A solid portion of Redditors are old enough to predate Obama's Cash for Clunkers program that made personal vehicles impossibly expensive for most people.
The program gave people incentive to sell their old vehicles to the government, as opposed to selling them into the used car market.
The government then turned around and destroyed all said old vehicles.
Said old vehicles are now no longer in the market, meaning supply has dried up, so prices go up to compensate.
The used car market in American has basically gone bug-fuck insane as a result. Last I checked, I could stand a good chance at selling my current car at or above what I paid for it. That's not normal.
Not to say anything about the program, but I have to point out that used car prices have exploded since 2019 here as well. I was looking for one then, and if I had bought it, I probably could sell it for (about) the same price now.
Vehicle prices ever since then have been rapidly increasing, similarly to houses, at a rate that is almost impossible to sustain. And while people can rent homes forever, they can't with cars, so its going to explode badly quite soon.
Its not that, they are just stupid as fuck and can't connect cause and effect. They got programmed with Marxism good so all these Marxist ideas just haven't been done hard enough. People just arent trying hard enough to make them work. This time it'll work you see!
OP’s experience is pretty similar to what I’ve seen at VA clinics. I’m convinced that they half-assed my father in law’s cancer diagnosis so that by the time they caught it, it was too late.
When I went to the va, it took me 4 months to get a referral, 11 months to see the specialist, and he told me the va takes too long just go pay out of pocket and closed the referral. Thanks doc.
Yeah, the widely accepted (globally I mean) NHS guideline for any heart concerns is '4h at most' IIRC (for all urgent ER stuff actually, as I recall)
And that's their shitty max. Aus was getting to 4.5-5h waits for that sometimes, 10 is absolutely insane. Having said that, if you're not showing certain symptoms, you're technically still urgent, but they're just monitoring you in the waiting room. If you're all cold and clammy with a sweat going, they think it's actual heart issues and will rush you right in. If it's just complaints of a sharp pain or something an hour ago you aren't actually 'urgent-urgent', you're at the tail end of that 4h guideline. Because a lot (not all) of the other cases are pinched nerves, anxiety, and first bad heartburn.
When I was in the ER, waiting (longer than I should have been) the worst was a heavily pregnant woman in clear distress waiting 1.5hours. The other patients were attending to her, absolute insanity. 2-3 of them were malingerers after some drugs. You're not wrong, a stay in the ER as an 'urgent, but sit and wait 4+ hours' patient is one hell of a wake up call and experience.
Went home, took a tylenol,
Well at least you are now eligible for autism benefits.
Do get yourself checked, ignoring heart stuff is an easy way to die. Just know a wait isn't actually unexpected unless you're showing some certain other signs they're watching out for.
I've been told by fans of both Canadian and UK healthcare that this time discrimination is a feature and not a bug. I was told that long wait times forced people to really consider whether or not they really needed the treatment.
Shit like this is why I am convinced that price discrimination is better than time discrimination.
I think you are beginning to see why the Canadian government just conducted it's first ever organ transplant from a MAID patient.
Yeah, I don't even necessarily condemn the concept of assisted suicide in some cases, but it's clear to me now that the government must be criminalized from participating in it.
I have been waiting for an exam with a ''must be done within 4 to 6 weeks'' timeline for over 8 months now. The doctor dosen't know what's taking them so long and apparetly the request is there in the hospital's system.
Been in pain with limited mobility since the injury almost a year ago, and what I got from several doctors is ''I don't know what is going on''.
It wasen't like that in the 1990's, before immigration totally overrun everything.
In all seriousness, that sounds hellish. Thanks for the time and effort that went into writing that out. For losing weight, I think you already have the idea, but 90% is controlling what you eat. Of course physical exercise is great too and can really help you along, but it is very difficult to out work a bad diet. Calorie count explicitly for a while and then you'll get a good enough idea to roughly calculate throughout the day to ensure you're in a calorie deficit.
I would strongly advise getting some blood tests as well. Being deficient in something like Vitamin D is very common and easy to remedy, and fixing it can do wonders for your health.
MAID just had the first instance of organ transplants going to other patients. They are now literally killing people to harvest their organs, and I assure you there is a profit incentive behind it.
Carney's eugenicist, anti-White commie deathcult regime with "Elbows Up!" TDS somehow includes killing White Leafs then shipping their hearts & parts to Jews south of the border.
