Nope, just saying that my experiences (and there have been many) with the medical system have been far from the reported stories.
My father in law is in a Ottawa hospital as we speak, and has had very serious heart issues over the past few years. He has had nothing but the best in care. He has had 2 open heart surgeries in the past 2 years (plus other minor ones)and has not had to wait more than a few days from the time they established that he had to go under again. I have heard the horror stories of people dieing while waiting for a bed, but I have yet to see it. Yes if you show up to the emergency room with an earache, you are going to wait, if it's serious, in you go.
