I had a badly torn rotator cuff. Being in the land of socialised medecine, as in long waits for treatment, I was in excrutiating pain for 7 months while waiting for a scan. The Canadian surgeon was ready for me but until I had the arthroscope (?) done he could not operate. I called the doctor's office several times to see when the procedure could be done, I was on the list, I'd just have to wait.
Eventually I got fed up with being in really bad pain all the time, so I called the Altru Clinic in Grand Forks ND on a Friday morning and on Tuesday I had the scan and was back in Winnipeg Thursday and had the op on Friday. Took a long time to get better, at least a year.
So the socialised medecine in Manitoba is free if you do not mind waiting till you die first because of the wait for surgery.
I would pay for private medical treatment out of my own pocket for me and my family, but due to Socialist Claptrap we are not permitted to do so in Manitoba. What a crock. Of course if any of our beloved Socialist Government members or there family members are in need, they go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn! One rule for us, another for you, you grubby little stinky peasant!
Mike, the non-socialist.
