  • saturn_656: Hey kid,

    Yeah we know you needed immediate surgery to fix your back, but for reasons that are ridiculous I'm sure we instead dinked around for 27 months until you were forced to seek treatment elsewhere.

    Now you can't walk. Oops, our bad.

  • jeff744: “A wait list is in constant flux. There’s some children who as they get worse will be reprioritized to be operated on earlier, and there are some children who may not need the surgery, so they would be off the wait list,” How often is that person moved to the top of the list there because he was at the bottom too long?

    About 1/1000th the number who'd needlessly suffer or die in a private system.

    I'd ask you to back that up but we all know where that'll end up....you offering your opinion as fact. :lol:
