Ontario Woman's Surgery Lowkey Flops After Half a Decade Wait 😩
An Ontario woman waited 5 years to get surgery. When she finally got the procedure, she says it failed. Yo, this Ontario woman waited FIVE YEARS for surgery for Eagle's syndrome, and it went totally sideways. Now she's back on the waitlist, maybe thinking of going to the US, but $$$ is a major L. On
TL:DR
Yo, this Ontario woman waited FIVE YEARS for surgery for Eagle's syndrome, and it went totally sideways. Now she's back on the waitlist, maybe thinking of going to the US, but $$$ is a major L. Ontario's Ministry of Health says they got "some of the shortest wait times" in Canada tho... 🤔
The Deets
OK, so listen up, fam. This woman in Ontario was dealing with Eagle's syndrome (it's rare, and it lowkey messes you up – think can't sit up straight, breathing probs, the works). She's been trying to get surgery for like, half a decade. That's wild, right?
Finally, she gets the surgery. But get this – it FAILS. Like, major fail. Now she's got complications, hemorrhaging and is back at square one. She's even thinking about yeeting herself to the US for surgery, but the price tag is making her think twice. Big yikes.
Apparently, over 200,000 people in Ontario are on surgery waitlists, and nationwide it's like 1.5 million. That's sus. Mount Sinai Hospital acknowledged wait times are stressful, but didn't give any specific tea on her case.
A retired clinical physician said that these delays happen because it takes too long to see a fam doc, get a referral, see the surgeon... the list goes on. They say it's also cause of the pandemic making wait times worse, but that the Canadian government gave millions to tackle the backlog, but something is clearly still a problem here.
But here's the kicker: the Ontario Ministry of Health is saying that Ontario has "some of the shortest wait times" in Canada. So, is this lady just unlucky, or is the system totally cooked? 🤨