I work with a bunch of medical people that actually believe this shit, but they also won't actually go work in Canada because the wages are lower. Like duh, socialized healthcare and low wages go hand in hand.
I used to be an EMT in the US and I saw everything about the health care system (and cops, but that's another story). The main thing is the United States can never, ever have universal health care because a small segment of the population would drain it completely within months.
When I say "a small segment" it sounds like I'm talking about niggers and that's somewhat right, there were a number of niggers and they have no issue taking more than what they deserve/have earned, but it's also very poor spics- the kind that has five kids in a studio apartment and doesn't speak a word of English, the kind where the father has been banned from every liquor store within ten miles because he passes out in the store.
It's also fat people (which fit both niggers and spics even a few Whites). They are the main reason we can't have it. I lived in a pretty healthy state when I was an EMT and the fat fuckers ate up all of the healthcare system like it's going out of style. They completely avoid any accountability and get upset when they're told that their issues are because of their weight.
The reasons we can't have free healthcare is mainly fat people, then spics (especially fat spics) and then niggers (mostly fat nigger women)
The reasons we can't have free healthcare is mainly fat people, then spics (especially fat spics) and then niggers (mostly fat nigger women)
Mental health issues with the homeless, the addicts & the schizos as well. Those frequent flyers take up tons of frontline ER resources.
Particularly because most of these folks are poor protoplasm with no chance of recovery. But also no place to warehouse them with the shuttering of asylums.
I'm sure. The number of homeless has fucking exploded in the last few years because of the pedophile left. That was long after my time as an EMT. There weren't as many back then because they'd freeze to death.
Ya most of my job in hospital is wasting my time trying to get some super old person or super fat person to survive another day. Its demoralizing to realize how much our system takes from the young and healthy just to piss it away on these lost causes.
One hundred percent correct. I can't stand when some fat shit says something like 'why does my fat bother you?' Everything a fat person does takes something from people. If they're on public transit or a plane they are taking up space from people, they are always bumping into people because they are so fat they aren't aware of their own bodies, they beg like dogs over other people's food so they finally give them food from their own plate (or they take it), then of course there's how much they take from the health system.
I refuse to move really fat people. If there's some lift equipment or they can bear their own weight I'll do it but if I have a chance of injuring myself I refuse. Still haven't got fired so whatever.
Most everyone I worked with had some injury from lifting fat shits. It's one of the reasons I left, I wasn't going to sacrifice my body for someone that doesn't give a shit about theirs.
Ahh, Canadian health care in the province that gave us poutine. The only way to get to the front of the line is to go by ambulance to the hospital. Otherwise wait times are until you feel better, or die waiting.
It's a remarkable system that is definitely not overloaded and no one's doing fuck all about it.
But let's import more pajeets, just in case that helps.
Quebec is also notorious for underpaying their doctors even by socialist standards.
It has something to do with their tuition being cheaper. And a captive market where they assume unilingual Francophone docs don't have the option to migrate elsewhere.
What might bother me the most, irrationally, is how (((TPTB))) don't care the slightest about the quality of output from their newly imported slave caste so long as it's bottom dollar overhead.
Like, it doesn't bother them even a little that now their vegan soy lattes and gluten-free avocado toasts are going to be contaminated with potentially lethal levels of fecal bacteria?
There was never any intention to expand any infrastructure even without the mass migration push.
With all of the COVID inflationary moneyprinting & all the pearlclutching and violation of civil liberties to protect hospital overcrowding, not a single new ICU bed was added permanently anywhere in the country.
not a single new ICU bed was added permanently anywhere in the country
Québec actually decreased its ICU capacity during the scamdemic.
Turns-out closing beds to ''distanciate'' patients and useless, time-consuming performative rituals to wish an airborne cold away means less space and professional time on patients.
"Why did Canada invite infinity illegals before they expanded their infrastructure to cope?"
Because the whole point behind the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy a country from within is by overloading its social services into oblivion. All of this shit is by design, and meant to devour your society from the inside-out, like a nest of termites.
Because jeets and Africans hear OP's story and they think "wow, he was allowed to be in a hospital at all! What an upgrade. In India we would just die outside on the curb!"
