In Naples Florida
My wife having real pain, was told by a doctor to go to the emergency in the Hospital and made the arrangements by telephone. She was there for
10 hours and passed several tests, in at PM and out a AM without any results and help.
Cost was $ 13,500
Family Doc determined that she had a broken rip, which was not seen in hospital.
Even if our Canadian system is by way not perfect, I still prefer to have it as well as everybody else.
