Yes,kmeb,you are so right about the healthcare we canadians have, though many,many people complain about it.I had no problems at either of the Hospitals I was in, then when my daughter got cancer 7 years ago, she got excellant care, at all 3 Hospitals, and when she spent her final days at pallative care, she was treated with love and much respect, as were our family. Some have said she got such greaty care because she was just a child, but I beg to differ, she got great care because her caregivers cared.It was such a horrible time for me, but every nurse and doctor made it so much easier for us, I wish everyone could get such great care.
