Default canadian patients are warning about CCSVI treatment after care issues

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories...stents-101113/

I had to load the page 3 times to get the video to work for me. keep trying.


Some patients who left Canada to get CCSVI angioplasty treatment in other countires are running into trouble after having stents placed.

Having a stent CAN place you at greater risk for blood clots and other issues, but they are not being warned of such thing by the treating clinic. They are treated and released, only to go home and find Canada is refusing to take care of those complications once they get home. Canada views what they did as against Canadian healthcare, and since they have no idea what happened to them away from Canada, they want nothing to do with trying to fix it now that they are home.

I found it interesting that even tho these women are suffering worse sx than before the liberation they all said they want to do it again, to try to reverse some of the issues they are left with.

Is that a common thing in canada? Can they refuse to help you if you went outside the country for a proceedure? how scary!
