Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Please don't keep your remarks to yourself. They were very valid points and why I asked to learn more about New Brunswick in particular. Now if you made remarks about US Health Care in General I would agree with them. ly I find it pretty disgusting in many respects too. Most specifically its being driven by the insurance companies. As a result doctors are having less and less time to spend with and communicate with their patients. In the US hospital errors are up dramatically and well hidden, staph infection in hospitals is more rampant than known. My disappointment was frankly that I hoped to find Canada better. I have friends in the UK and hoped to find it better. Worldwide we research and develop new techniques but basic patient care isn't what I wish it was. I expect it to get much worse in the US, frankly, as insurers continue to apply pressure to cut costs. I'm sure Canadian provinces continue to search for ways to maintain budgets. I can read from a distance about quality health care in countries I've never been to, but I suspect if one were there we'd find the same issues. I'm thrilled to hear you're getting quality care and would like to know more about the quality in your province. Maybe it would be a good example as to the right way to do things. We sure need one. If you took my comments as an attack on Canada and everything Canadian and all Provinces and all Health Care then I apologize. But, I had a very important friend going through hell and it hurt. I was equally livid last week about Apria and Cigna and oxygen in the US. Now there are those who get good service from Apria. But as long as they were treating Joyce and as they were, that was my only thoughts regarding them. As to Canada I would love to visit there and I long ago did even consider what it would be like to live there. So many wonderful things. Many things in this country I'm not too pleased with. There are certain states and areas in the US where I wouldn't live today because of the health care. But I think highly of the people and the areas. Unfortunately, they lag in terms of health care. It doesn't mean I hate the state or the people. In fact, it means I wish they had better because they deserve it. Same with education and other issues. Its your choice whether to keep your opinions to yourself but I personally wish you wouldn't. I'll gladly take criticism for anything I say offensive. I'll also continue to express my opinions. They will at times be swayed by strong emotions as were yours. > > > > > > Oh No, Are you in contact by phone? That scares me silly to think > > how > > > many germs are on the floor.
