Two surgeries and 12 hours in the operating room later the danger was gone (It was estimated that in 10 years I could have easily died from brain abcess). It then took two years of follow ups and another surgery to truly clear the infection. I never wourld have gotten such treatment in Canada.
In fact I remember seeing a story about a girl who kept having blackouts that prevented her from even leaving her house and yet she had to wait something like 4 months just to get an MRI. Never mind brain surgery, but a freaking MRI.
You want an idea of health care in Canada then look no further then how canadians themselves have portrayed it in the past.

Canadian Health Care In Crisis - CBS News. I heard Peter Jennings tell how his mother who is Canadien had to wait for 3 weeks to get an MRI after hurting her back , she had herniated / ruptured disks in her back . Bet that was a freakin long three weeks !
