I never said this stuff was normal. I said it’s the crap I deal with. If you get an asshole doctor, you’re stuck with it. The point of my stories was to try to get others to understand certain things. I mentioned a story and got told I was wrong because Doctors in the states have to be nice for the reason he stated. He admitted to knowing zero at how Canadian health care works. I have filled complaint after complaint on any and all doctors who treat me poorly. I started to record them as proof so things would stop being a “he said/She said”. I wasn’t try to say this is normal or anything like that. I did mention the challenges of attempting to sue or going to the press, because what I said there was true.
I just wanted to see if other people who’ve dealt with cancer had any personal tips to get back to an acceptable % so I could go back to work. There was some great advice from people on that subject which I will be putting to use.
And you’re probably right, I should move, provinces at the bare minimum, Countries at the Max. Sadly it’s just not that easy. First, my wife’s family live here. They’ve been great support.
Second, moving costs money. I haven’t worked in over a year and I never qualified for sick leave, Employment insurance, or disability. My wife, she hasn’t worked in two and a half years. Her disability barely covers mortgage and other payments.
Third. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. No insurance company would ever touch my wife and I. So how would one go about affording medical care in the states?
Fourth. I have never stated that I will not see the proper therapist for my issues. That is still a current plan.
5th. Why would I lie?? Lying here gets me nothing. If I’m looking for advice, lying would make getting said advice harder. Lying to medical staff gets me nowhere, so again, why would I lie? It’s 1000000% useless or otherwise.
And Finally, I do not speak to any medical staff with attitude. I have never and will never. I try to be as nice and understanding as possible. What I say in these threads is my anger, annoyance, and frustrations about what I deal with in hospital. Getting angry at medical stuff would only ever put me backwards in my health.
Anyways. This thread is done. I was wishing to see if others had any other advice but at this point, it’s just turned into me acting like my dumb self, and just getting my whole thread derailed into people thinking I’m some sort of jackass.
So I will end it with this. Thank you to those who helped me out and I apologize to the others. Have a nice night
