It's nothing, bladder cancer is a disease that can easily recur, as long as it is treated again.

But here's the problem, until mid-July, Omar was still told by the hospital that he needed to wait for the surgery schedule, and the time was uncertain.

This is more painful, cancer recurrence is a very terrible thing, the physical and psychological impact on people is very powerful, Omar naturally likes to rush to the doctor to deal with this matter, but the hospital has been delayed again and again, it is too much!

In fact, this cannot simply blame the hospital for inaction, the Canadian medical system determines this situation.

It is undeniable that compared to other countries in the world, the fairness and transparency of Canada's health care system is top-notch, but he has a very strict problem, that is, slow treatment, which is the situation in various hospitals.

How slow is it? According to an authoritative survey report, the waiting time between getting a referral from a family doctor and receiving in-depth treatment in a large hospital is about 19 weeks on average!

Among them, the national average waiting time for CT, B-ultrasound and other examinations is about 5 weeks, and some items such as MRI, if not acute and severe, need to wait for nearly 1 year......

Of course, if you have a black gold centurion card, then these times can be greatly shortened, before Winnie did a B ultrasound, the hospital took less than ten minutes to arrange a visit and get a film.

However, there are 30 million people in the country, how many black and gold centurion cards are there?!

Qin Shiou is more familiar with this matter, when he returned to China for the first time, he met an immigrant compatriot who returned to China for medical treatment. And at that time, he also changed his first class cabin to that family, thus winning Winnie's favor.

At the time, the immigrant's family was a victim of the Canadian healthcare system. From a certain point of view, Qin Shiou is naturally the beneficiary, otherwise how could he and Winnie cross paths again?

But Qin Shiou doesn't understand what the rigidity of the Canadian medical system will be, which will cause such a situation?

Hughes sighed when he heard his question and began to explain to him.

The reason for this is also the cause of the Canadians themselves, because in Canada. Social equity is the foundation of traditional values, and medical equity is related to birth, old age, sickness and death, and it is the top priority of social equity.

In order to uphold the principle of fairness. Canada explicitly prohibits private insurance from purchasing health care services covered by provincial government insurance, and medical institutions are all public in nature, and there are no private hospitals or "aristocratic hospitals".

In Canada, hospitals are mostly not-for-profit. They are financed by local governments on the basis of their budgets. A significant number of them are provided by private charities.

The services of the hospital are all covered by social insurance, and the services of the hospital cannot be charged. Doctors' remuneration is based on the content of their services, which is determined by a negotiated agreement between the government and the doctors' associations, and doctors cannot charge for services designated by social insurance.

For Canadians, regardless of income, they have access to the same level of primary health care.

Even patients who have purchased commercial insurance have the ability to choose a higher standard in terms of ward level, private care, self-financed drugs, etc., but there is no special preferential treatment during the waiting period during examination and treatment. There will be no queue in the hospital.

Hearing this, Qin Shiou smiled and said, "No, it's fake. A week ago, I took Winnie to the hospital for treatment, and I was supposed to be in line, but I took out my black gold centurion card, and I successfully cut the line. ”

Although this is not something to show off, it is a fact, and Qin Shiou can overturn Hughes's introduction.

Hughes blinked and said in disbelief: "Impossible, the Black Gold Centurion Card only works for private hospitals and private companies, and Maria Hospital is a public hospital, and it does not accept the privilege of the Black Gold Centurion Card at all." ”

Qin Shiou spread his hands and smiled: "But this is the truth, at that time, it was an expert named Odom who treated Winnie...... Oh,, I see what's going on! ”

Speaking of Odom, Qin Shiou understood what was going on, maybe the last time he enjoyed the preferential treatment of the hospital, it was really not the credit of the black gold centurion, but the credit of a piece of information recorded on the black gold centurion.

Last year, he went to Boston to participate in the charity donation event held by Harvard Medical School and major hospitals in North America, and he donated a million dollars at that time, and it seemed that someone would tell him that he would enjoy VIP services in all public hospitals in North America in the future, but it was useless, and he forgot about it.

Qin Shiou said about his donation, and Hughes suddenly realized: "Then it must be like this, but, alas, man, how many people are as rich as you?" We can't even come up with a $10,000 donation! ”

The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the agreed meeting place for the demonstrators, the town wharf.

More than 200 people took part in the demonstration, led by Omar, a middle-aged man with a sad face.

Seeing the spirited Omar, Qin Shiou couldn't bear it, his impression of this man was a bright smile on his face forever, and now the smile was gone, only his face was full of sorrow, and the whole person had no spirit, like a withered tree.

Qin Shiou went up and hugged Omar, patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, brother, there is no hurdle in the world that you can't overcome, I will help you, you will be able to enter the hospital soon." ”

His plan was to use his VIP privileges to cut in line and take Omar to the hospital.

Once assembled, the group took the ferry to the pier, this time with great momentum, because they were going to attack the O'Kelfer group, Hamre specially prepared a uniform T-shirt.

As soon as the fishermen on the wharf saw so many people disembarking violently, they hurriedly got out of the way, for fear of encountering an unwarranted disaster.

Qin Shiou finally understood why so many people wanted to play parades and demonstrations, a large group of people gathered together, and the feeling of a fox and a fake tiger was very refreshing.

In addition to Farewell Town, the demonstrators came from all over St. John's, as too many families were trapped by the current health care system.

These people have also received uniform T-shirts from the Hamre Group, some are already waiting at the door of the St. John's government, and some are still coming.

Qin Shiou roughly estimated, good guy, this time the Hamley Group has also made a bloody investment, and more than 1,000 people have been mobilized!

In addition to the demonstrators, the Hamre Group also invited a number of TV stations, and the issue of health care reform and racial discrimination has always been a hot topic in Canada, and there are many people who like to watch it.

Qin Shiou thought that he was here to join in the fun, but he said goodbye to the town and directly asked him to be the leading brother and asked him to speak on behalf of the team, Hughes also looked at him encouragingly and said: "Qin, you are the leading brother this time!" ”

Qin Shiou was stunned now, why did he still speak? Didn't you say that everyone should work together? What about trust? What about friendship? Will we be able to have fun together in the future? (To be continued......)
