Written by someone that has no clue about Canadian Healthcare
You mean it’s worse than he says?
A Canadian Friend had an ACL tear repaired in Canada. The operation was botched. He had to wait a year to get it fixed there. He hobbled around in visible pain while he counted the days. That’s one thing I know about Canadian healthcare.
And that kind of wait is more than enough to know about that system.
So is it better in Canada, or worse?
I remember hearing a few years back that Cleveland had more MRI machines than all of Canada. People would wait for months for an MRI.
Canada medical care sucks, and those that like it don’t have a clue what they are missing.
For instance, MRI machines, a common item in American hospitals that afford same day, even same hour, imaging are in very short supply in Canada where MRI imaging is rationed with “wait lists”.
“For instance, Japan and the United States have 35.3 and 19.5 MRI units per million population, respectively, whereas Canada has only 4.6. (Stein 2005). The number of MRI scanners in Canada is lower than the median of 6.1 scanners per million for all countries within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (Stein 2005).”
