It's Friday and, although this is not specifically about prostate health, I'm passing along this story because, well, because it's my blog!
Two weeks ago, a vendor who works with Lucia was on the phone mentioning she was not feeling well...but was feeling frustrated.
The vendor lives in Canada and she has what she believes to be an ear infection that is causing an ear ache and making her dizzy. In fact, she has been so unsteady she is missing some work and enduring bouts of nausea.
The Canadian health care system, the same system so many point to as the model toward which we should strive, has responded by offering her an appointment with a physician...in June. Our suggestion: get on the phone and make an appointment across the border with a US physician.
I am very grateful I was able to receive treatment when I needed it. I'm concerned about what may happen to our accessible health care when some bureaucrat is deciding who needs care and who can wait.
I prefer to be in charge of my own health care.
Take charge of your life and have a great weekend with family and friends.
