Toronto Pediatric Clinic Can I Please End The Debate Now On How Long People Wait For Health Care In Canada?

Can I please end the debate now on how long people wait for health care in Canada? - toronto pediatric clinic

It's fun. Try this site.

http://www.health.gov.on.ca/transformati ...

Click on "wait times in your area.

This is the website of the Government of Ontario, which indicates how long you expect to wait for various procedures, you can. This is a page turning. The real numbers.

As of now - the waiting times are as follows (insert "Toronto" because of its location - 70% of people live in Ontario within a radius of 100 miles from Toronto).

"Target" is what they can be accepted. The provincial wait time "is what is actually achieved - sometimes better or worse than the destination.

All times are in days.

Destination current procedure

Breast cancer surgery 84 34
Prostate cancer 84 85
CABG 184 48 (!!!!)
Hip 182 162
Knee Replacement 182 191
RM 28 107
TC28 46
General surgery 182 99

More than 6 months for a knee replacement. 107 days for an MRI. 48 days for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass !?!?!?!

These are real people. I lived there. These numbers are real. Proceed to find themselves.

For the true horror, wait times for pediatric. 260 days for oral surgery.

No one will deny me, or I say I am a representative of the insurance?
