Thats it, just the list??
Don't they have emergency Dr's that can do it immediately?

[Big D]

Thanks macka. Seems like my tolerance for pain is very low anand I have a high tolerance for the meds like nothing is working

^^Don't be ridiculous. This is canada after all.



Sorry to here that Big DaddyO. That must have hurt.

I had to wait a full 24hr. They're keeping me here other nigt. I've been here for already 3 days

[faller]

Geezus i cringed when i read that D. Damn man, really sorry to hear this.

[Forever]

And here I thought people were just over reacting when they complained about Canadian wait times, I figured for emergency surgery they would just get it done.

I had to wait 8 months for ear surgery, but it was for a long time lingering problem so no big deal... but 4 days with a torn quad??
:flagC

First of all he's in Northern Ontario.

Secondly you can't always do surgery right away - need to wait until inflamation and swelling reduces

Thirdly this surgery would probably cost him $30K+ if he was in the US and not insured. I'll take a couple days wait.

man some of you are ignorant

[natenator]

Big D: sorry to hear about this dude. I really hope you recover fully. Best wishes to your surgery!!!

man some of you are ignorant

So are you saying they have to wait 4 days for inflammation and swelling to reduce for a torn quad or all the Dr's in northern Ontario are drunk?

I'm saying you are clueless and ignorant and your above comments support my feelings.

Guilty. I am definitely ignorant to the intimate inner workings of hospitals and medical procedures. From your comment's I thought maybe you were well informed on the topic and educate us all a little bit.... or are you just as ignorant as I am but taking the other side just for the sake of argument?

[Big D]

Thanks for the wishes guys :).

I didn't explan myslefwell enough I had the surgery yesterday. But I had to wait a full 24hours to get it.

I'm recovering right now. It seems like I might get discharged tomorrow. It seems like there's not much organization here

[Forever]

I hope your road to recovery is a speedy one! Did they give you any idea how long it would take for a full recovery, or at least how long before you will be vertical again?

[countrychic]

Ouchy Big D. Glad your surgery went well and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[L3]

wow thats ****ed man, sorry to hear...hope you have a speedy recovery

[tiramisu]

If you are in the u.s. and you have insurance then health care can be pretty amazing.
A 24 hour wait to reattach the tendon isn't bad at all.

[Praetorian]

Thats actually very quick as it is considered an emergency surgery. Anyone who has had tendon surgery would know that it must be done fairly quickly as the tendon will scar over with time and lose elasticity thus making re-attachment impossible. A few days is no problem...a few weeks can become an issue. With quadricep tendons however they would perform surgery as soon as possible not just because of mobility but other complications.

[Spyder122]
