Dear Editor:
I for one am very concerned about our health care system.
To see that Canada is at the bottom of the list for surgeries of any kind is very upsetting.
I have worked in the health care field for over 50 years and I have never seen this problem so bad. And yes, it is getting worse.
I would have never thought I would have to wait two to five years, even for a knee surgery. I have personally ben waiting over two years for a knee replacement.
Who is to blame, or who can we blame? Doctors? Hospitals? Government? Lack of communication?
I personally know how hard doctors and nurses work as I have worked alongside them most of my life.
We as Canadians need to stand up for ourselves.
Myself personally, I am so tired of living in pain.
