I've been having a whole whack of health problems and I can't get into a doctor. Apparently my Sinusitis is the kind that could possibly cause meningitis and I can't even get into a ****ing doctor. I can't get a steroid inhaler because of this and I can't even run a few meters anymore without wheezing my lungs out. The next time I can see a doctor? two weeks. my province has a problem with too many elderly people clogging up the system and not enough doctors. I don't want to deal with this anymore, I just need some ****ing antibiotics and then I won't get brain damage.

I am sorry you're experiencing trouble trying to find a doctor for what seems like a pretty simple solution. |

Dunno if I should pay for the options I want, or let the government decide those options and just cross my fingers that those options work for me. |

If you want healthcare options that go way above and beyond what is already available to you, yeah, you have to shell out a lot of money to get what you want - at least here, because there are very few things that AREN'T covered by universal healthcare. Dental care, vision care (except if you have a "pre-existing condition"), elective plastic surgery to name a few. |

Well to put it into personal terms, when I was 18 I fractured my foot while working at the lumberyard and made it worse by working on it for five days after the incident. When I got it x-ray'd they said I'd have my results in a day or two, and I was okay with that, but later on that day I just felt something snap in my foot and had to go to the ER. It was pretty embarrasing because I looked like shit, same clothes for three days, no showers, and I was holding onto my laptop without a case or a bag. It took about 4 hours but I got my results from the x-ray clinic that confirmed the fracture and advised a 6-8 week resting period in a cast. I got the aircast and the prescription for Tylenol 3's (wooo codeine!) and I didn't pay a damn thing except $20 for my drugs. Worker's Comp took care of my aircast and got me 90% of my wages, which was great cause I had just moved and was in dire need of money.
Over the next 2 months I proceeded to have 4 more x-rays taken on my foot to showcase my healing. I didn't have to pay for any of those x-rays, while at the same time in America, my mum had to have x-rays on her lungs because she got bronchitis and those x-rays cost her a good $600. I remember her bringing up the bill while we conversed and I suddenly got paranoid that a bill would be coming for me, but one never came and my WC guy explained to me how the system works. As BD said, it's got its flaws, but I would feel a hell of a lot better under that than what I'm currently under in the States. Back in March my grandfather pretty much passed out while we were having dinner and I called 911. He got taken to the hospital and was going to be staying the weekend, which resulted in a pretty steep fee despite his Veteran's status and health coverage. I believe he's still paying those bills off. |

I am tired of my education.
I haven't had more than 40 minutes to myself in two months, and those precious minutes are spent working rather than easing my exhausted mind. I have had at least one midterm exam every week since the first of October. The work is absolutely ceaseless. I get one meal a day, my hair is coming out at an above average rate, I'm exhausted every morning, and the sink is so piled with dishes I haven't had time to do that the dishwater has turned black. LITERALLY BLACK. What the hell DOES that to water? LHJdskjhadyugjhfalsuh. ****, I'm so tired. |

It's worth it when you're done. I'm studying now too and it's self directed so I decide when I'm ready to take my tests.
