I found out they don't teach our doctors here the things that are not funded by our government. The doctors are in fact taught to pretend like your condition is not a medical issue and you don't really need a doctor. I've been trying to convince doctors for 20 years that I am sick and need surgery. I have tumours, but because they are related to over production of hormones, they are not recognized as being a problem. I am devastated by the mistreatment I continue to recieve. I will die from this if I don't get surgery soon. I have to pay hundreds of dollars for my own medication, of which there is only one for my condition. Guess what. 40 - 80% of all women get what I have and in the US it is common practise to provide surgery immediatley for this condition, as it is in many other countries, such as Italy and other parts of Europe. The doctors here LIE to your face and they know its a lie. If I was told about my condition years ago, I would have gladly flown to the US to have surgery. This condition leads to many other health problems that cause so much more stress on the healthcare system. It does not work and I hope they privatize healthcare. By the way, my tumours are likely to grow back. I have them becuase of the hormones food companies put into meat and dairy products. I am sick. I can never be proud to be Canadian after this...Its an embarrassment. Canada’s healthcare professionals are sadley undereducated and inexperienced with many illnesses.

I have NEVER met a Canadian who would trade their health care system for ours--NOT ONE!! The lies are being spread by rethugs and dems that are in the pockets of the greedy insurance companies.
