Once cut a major artery in my finger. I was forced to wait in the lobby, no triage, for 4 hours. They only let me get looked at when I stopped holding my finger tightly and ended up bleeding everywhere only then did they give a shit. Suffered permanent nerve damage for it.
Broke my leg, horribly, my foot was literally sitting on backwards. Tibia was shattered. They took 18 hours to look at it, because I was, "not a concerning situation."
Intracranial vasculitis, a disease that killed my mother, cannot be treated in Canada. The treatment costs 20,000 CAD. It exists, it is a cure. It cannot be provided without a 100 percent confirmation of the infection, which requires a live brain tissue sample via biopsy. Which can kill the patient. So no doctor will do the biopsy, they refuse. So the patient dies.
That is Canadian health care.
Under the British NHS guidelines, if you need dialysis for your kidneys, they cut you off when you turn 45 years old. Then they just cut you off. That's it. No more of the one thing that you absolutely need to stay alive.
So what are you supposed to do? Just go home and die quietly without being too much of a bother, prole.
But that's okay. Because it's "free", right?
Suffered permanent nerve damage for it.
You don't suffer nerve damage from blood loss in your finger. If you suffered nerve damage, it was from the trauma that caused the injury to begin with or it was from you cutting the circulation off to the finger for too long of a time.
Also, did your mother have lupus and did she have Secondary CNS Vasculitis?
cutting the circulation off to the finger for too long of a time.
Correct. Four hours is fucking outrageous amount of time for a finger to be blue from lack of blood.
To be truthful, it has been a decade, I do not recall much of the details given by the doctors which fucked it all up. Just those bits of information.
