Hey there blogworlders! Well, it's Saturday night, not a whole lot going on or changed with me lately. I am still in pain rarely and only when I overdo it or so it seems.
There has been a lot of chatter online regarding the new OHIP regulations. There was a Dr. in Toronto that recently lost his licence to practice,(see article here http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20081212.DOCTOR12/TPStory/TPNational/Ontario/
thanks to JUDY for the link) he had a 8-10yr wait for WLS and now his patients are left hanging in the wind. They will now be redistributed to the new clinics opening to handle the constantly logjammed patients. The question now is, will this just simply increase the wait at the new clinics that are opening or will they be able to handle the large number of patients in a timely fashion?
You can still be approved for surgery in the US, however your Dr. must stipulate that it is an emergency that you get the surgery and answer yes to both questions on page two of the OHIP application.(Thanks to DiminishingDawn for this information)
Lots going on in my personal life right now, with all the uncertainty in the auto industry(which I am attached to) I have had a lot to do the past few days, sorry for not posting in a while.
night all.
