In Canada people without money also have waiting problems when they get sick.
In March 2006, Mary Lou Frye had a seizure and drove off the Fraser Highway into a ditch. A CAT scan revealed a golf ball-sized tumour behind her left eye. She had surgery in May 2006, but bleeding cut the operation short, leaving part of the tumour.
She now has two tumours in her brain, but since January Frye has had her surgery postponed six times, the latest last Friday when four other neurosurgery cases were also postponed.
We are not alone in our inadequate hospital response time...
