What happen if you're surrounded by Montreal (Canada) and you suddenly hold a problem (not one you'd die from)?
Would you have to wait in those goddamn emergency rooms or is nearby some something that will help you out.
For example, my grandma had this problem a few weeks ago and it was greatly bad (although she wouldn't have died from it) she still suffered. They went to an emergency clinic and they have to wait in the long line near the other sick people there.
Now she keeps complaining more or less how bad our health service is here in Canada.
Is this really true?
Answers:
At smallest it's free health care, next time walk to a walk-in clinic, the waiting time is not as long
Thanks for answering my question, though you seemed to miss the entire point. I want to return it because it appears to have be opened before. The intelligence level on Yahoo! is astoundingly low.
yes some entity wrong there
peoples still more than 12 hours without food or water
to see emergency doctor
My father died surrounded by Montreal General Hospital.
Much depends on where and when you go. Last November, I wiped out on a patch of rime and injured my knee. I hobbled to the ER and was seen inwardly an hour (at 9 am). I was just lucky that there weren't profoundly of really sick/seriously injured people there.
A lot of people don't enjoy family doctors so they use the emergency rooms for everything which causes a lot delay. If your grandmother's problem was really serious, they would have taken her right away (ER do a triage - most important problems take priority, not when you enter). Does she have a family doctor? She should have gone to him/her first. If not, a walk-in clinic. The emergency room should other be the last resort.
The health care system does enjoy problems, including government funding issues, people over-inflating the serious of their problems, a lack of family connections doctors (a lot med students prefer to specialize) but it's still pretty good. I have a colleague who has be dealing with cancer and she had surgery and chemo within a week of diagnosis. You still catch the care you need.
