I still remembered when the Canadians butchers this lady's care and she had to be flown from Montreal to New York in a last dtich effort, but the Canadians had already done their damage and it was too late. Natasha Richardson has been flown to New York following her skiing accident in Montreal, Canada, the NY Daily News reported. Richardson, the wife of "Taken" star Liam Neeson and daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, was reportedly flown home earlier today. VIEW THE PHOTOS: Leading Lady Of Screen & Stage: Natasha Richardson The couple have an apartment in NYC. She reportedly left the Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal on Tuesday and left the country at 12:30 PM local time, Josee-Michelle Simard, a hospital spokesperson, told the paper.
I should remind people as outlined in previous threads that Canadian government surveys showed that 10% of Canadians have voluntarily traveled to the U.S. and paid out of pocket for medical care. The usual reasons for this included getting faster service rather than waiting months for MRIs, dental care, etc. and getting care not offered in their area of Canada. Additionally Canada also ships many patients to the U.S. for care within their paid medical system. For example, 10% of the patients at Duke Heart Center (located near us) are sent from Canada for care in the U.S.
I think that 10% is equal for both sides...similar reasons. Regardless, Canada has a "retirement of family physicians" problem right now along with family physicians increasing inability to order advanced diagnostic tests...I'm not sure if the two issues are related. Also, my physician went on a 3-month sabbatical after the Pandemic. The Pandemic burned him out and he retires in a few more years. Recent medical care: My doctor in Canada recently requested an MRI and other scans as a routine annual checkup. They scheduled me for appointments 2 days later at the local hospital. Also, my teenagers and I called the dental office for routine dental checkups...there was a 2-week delay before we were able to see the dentist. In contrast, a few years ago I had a cyst above a tooth I believed had died...maybe damaged when my daughter accidentally hit me in the face when I was showing her how to lift a rowing scull. I went to the dentist for emergency care (the pain was unbelievable)...I waited in the lobby for about an hour before receiving emergency dental treatment. I walked out of the dental office about 2 1/2 hours later. In contrast, my last visit to the States...I developed an equilibrium problem. Went to see the doctor...he then said the earliest an ENT specialist (they suspected Vertigo) could see me was a 8 month waiting list. The next day I went to the VA hospital and saw an ENT specialist the same day...they discovered an ear infection. I was given some antibiotics and sent home with some more medication for the remainder of the month...I have not had any more equilibrium problems. A big concern because the first time it occurred...I was rowing alone out on the lake. I barely made it back to shore. My teenagers joked...they said maybe it was a brain worm eating part of my brain. wrbtrader
Please just stop with your moron monkey posts. Obama's beach house is just normal size. That kind of place is cheap to build but murderously cold in winter.
What is the point of that? It's not bringing any CEOs back to life now is it? In all major social medicine systems they operate on a need basis with acute cases getting sorted fast (regardless of financial status just rich areas have better services usually) but less severe ones taking often too long. In the UK you are perfectly able to access private doctors when you don't want the inconvenience. I have a couple of times made my way to a Harley Street doctor. It was kinda eye watering but actually cheap compared to the US. When I was injured filming a stunt for episode of Buffy, I was literally bundled into a cab and dropped at an ER, then fired, because their lawyers told them to. That was a fun day. You can be darn sure that many Amercians find ways to avail of Canadian health care, meds etc. However I do remember when I was in Houston in 2019 asking why the car park of the next place was filling up with cars and people were camping. Seems a weird event, not a Black Friday or tickets thing. Apparently it was a free cancer clinic opening in the morning and people were coming from hundreds of miles away. Social medicine has indignities but it's a much less horrifying indignity to a huge degree.
She was at Hôpital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal, you fucking stooge. Montreal is a city of 1.8 million people. It ought to have a half decent hospital. December 12, 2024 Canada’s median health-care wait time hits 30 weeks—longest ever recorded In 2024, physicians across Canada reported a median wait time of 30.0 weeks between a referral from a GP and receipt of treatment. Up from 27.7 in 2023. This is 222% longer than the 9.3 week wait Canadian patients could expect in 1993. Ontario reported the shortest total wait (23.6 weeks), followed by Quebec (28.9 weeks) and British Columbia (29.5 weeks). Patients waited longest in Prince Edward Island (77.4 weeks), New Brunswick (69.4 weeks) and Newfoundland and Labrador (43.2 weeks). Patients waited the longest for Orthopaedic Surgery (57.5 weeks) and Neurosurgery (46.2 weeks). By contrast, patients faced shorter waits for Radiation Oncology (4.5 weeks) and Medical Oncology (4.7 weeks). The national 30 week total wait is comprised of two segments. Referral by a GP to consultation with a specialist: 15.0 weeks. Consultation with a specialist to receipt of treatment: 15.0 weeks. More than 1900 responses were received across 12 specialties and 10 provinces. After seeing a specialist, Canadian patients waited 6.3 weeks longer than what physicians consider to be clinically reasonable (8.6 weeks). Across 10 provinces, the study estimated that patients in Canada were waiting for 1.5 million procedures in 2024. Patients also suffered considerable delays for diagnostic technology: 8.1 weeks for CT scans, 16.2 weeks for MRI scans, and 5.2 weeks for Ultrasound.

The thing Amercians need to understand is Canadian via British + German/French etc, Nordics a little different, didn't happen because of socialism. They happened because after the wars, the upper tiers realised there was a demographic problem and they needed to replenish the population ASAP. The best way to achieve this was to have more children survive and elderly to help babysit. The NHS and similar have a lovely story of good people pulling together but they got the money because the rich decided it was in their interest. The USA has always had a endless supply for fresh young blood so never reached that point.
Obama told you cut your carbon footprint. Now do as your told and stop polluting. Obama will do his part and cut back also. He doesnt use a 747 to take Michelle on shopping trips anymore.
