ok so i called my mom and she slipped on the ice and ended up fracturing the bone btwn her wrist and elbow..her right hand and she's right handed..
soooo my brother and sister in law took her to the hospital and they got there at 6pm...they diagnosed it and put on a temporary cast and not an actual one..because that hospital "doesn't do that"..she had to make an appointment and has to go back Monday morning to another Hospital.
and by the way...they left the hospital at 12:30am...so about 6 hours and a half..of mostly waiting
and in case you didn't know..when you work...they tax your paycheck 40% mostly goes to healthcare
i HATE socialized healthcare
and i repeat..had i been born in the US, i'm sure my dad would still be alive

there is prob pluses and minuses for each system, im still not sure which one i like. i hear that the system in germany right now is really good, its universal healthcare, but different then canada.
