I think there are band-aid doctors around too. However, there are excellent ones in the mix. This medical practitioners who fail at their responsibilities should pay for their incompetence since we are entrusting them with our health and life directly. It's not like fixing cars that you could just bring it back to the mechanic if it won't start anymore
Lazy doctors and an overworked health system. I have lost all faith in the canadian healthcare system. My best friends grandfather just passed from cancer. He had lung cancer and it was three months before they started him on chemo. Well the cancer spread to his liver and brain in those three months. He's dead now.
I hear ya bro, i walked around with pneumonia for 4 months of last year because these asshoes cant do their jobs properly
It's not all doom and gloom...I've had nothing but good experiences myself. I guess we're lucky to have a good family doctor. February 2009, my mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and within a week, she was undergoing radiation treatments. June 2009, she was cancer free, and still is to this day. We have some of the best cancer research centres in the world.
Sucks that there are so many horror stories out there it seems.
True.they cover each others asses.They change the records if they have to.
Well I went over the parents house yesterday and my mom isn't going to pursue this. She's not going to sue him or anything. I am in disbelief right now. Now I'm not a greedy sue happy time person but I would at least like to see his license revoked or some type of administrative punishment.
This is the net result of a universal health care system. The first thing that happens is the "braindrain" because no matter how good of a doctor you are you will make the same $$$$ as the worst doc. in the next room. There's no incentive to be the best. So they go to greener pature's.
Universal health care puts doctors into a "slave" of society catagory, health care is a "right" and thats where it fails.
I could take my car to Bob, he's cheap but everyone knows he's a shitty mechanic. Or i could take my car to Frank, sure he's more expensive, but he gets the work done everytime.
The end result is that we now all have the right to the same shitty health care. No "special" treatments. We are all equal, thats the Canadian way...
Exploit the earth or die..
Doctors, Dentists ect.. Regulate themselves. The only way to have it noticed is if another Doc says the Doc in question was negligent. Hard to do. Another way (best way) is to sue for damages because this situation could have been avoided if diagnosed properly (forcing his community to look into it and punish him). I'm not a Lawyer, but she does have a good case IMHO. I'd persue it because god only knows what this clown might do to other people! Or maybe he has done it to other people already? Scary thought! I'd convince my mom to talk to a Lawyer because how much money is she going to lose during/after this guys negligence? How much are meds and therapy? Emotional stress, can she do the same job after this? ect.. It has nothing to do with seeking a lottery ticket! Sue this clown and get what he did noticed! Talk to a Lawyer, it costs you nothing. You walk in sit down and he asks questions. Then he says yes or no if he will take the case. If he says yes, you sign a few papers and he does the rest. He will explain to you that at the end of the settlement he will take 30%. Again, you pay absolutely nothing! It's up to the Lawyer now to get you justice! He will fight hard for you because he's making a percentage. It will take her an hour out her day. If you're in Edmonton hit me with a PM..
Believe me dude I tried for an hour to talk her into a lawsuit. She wouldn't listen to me. She says she has enough stress(waiting for a kidney/pancreas transplant) and doesn't want anymore she just wants it over with and to forget about it.
Trust me a I argued about it. The second doctor she saw a week later even said she should have been started on the antibiotics RIGHT AWAY. I told her she has a good case. She won't listen.
