there's no question that certain administrative aspects of canada's health system are real, real bad ideas.
i indirectly know a guy that died, in mackenzie bc, if a preventable form of cancer who was on a huge waiting list for MRI.
he was told by friends to just drive down to washington where there are MRI trucks that charge $150. he declined. those six months cost him his life.
these machines cost eight figures and they aren't mill equipment - there's no gears or drives. their maintenance schedule is quite low-cost compared to machines i've worked on that cost that much.
why aren't MRI machines running more hours a day?
i have no idea.
