Cancer can be very expensive. My father had cancer for 8 years. I don't think they do it anymore but they used to give you these papers whenever you underwent a treatment in a Quebec hospital for cancer (chemo, radiation etc.) that gave you the cost to the GVT. Anyway we added them up after he died and the final bill was something like 9 million. To put things in perspective he did 184 radiation injections over that time period at $2000 a shot, along with many operations, countless medications, chemotherapy, hospital stays, specialist consultations, tests, bone marrow transplants, blood transfusions, home treatment etc.

I understand the concept that having insurance is -EV but I'm always going to have it (I even buy it here in Canada). Theoretically it's not a good play but not having it would break me mentally especially when it comes to health which is one area I don't want to fuck around with since you have one shot at it.

Am at the clinic right now. Had to wait in a hot and humid stairwell for 30mins cause no one was there. Receptionist finally showed up but then she realized that she forgot the key. Another 15mins later, we're in, but there are no doctors here.

One woman went to use their washroom and came back 30secs later saying "your toilet is clogged up." The receptionist replied "yeah, it rained yesterday."

Ca-na-da, Ca-na-da, Ca-na-da!

It's not better in the US and we pay a ton for premiums. You go to your doctor's appointment at 8 and you don't see the doctor until 10. They take your blood pressure, weight and height and leave you waiting. I can take my blood pressure at Walgreen's for free and I have a scale home!
 
My Grandma had cancer, lost her hair and everything. She wanted to just let it run it's course, so she was dieing and so my granpa almost drank himself to death, she finally went to treatment for Granpa's sake, and she is better now. I can remember seeing her take her wig off though, I could handle everything just fine till I saw that, and that did me in, I had to leave to room for the rest of the day. Ended up hanging in the basement/bar all day instead. I need to go visit my family soon, I have not visited with them in years. I am an asshole.

Though it seems after reading many stories here, that many people beat it, so Fivey, you had better win!

I'd say slim to none considering his statement:

Bad news boys. I have cancer. I would implore all to get all strange bumps or moles checked out.

I was expecting cancer, but not for another 20 years.

There's so much I wanted to do. Oh well.

Doctor - Your pulse is a bit low. We're gonna monitor your heart for 24hrs. Take this to the lab.
Me - What lab?
Doctor - Same lab you had your blood test done.
Me - It was here.
Doctor - Really? That sucks! Okay, there's another place across the street, take it there.

20min walk later

Receptionist - The doctor isn't here today but this other clinic will take you, it's a short subway ride to Jane station.

I am pretty sure he is making you walk all over town so your pulse will go up.