I was puking, feeling really sick, and feeling my heart pound out of my chest finally convinced me to go get medical help.
I showed up at 9h30 AM on a sunday morning. I waited a grand total of 10 hours before being told the doctor (no "s") had left for the night and I'd have to wait until the next morning (at best). That's 22 hours of waiting minimum. I was hungry and, well, I work in the morning, so I left. Keep in mind we are now 8am and I would STILL be waiting there had I stayed. Also keep in mind I complained of chest pain and this is supposed to be an "urgent" case.
As someone with some medical background, I read your anecdote & am still unsure the exact reason why you went to the ER & what your expectations were.
Your initial "Chief Complaint" was vomiting. Emesis is a pretty vague initial presentation that isn't considered terribly urgent unless there is specific suspicion of a surgical cause associated with it (appendicitis, bowel obstruction, etc).
You also include that you felt "very sick" which is a descriptor of severity & not really diagnostically helpful either.
Thirdly, you mention that you were experiencing heart palpitations severe enough to warrant seeking medical help. The OP mentions being 50 pounds overweight, implying that you seem to be worried that this could be a primary cardiac problem rather than simply an elevated heart rate from being ill with a virus, febrile, being in pain, being anxious , being dehydrated , etc.
Again, from your outline, I'm not sure what your primary goal & expectations were?
Was it to stop the vomiting? Were you expecting IV fluids, antiemetic drugs and diagnostic tests?
Did you believe you simply had a very severe stomach flu bug and needed supportive measures as outlined above?
Were you simply frightened & concerned with the severity of your sudden symptoms and unsure what it could be
Were you concerned enough that the vomiting and feeling unwell with tachycardia had an emergency surgical cause (appendicitis, bowel obstruction, pancreatitis, gallstones, etc). Your description didn't include acute severe abdominal pain in a particular location & pattern as one wouod anticipate with a surgical cause, making it sound more like a gastric bug.
Your description mentions concern over heart palpitations & chest pain that should've bumped you up the urgency queue in your opinion. But chest pain wasn't the "Chief Complaint" in your description, more of an ancillary one. ER triage is very heuristic & human algo driven. How your case is handled is often categorized by the first symptom you provide them & handled accordingly. It sounds like yours was more vomiting/feeling sick/palpitations rather than "chest pain".
"Chest pain" also isn't a magic word to get seen faster. How chest pain is triaged depends a lot on demographic factors. Again, as above, if it's not the "Chief Complaint", it's inclusion gets downgraded. A lot of it also depends on demographics & gestalt. Walk into the ER instead of arriving by ambulance? Downgrade. Report chest pain but aren't standing there ashen with a closed fist against your pecs? Downgrade. A lot of it depends on age as well. Chest pain in young men & women really isn't treated as serious without much compelling evidence.
Did they do your vitals? They probably weren't that impressive besides perhaps an elevated HR to leave you sitting there for 12 hours. Did they at least do an EKG? A normal looking EKG in a low risk presentation at least gives some due diligence in triaging someone as low risk for hours upon hours. Did they draw any blood to send out for Troponin levels? Similarly, zero trops essentially rules out an actual cardiac cause.
The fact that the ER doc "left" at 10 pm on a Sunday or whatever suggests you weren't at a full service, urban hospital. Most likely a much smaller rural one. Or an urban "urgent care" center one that can only handle uncomplicated cases and doesn't admit patients overnight/have an OR, surgeon on-call/has no specialists/perhaps has no CT scanner which is the primary tool of ER medicine, particularly for possible surgical causes of abdo pain. Thus, you have to adjust your expectations accordingly. You may have to go to the big city if suspect you may actually need any of the above services if you are legit "specialist/surgeon: sick. The rural/urgent care day hospital is likely staffed by an underqualified, underressourced family doc type rather than an actual 5-year ER trainee with specialist support. There's definitely a postal code lottery in Canada where sometimes your likelihood to survive is based more on geography simply because not all docs/hospitals are the same.
Lol, sounding a bit like the locals in my local subreddit I lurk.
Just eat better and live healthier, no ones going to help you. Ahh so nice.
I was just living in ignorance thinking things like an appendectomy or work injuries couldnt be avoided by simply, living healthier.
Make sure the rich corporations get the note too, they for sure will stop pumping poison into our air, food, and water, right?!
