That has a cost. I'm Canadian and if I wanted to get a scan, it could takes months. If it's actually an emergency, it will be much faster, if I paid for it at a private clinic, it would be much faster too. Non urgent immediate care has a price.
> The surgery he was prescribed was to stabilize his injury to ensure it healed properly, delaying that treatment could potentially lead to improper healing.
They aren't there to give him "proper healing", they are there to support emergency situation.
If you go to your hospital and it takes 6 months, it's because they believe that 6 months is still "proper healing". If it takes him longer in UK, it means that it's still "proper healing".
His first hospital stay was an emergency, he didn't want to make the claims, but that was what was claimable.
If his doctor in Singapore though that he couldn't take the plane, then that's what he should have gotten as proof.

I would classify this as urgent. > They aren't there to give him "proper healing", they are there to support emergency situation. Again, I'm not sure how it is in Canada but in the United States once you've undergone Emergency Surgery and you are stabilized; they move you into the non-emergency care ward and any followup procedures or treatment are on a needs basis. My assumption was that after his emergency surgery he was transitioned to a non-emergency care team that was responsible for for the follow up surgery. If he were undergoing emergency surgery to install the plate, I'm not sure they'd make him wait.
- moltar 8y agoYou are talking like waiting for months is the norm. That’s not the norm. That’s just what our shitty Canadian health care makes ya think.
