Wow. That is pretty much how healthcare should work. Aside from the waiting for a bed...but that happens even here in the US. We have "virtual beds" which is just a bed in the hallway where the really sick people wait while another bed is made available. The I tell you...stories like this make me want to move to Canada. My wife is Canadian and she'll jump at the chance to go back. Also, I'm in Florida...and I hate the heat.

I wasn't laying in a hallway waiting. They did move me from an active treatment bay to another room that had been setup for the overflow and it wasn't too bad trying to sleep.
The system isn't perfect but I appreciate that it is there.
What's the elective surgeries like?
Cosmetic surgery would be an example of an elective surgery. It's not medically necessary.
I've heard that elective surgery are what's hard to get...but if it's elective and not life threatening...I don't see the big deal in waiting for a while.
I'm telling you, if I ever make it big with STEEMIT...I'm leaving the USA for Canada :-)
