to create future repeat business of one sort or another for the industry as a whole. They send each other business using poor decisions and delays. And the incompetence is off the charts, we have caught them five or six times now to prevent serious mistakes. Thankfully our kids are in the medical industry and are on top of it. Did you know Medical error is the third leading cause of death?

There was a woman sent from Calgary (which boasts one of Canada’s premier medical centers) to lil’ podunk Great Falls, Montana, to give birth to quadruplets. It seems one of Canada’s top medical facilities couldn’t handle the anticipated complications.
Probably still free though
It might not have cost Karen Jepp anything but it certainly wasn’t “free.” Socialist countries with “single-payer” systems tend to have colossal tax rates.

Yes i remember that.
But as I say cancer care in Quebec is second to none.
New brunswick was functioning with one psychiatrist in the entire province.
Perhaps Quebec gets more than their fair share?
