My son broke his femur at school. He was transported to hospital where he underwent surgery to insert rods. He stayed for four nights in a state of the art, brand new children’s hospital, brimming with wireless tech. The nursing care was top notch.
I had to pay for parking.
Once he was back at school, the school district brought out occupational therapists who assessed his new disability and provided extra assistance while he was wheeling around.
He has had four follow-up visits with the orthopedic specialist. In a month or two he will have another surgery to have the rods removed.
I will then have to pay for parking again.
Welcome to Canada.
- Bootwizard 7y agoIs the parking $20,000?
- dredmorbius 7y agoCanadian. So, about $2.50 US ;-)
- dwild 7y agoThe parking is actually quite expensive, when my stepmom had cancer, I went a few time with a car and it was 16$ per day. That hospital made 60 millions in parking fees in 2015 as a reference... That was the time I understood how lucky we are, when the final diagnostic fell, it was the first thing that came to my mind, what would have they done if it wasn't free... they would have to decide whether they try to give her a few more years and pay hundred thousands, or just watch her suffer a few more months. Sadly even with the amazing care she got, she died less than a year later, but at least they got that time and they never had to worry about the cost of it.
