Wow, good find Springman!

Let’s spread it around.

:-)

(Read the post right above yours...LOL!)

Just a heads up on a National Post acticle, posted in 2002.

It seems relevant, now.

Thanks, Springman.

[fanfan]

socialismisinsidious, I meant to ping you too.

Thanks for all your pings.

[Cindy]

Yep. It’s very relevant.

Thank you fanfan for the ping.

The median wait across Canada for a CAT scan was 5.2 weeks. The median wait for an MRI was 12.4 weeks. The median wait for an ultrasound was 3.2 weeks.

I wonder if this study accounts for the number of people generously dying before their appointment perhaps skewing these long waits downward?

I'll bet that there's a lot of teeth-gnashing up there if they get "House" up there ... there's a CAT scan or MRI every 5 minutes. ;-)

You’re welcome, Cindy.

Hey Springman. Good to see you still around.

[InvisibleChurch]

Thank you for posting for me.
