Our health care system – speedy and effective says reader

Letter to the editor

This month I had some contact with our health care system.

When I phoned to arrange a chest Xray, I was given an appointment the next day.  The Xray took 15 minutes.  Then I had a blood test that took all of 20 minutes.  For the above two visits I walked to the hospital.

Later in the month I had a bone scan in Owen Sound.  Later that day, I had a doctor’s appointment to discuss the results of my tests.  By that time, he had already received the results of my morning bone scan.

Given that I only have minor issues, it was recommended that I only take supplements.  Other doctors, other than Dr. Khan, could have suggested that I take drugs.

Where else in the world would I receive such speedy effective service!
