No he's grinding a political axe. One of theses days we shoudl start listing all the horror shows going on in the American system. Hpoqwever since I don;t live there I have no personal experience woith it. I have plenty of persoanl experince woiththe one here since my parents have been haivng lots of problems over the last 10 years (with their health, not the system). i could tell him the whole story about my granddaughter but he would disregard it, going out to look under rocks for the bad stories. Maybe he would take time to read the series on St Pauls in Vancouver, an aging hospital that is being renovated, but there are a wholeseries of positive stories on this place. See http://www.theprovince.com/news/heartbeat/index.html But he is not intersted in balance, he only wants to cherry pick the negative stuffby using a website that focus on that. |

Why aren't emergency or unplanned surgical procedure wait times never measured? |

In my experience and that of those close to me here in B.C., emergency surgery and urgent procedures go to the next available theatre, bumping less urgent patients to a later availability. |

Yes but there are no records so in actual fact no one knows. |

There must be some kind of record. I Googled "emergency surgery wait times U.S." and came up with a survey that may support your suggestion to some degree but it still places the U.S. health care system last overall.

Here's an interesting post by Ryan T. Cragun, a U.S. Sociologist. While it's in a blog it cites peer reviewed papers. healthcare wait times – US vs. Canada

If you want any credibility here, you best forget about peer reviewed medical papers and stick with quoting the Canada Free Pres! |
