Ontario Woman's Surgery Fail Got Her Feeling Some Type of Way 😭

The Tea is PIPING Hot ☕

So, this woman, Karen Harris, has Eagle's syndrome. It's this rare condition where a bone in your skull is too long. Imagine waiting half a decade, like five whole years, for surgery to fix it. Then, BAM! It fails. Like, what?! She's back to square one. Now she's back on the waitlist, and no one can tell her when she's gonna be seen again. That's gotta sting, no cap.

She's dealing with all this Eagle's syndrome stuff – can't sit up for long, needs a neck brace, sometimes even a wheelchair. Sis is STRUGGLING! She thought about going to the U.S. for the surgery, but it's gonna cost like US$30,000 to $100,000. That's, like, a whole house down payment. She would have to get a second mortgage for that! Healthcare is expensive af, bruh!

Apparently, over 200,000 people in Ontario are waiting for surgery. Across Canada, it's about 1.5 million. That's a whole lot of people on pause. Mount Sinai Hospital said delays are stressful, but like, “many factors” influence the waitlist. Okay, bet... but it's still a major L.

These delays happen at every step – from your family doctor figuring things out to the time surgeons are busy operating. The Ontario government is saying they have "some of the shortest wait times" in Canada. But fam, it's still long. Can we fix this already?!
