Considering you're not insured the person least likely to have used the Canadian healthcare system here is... You

Watching my uncle die of a brain tumour while they insisted it was depression was an eye opener. They've chased all tje decent medical professionals south with their bullshit system.

I really hope the federal government doesn't "nationalize" dentistry. Right now if I need care I can get it. Other than emergencies I'm to fuck off under the current regime. The doctors have left. They dicked around for 2 years over a customers prostate cancer now it's spread, he'll be dead this time next year.

Why did you change the subject just now after I provided misdiagnosis numbers in the USA?

[–] John_McMurray@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't. The part on topic was in the second half.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You did, I showed that misdiagnosis happen in the USA as well, you just started talking about your anecdote again without addressing the fact that it might as well have happened in the USA.

[–] John_McMurray@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It didn't happen in the USA genius.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But it does happen in the USA as well, that's the whole point! You're pissed because of your anecdote so you ignore the fact that 800k families have the same anecdotes in the USA!

Those 800k other anecdotes didn't happen because government policy chased all.the doctors out of the country leaving us with the bottom of the barrel stressed out to the nines. Can't get a doctor now If I want one, had to basically bribe a nurse to get my class one medical done. Nurses, nurse practicioners and pharmacists can do that, now, btw, government realized truckers not being able to see doctors to get government mandated medicals was counter productive.

Still dodging! The point still stands, medical mistakes still happen in the private system across the border, you're blaming the public system because you're angry at it so you keep ignoring that the same thing could have happened in the USA (and a big part of the blame for your personal situation goes to you in fact, maybe it's because you know it but can't accept it that you're so angry, you should get that looked into, good news, psychologists are mostly operating privately... Funny how access to one is a major issue though 🤔)
