What do I know about Canada?

I know when you need good Medical Care in a reasonable amount of time, you come to the United States.

I know that wait times for Medical Care are on the increase.

I know that Canada has a shortage of Doctors and Nurses and are leaving to seek employment in the United States.

I know this firsthand. I had surgery a couple of weeks ago. The wound wasn't packed right, and it started bleeding like crazy the next day.

I waited over three hours at the emergency room, and lost something like half a liter of blood.

This was not a fatal circumstance, but just imagine what could have happened in that three hours had it been fatal.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope your recovering well... I recall an interview where actor Liam Neeson described his experience at a Montreal Hospital when his Wife Natasha Richardson was injured in a Ski accident, She was in the care of young doctors who Neeson described as looking 18 years old, She unfortunately died later. Experience goes a long way, especially in the operating room when human lives are at stake.

If I may ask; Do Canadians have the right to sue for malpractice?

 

[Puckerhuddle]

It still beats no coverage at all. Leading cause of US personal bankruptcies, medical bills. That cannot be very healthy for any society.

From what I understand, it is doable.

Since this was my first exposure to the medical world "in action", it has gotten me curious about medical law.

Practitioners such as doctors typically operate as an incorporated business, and bill the provincial health insurance plan as regulation allows for it. That said, I can't see any reason why I couldn't sue a doctor's practice for screwing up on something.

Dr. Example's Office Inc., would be the same legal entity type as, say, Example Roofing Inc., so it does not seem possible to me to somehow differentiate the liability from one business to the other.

I'd rather go 100K in debt than be on the operating table with a guy operating on me who just completed his internship.. In other words; I'd rather be alive and broke than dead and well off.

And I thought the leading cause of personal bankruptcy was personal debt such as credit cards, home and auto loans. At any rate, we should note the US population stands at 312 Million, we have 30 million Americans who are uninsured for a variety of reasons, we could of done something to insure these people without Government taking over the entire health care system, Which will hurt the care we now receive, will lead to higher unemployment, add trillions more in debt and will destroy any chance of our economy recovering.

Happy Canada Day! From Canadian.com

 

[cbk]

An American, a Scot and a Canuk were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.

"Well," said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth."

He continued, " So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here."

"That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other two?"

"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."





HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

hopefully someone will poop all over a july 4th thread in your honor. insurance is a scam. they will look for any reason to deny your claim. it just doesn't work.

Is a matter a fact, the OP of this thread did exactly that on Veterans day.

Seems that what comes around goes around.

Yes, in the US, people do not die from blunt head trauma to the head (after refusing to go to the hospital TWICE) and people do not have have medical errors in the US. We are perfect. Ask us.

What Do You Know About Canada?

What do I know about Canada? I know Sarnia has the most beautiful girls in the world and I should have brought that property on the coast of Nova Scotia. And, I still might buy that ocean property in Nova Scotia.

 

[Mark Talbot]

Whats a ... "c-a-n-a-d-a"?

Is that something like,.. "o-u-t-o-f-d-o-o-r-s"??

 

[Raider]

I also know that in Canada when a convicted Murderer is killed by a Black Bear, they will KILL the Bear.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/06/04/black-bear-euthanized-after-eating-canada-murderer/

British Columbia official said the reason for putting the bear down was because "bears remember food sources"

That would be a understandable reason IF it wasn't for the fact the Bear pulled the murderer out from his car. LOL.

"the Scot was haggling over the price"

Unfortunately, Sanctus Domainus has turned on the OP at every chance and had to take yet another celebratory thread and make it her own sick twisted BS.