God damn, nova scotias healthcare is busted too, and it has been for a long time, long before they opened the gates of immigration. Imagine getting poisoned at work, and yes I know everyone thinks its not possible, but it is not like one day I was like.
Oh man, i think im having heart issues I better quit the job.
I told my supervisor several times over several months that I have had palpitations since a teenager and that they were getting worse. Their answer? Go to the doctors. What the fuck do you do when the doctors tell you its your head and not possible, period.
Just get fucked and die I guess.
I got on the waitlist for a family doctor, the first doctor says, "nope sorry your case is to complicated, cant take you on.". Wait a few more years just for another doctor to take you and say. "Your morbidly obese, all your problems are because your fat." While handing me a blood test result with very, very low phosphorous rofl.
Its fucking funny because the hyperparathyroidism is likely to be related to my weight gain.
Hyperparathyroidism may be associated with weight changes, including weight gain, due to increased fat mass, which can lead to higher parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, and from chronic fatigue caused by the condition, which reduces physical activity. The elevated calcium levels and hormonal changes from high PTH can also impede the body's ability to break down fat (lipolysis), contributing to weight gain.
But they dont care. No one actually cares lmao. Maybe the hyperparthyroidism just "randomly" happened, but the chances of it happening right after the cardiac sensitizing.
Nah, I know what the fuck happened to me and there isnt a god damn thing anyone can say at this stage to change my mind. If I was wrong, WCB would not have fucked me and lied like they did.
work injuries couldnt be avoided by simply, living healthier.
That is the case actually. Part of the reason to seek better work is to either lower the risk of serious injury or to at least become wealthy enough that you can afford treatment.
I am a nurse in a hospital in the USA. What you are describing is coming to the USA and is already present in many urban ER and hospitals.
There is a collapse of workers, most are immigrants because our wages are slightly higher than overseas, we can poach people still. But quality is akin to prison healthcare if not worse, and the patients are sicker and older and dumber. Tbh, no hate but 99% of my patients are like you, you live in a state of sickness and obesity, ignoring the stuff which can resolve your health problems, which you know is taxing your health, because you're indifferent to it until it's a crisis. Every work day i waste my time trying to get the horse to drink water, and maybe 1 in 10 patients is doing the work within their own lives to improve their health.
And then you go to these overburdened public healthcare services, which go about as well as welfare state socialism can be expected, and expect to get treated. Wake up bro, wake up everyone, and deal with your own health because I guarantee that 99% of medical people are too busy, too underpaid, too foreign, too lazy, too stupid, too jaded, and any combination above to fix your problems.
That's before we get into the political vultures of progressives that infest healthcare who probably hate you because you're a white man. Congrats on realizing the truth, and good luck getting healthier, you will need to be. Prayers.
you live in a state of sickness and obesity, ignoring the stuff which can resolve your health problems, which you know is taxing your health, because you're indifferent to it until it's a crisis
That sounds like the socialized health services where their workers don't do their jobs properly until someone gets obviously sick where they can't cover it up any longer so they stick people onto long waiting lists.
This is about average for all the places like this with government healthcare.
Makes sense that reddit socialists support it when they're all too young to have ever had to go to the DMV.
I remember driving an hour to go to a different DMV because it was faster. We really did get home faster than if we had gone to the closer one.
As if Redditors could ever afford a personal vehicle, lol.
A solid portion of Redditors are old enough to predate Obama's Cash for Clunkers program that made personal vehicles impossibly expensive for most people.
That’s where they gave you a 10k check and they took your car and destroyed it right?
You'd be lucky to get 5k, and most of the time that was in vouchers for buying new "more eco friendly" cars instead of raw cash.
And yeah, by their own admission nearly 700000 cars were outright destroyed within the few year lifetime of the program.
It was supposed to be Obama's quid pro quo to US automakers. Ironic that the bestselling car was the Toyota Corolla.
I can't quite follow the logical chain from "cash for clunkers" to "making personal vehicles impossible expensive for most people".
Because you’re fucking dumb lol
Who got me the upgrade from 'retarded' to merely 'fucking dumb lol'?
You're still retarded
The program gave people incentive to sell their old vehicles to the government, as opposed to selling them into the used car market.
The government then turned around and destroyed all said old vehicles.
Said old vehicles are now no longer in the market, meaning supply has dried up, so prices go up to compensate.
