I've lost faith in our health care system.
When I injured my knee almost 3 years ago they refused to do an MRI for 6 months. I finally shelled out the dollars myself which revealed they had misdiagnosed it and indeed my knee was totally torn up. I've spent about 15K on my knee over the last 2 years and it still isn't right.

Now my dad needs a triple by pass - he was told at the beginning of the year it was a serious situation and he would have it done in 1-2 months. Then months later they said "June for sure". The last week they booked him for Friday and he got bumped again. His life is at risk here and no one seems to care.

So yeah - we have problems up here for sure.
