Estonian dude Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I got an MRI in 3 weeks and specialist in a month and I need an ACL reconstruction.Read that it costs $50k in the USA.Guess what it costs me? So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

Randox Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 On the one hand, the waiting times in countries like Canada are crippling. On the other hand, at least you will eventually get care, and you still have the option to go the private route if you have the money or feel like remortgaging your house, so nothing lost in that regard I suppose. I know they do make efforts to see critical cases in a more timely manner. Fortunately, I've only had to deal with more immediate care issues so far in my life. Also, I think the trick is to see all the specialists you'll ever need to see while still in the children's system (children's hospitals are much faster about scans and specialists; you can't put that stuff off with people who are still growing), and then you'll never need referrals because you file will be handed off when you become an adult ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 An idea pitched was to add more Nurse Practitioners to the ER room since they're cheaper to hire than doctors and most injuries only require a Nurse Practitioner to look at them anyway. Should cut wait times by quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estonian dude Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It cost me 5€. I do have my freedom intact, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.We too have the option to go the private way, but instead of $50k it would have cost €1800. Your prices are WAY overinflated. And we have pretty much the same world-class equipment and doctors as you have in the US. 1 So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

Randox Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 An idea pitched was to add more Nurse Practitioners to the ER room since they're cheaper to hire than doctors and most injuries only require a Nurse Practitioner to look at them anyway. Should cut wait times by quite a bit.NP's are fantastic. My local GI department uses a bunch of them. They have I think 3 GI doctors, and each of them has 2 NP's. When you have an appointment, or an issue, you deal with your NP instead of the doctor, and then the NP consults with the doctor (and the Doctor will see you in person as needed). It allows the hospital to do way more with fewer doctors, because the NP's can deal with most issues themselves (prescriptions, and some of the treatment options, ordering tests, all that good stuff). The only problem is that Nurse Practitioners are super rare here. We have way more doctors than NP's, so there aren't close to enough of them for all departments to do this. One thing we did cotton onto at least as far as the ER goes is staffing the triage department with Paramedics instead of Nurses. They're better at assessing people with unknown issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceus Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I was going for a run this morning and somehow ended up with what I can only describe as a metal splinter in the middle of my foot near the end. It was rather painful so I took off my shoe, then sock...and there it was. Luckily I just pulled it out cleanly, put it back on, and kept running, but it does seem rather weird that it would go all the way through my (somewhat thick, mind you) shoe...

Octarine Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I don't really post here much, but just thought I'd check in after a while. Had a really lovely Halloween this year, board game night with a few friends I've known for about a month now. It turns out people that want to be maths teachers are all awesome :D On that topic, its been the most amazing experience so far. I always had it in the back of my mind that I enjoyed the idea of teaching, but I'm so incredibly glad I jumped into it and started training. It's only been a month and its been pretty mad but such fun too! At the same time, I moved out of my parents house too! I thought it'd just feel a lot like university, but sharing with just one friend is really nice, compared to around 4 or 5! Anyway hi TIF 1 Blog of DG, Bossing (mostly Glacors) and stuff - Runetrack Play Safe! - Got useful information for the tip.it website? Post here!

Major Dash Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I spent my Halloween watching Bob Ross paint on Twitch.... 1 “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Dash Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 You should've watched twitch installs arch linux I actually saw a little bit of that, but Bob Ross and the associated chat was much more entertaining. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t.

Major Dash Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Or when he makes those sounds as he moves the knife across the canvas, the chat goes all onomatopoeia. 1 “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t.

Estonian dude Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Made a complete and utter fool of myself on national TV.Like, the mess-up of the decade.Luckily, it won't be shown until January. But still. In other news, will be going on a regular doctor's appointment for the first time in years. Wonder what face she'll do when she hears that I've been to the ER 4 times since my last appointment :DAlso, last time I was there I was diagnosed with anemia. Wonder what will be found this time.

I'm thinking of becoming a Nurse Practitioner myself even though I'm technically in Pre-Med. So it'll be a strange transition for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinMaddy Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Good halloween but I wish I had been awake for more of it.I got drunk fairly quickly, I don't remember going to the club but I remember being there.About five people were around me giving me water. I passed out in the club but got up an hour later and got taken home by my flatmate.Slept in bed for idk how long, then I (still drunk) enjoyed the rest of the night with people even more drunk than I was. I really don't think I will be drinking to that level anymore, I'd like to remember all of my night in the future.
