She says right after that it was for a prescription. In this case, the doctor prescribed her some medication, but didn't administer it at the hospital. In Canada, medication dispensed through pharmacies isn't covered by our provincial health insurance plans. This gap is usually filled with private insurance, which presumably she didn't have, so she had to pay for it out of pocket. Thankfully, there's talk of implementing a public pharmacare program that will fix this situation and I hope the new government follows through on this promise.
