Every time someone tries to tell me how wonderful Canadian health care is, I tell them the story of my torn rotator cuff (w/ beginning frozen shoulder)a few years back.
It took a whole 2 1/2 weeks to see my GP, get an MRI, see a sports orthopedic surgeon, get additional x-rays, be evaluated for PT (determined I didn’t need surgery), and start PT... and it took that long in the US because it was right around the Christmas and New Years holidays.
If I lived in Canada, waiting for the MRI alone, I would have developed such a frozen shoulder w/ resulting muscle atrophy, I would most likely ended up with a useless right arm.
IIRC Many states in the US have more MRI machines than all of Canada.
This will be our future under ObamaCare or as I like to refer to it ZeroCare.
Not only that, but many CITIES in the United States have more MRI machines than all of Canada. Does anyone know of a single major hospital that doesn’t have an MRI machine?
