Also, I have been through quite a bit with the health care system, and have had an overall good experience.

A perfect, recent example: I went to see a wound specialist in Toronto on the 8th, and she ordered some tests for me. I ended up getting an appointment for an x-ray, CAT scan, and a bone scan (to rule out osteomyelitis) the next week (last Friday). After those tests, the x-ray tech wanted me to come back again on Monday (yesterday) to have a gallium scan (more detail bone scan), and a ultrasound on my kidneys and bladder.

Not a bad system in my books. Although I wasn't too enthusiastic about having nuclear medicine in me for four days.