The used car market in American has basically gone bug-fuck insane as a result. Last I checked, I could stand a good chance at selling my current car at or above what I paid for it. That's not normal.
Worse, everything post-2012 has all kinds of GPS and tracking software in it. Muh convenience!
Watching my friends drive their new vehicles make me desperate to keep mine running for as long as possible.
Not to say anything about the program, but I have to point out that used car prices have exploded since 2019 here as well. I was looking for one then, and if I had bought it, I probably could sell it for (about) the same price now.
Vehicle prices ever since then have been rapidly increasing, similarly to houses, at a rate that is almost impossible to sustain. And while people can rent homes forever, they can't with cars, so its going to explode badly quite soon.
The bots who never have to go in shilling for it helps create consensus too I'm sure.
Its not that, they are just stupid as fuck and can't connect cause and effect. They got programmed with Marxism good so all these Marxist ideas just haven't been done hard enough. People just arent trying hard enough to make them work. This time it'll work you see!

You don't need to go to the VA for Motrin and bottled water.
This is about the average for all places if you don't pay out of pocket. Really makes no difference if the country has government healthcare or not.

I think you are beginning to see why the Canadian government just conducted it's first ever organ transplant from a MAID patient.
Maybe this is just me, but if a patient actually is going through with it on their own volition instead of being pressured into suicide by the government, and has their donor card checked, I don't necessarily disagree, but I do absolutely hate the idea of the government pressuring people into suicide for the sake of getting their organs for transplants
Yeah, I don't even necessarily condemn the concept of assisted suicide in some cases, but it's clear to me now that the government must be criminalized from participating in it.
I have been waiting for an exam with a ''must be done within 4 to 6 weeks'' timeline for over 8 months now. The doctor dosen't know what's taking them so long and apparetly the request is there in the hospital's system.

It's especially astonishing as that's supposedly the opposite lesson learned from the Masada.

"Do not get sick in Québec, people. You'll be treated like trash"
I'll take it up a notch and advise to simply never visit Canada. Ever.

I got on the waitlist for a family doctor, the first doctor says, "nope sorry your case is to complicated, cant take you on.". Wait a few more years just for another doctor to take you and say. "Your morbidly obese, all your problems are because your fat." While handing me a blood test result with very, very low phosphorous rofl.
Its fucking funny because the hyperparathyroidism is likely to be related to my weight gain.
But they dont care. No one actually cares lmao. Maybe the hyperparthyroidism just "randomly" happened, but the chances of it happening right after the cardiac sensitizing.
Nah, I know what the fuck happened to me and there isnt a god damn thing anyone can say at this stage to change my mind. If I was wrong, WCB would not have fucked me and lied like they did.
If you have a desk job, getting up at least once an hour is a must.
That is the case actually. Part of the reason to seek better work is to either lower the risk of serious injury or to at least become wealthy enough that you can afford treatment.
These are amateur numbers. You should try Europe.
This is a great post & very motivational. But sorry you had to endure all that.
I am a nurse in a hospital in the USA. What you are describing is coming to the USA and is already present in many urban ER and hospitals.
There is a collapse of workers, most are immigrants because our wages are slightly higher than overseas, we can poach people still. But quality is akin to prison healthcare if not worse, and the patients are sicker and older and dumber. Tbh, no hate but 99% of my patients are like you, you live in a state of sickness and obesity, ignoring the stuff which can resolve your health problems, which you know is taxing your health, because you're indifferent to it until it's a crisis. Every work day i waste my time trying to get the horse to drink water, and maybe 1 in 10 patients is doing the work within their own lives to improve their health.
And then you go to these overburdened public healthcare services, which go about as well as welfare state socialism can be expected, and expect to get treated. Wake up bro, wake up everyone, and deal with your own health because I guarantee that 99% of medical people are too busy, too underpaid, too foreign, too lazy, too stupid, too jaded, and any combination above to fix your problems.
That's before we get into the political vultures of progressives that infest healthcare who probably hate you because you're a white man. Congrats on realizing the truth, and good luck getting healthier, you will need to be. Prayers.
That sounds like the socialized health services where their workers don't do their jobs properly until someone gets obviously sick where they can't cover it up any longer so they stick people onto long waiting lists.
