And yet there you are in that very post I left a link to pissing and moaning about a long wait time for health care.
The fact is your post is bullshit and so are you. You always have been. It was a dick post and so is the one I quoted in this post. You didn't show anyone how to wait patiently nor do I even believe you were at a care facility a couple weeks ago. Because your bullshit and always will be.

Saint, Ive never had nothin bad to say about you and never really disagree, but that was a shit post, wtf man
Just an update from the bone surgeon. The real one not the assistant who set her arm. I asked him if this was a bad break and he said yes this is considered a bad break. It could be 6 to 8 months before she is back.
He did not do too much today. He basically looked at it through the soft cast and looked at the x-rays taken at the hospital before and after it was set.
He said he didn't want to unwrap it now because the whole thing might explode. She has feeling in her fingers and is in only slight pain. So he wants to wait until next week to take another x-ray, with the cast on. It most likely will be 2 and a half weeks before he puts her in a hard cast. Right now her whole arm is wrapped right up to her arm pit. Wrapped as in a soft cast. Thick as Hell. And she is in a sling. A real pain in the ass. lol! I laugh because I am doing all the heavy lifting here! I feel sorry for myself. :facepalm:
So that's were we stand but also it confirms to myself that this was a major break and the four and a half hour wait was nuts.

Not at the hospital I'm working in or based on what I've seen elsewhere. The ER is a joke and full of people with non-emergent needs who all have their handy dandy Obamacare Medicaid. Most arrive by EMS too no matter their ailment bc they aren't paying for it.

Imagine folks hurt and want to be helped....the nerve of them....Still can't understand why certain countries ( let's take Canada for example ) would want to help and insure that there citizens are taken care of....Anyone have a reason for this?....( smile ) [emoji1063]

And all the good Canadian doctors come to the States, and you have to wait 16 months for an elective surgery. The rich Canadians come across the border for surgery.
The states have excellent medical schools brother, doctors from everywhere often take their schooling here. There may be a wait for elective surgery in Canada, yet hers would not be elective. I don't know why the collective argument against universally available health care is always that it won't work here or the wait is too long, etc.... The facts don't bear that out.
Just sayin

The above is an incorrect categorization. I most definitely wouldn't list the ones moving down there as "all the good Canadian doctors," but certainly, there are many who do choose that option as they are primarily driven by monetary gain above all else. And yes, many wealthy citizens also choose the southern route for convenience and because they can. And your number regarding the amount of time a citizen has to wait is, of course, erroneous and greatly exaggerated. Here are two reports that provide a more accurate assessment of wait times, despite being negative in their tone.

However, no one is denied help or turned away because they can't afford it. Similarly, very rarely are families bankrupted due to one's illness. So there's that as well. Just sayin'....
Peace!
I'm for a system where all able bodied people work and pay their own way.

Nobody is denied here either for emergencies. I exaggerated some yes, but mainly my post was a retort to Amethest bragging lol.
Okay just tell me how you plan on making that possible. How many surgeries can a family of two adults pay for at $7.00 an hour? How much is an inhaler or cipro without insurance?
If you're asserting you want everyone to pony up for the must expensive average health care in the world, tell me how that's even remotely possible? I'll hang up and listen for your answer.

Its a shame that health care has become a business
You cannot trust doctors these days
They no longer have our best interest in mind
He didnt take her out of her soft cast??? That scares me a bit.. Either way I would get a second opinion.. Most likely she will end up with pins and surgery.. Which in the long run is probably better anyway even with the longer recovery
Good luck:toast:
I took her into the surgeon yesterday and he took an x-ray through the soft cast. He said it is not healing correctly and suggested surgery.
I should not be surprised but have been waiting all day for the Surgery Coordinator or whatever to get back to us with the date.
