Ok, so last night I got sick, and i am talking very sick. I got super dizy, the room was spinning around, i had spots in my vision, my heart was racing, i couldnt stand or walk because my balance was so bad, and i don't remember most of what happened. My girlfriend drove me to emergency. The doctor gave me (after waiting for several hours in a terrible state) came in and gave me several needles, a sedative, pain killer, gravol ect. (I got a big bruise on my butt now)

The problem with this is... the doctor gave me the first dose of my anti biotic; which is what they do at the hospital, then they give you a prescription and send you on your way. I went to 5 pharmacy's today and not a single one had my prescription. Apparently you cant get very many medications right now as there is a manufacturing shortage or some gak. So the doctor gives you your first pills, sends you away, then you cant get any more.

Is that not how virus's become resistant to drugs?
Why do we not have any medication?
Why do i both paying $80 a month for health care?
WTF am i suppose to do? Seriously, my balance is so bad i cant function in a normal manner.

I guess you could always get Obama to help you.

lol...

@OP What is the type of medication you're on? Maybe you can get it shipped to you from the States?

Have you considered forgetting how to speak English, come to America dressed with a sombrero, and get some free healthcare as you conveniently forgot all your identification somewhere south of the border?

Except that's only emergency care, not follow up prescriptions. But go on ranting about Illegals, I'm sure that'll make your life better.

Well, he would also have to pack a briefcase of greasy, thick moustaches and heighten the level of illness severity convincingly for half a dozen hospitals to be fooled. Make it a seven day six night visit at six amazing American hospitals.

What? How dare you accuse me of being illegal insensitive. In fact, I mention nothing about illegals at all within my post. I merely ask he forgets to speak English, wear a sombrero, and forget his ID somewhere south of Kanada.

Yeah. I'm the prejudiced one here.

Literally laughing at this. Out loud. Holy gak is that hysterical.

Seriously though. Memorize a Taco Bell menu and recite it to the triage nurse. I'm sure they'll rush you right in.

Predator juce? You mean an affinity for the internal liquids of Predators?

Really? Our healthcare is lacking? When did this become news?

Have you considered placing your troubles into the healing hands of Jesus?

I thought it was Canadian pharmaceutical companies that provided cheap generic drugs for Americans and not the other way around.

And to the extent where you live, how far is it for you to get to the next hospital or town with multiple pharmacies?

That one made me laugh..

@BrockRitcey

Oh.. i didnt notice it said van, i went to the abbotsford new hospital they just opened a few months ago. Apparently its like a big problem of manufacturing shortage because of uhm... i am not exactly sure. Though many pharmacists told me it was difficult to get prescriptions because there are some issues in the industry.

Just rub some dirt in it.

Man up, son!

I never knew dirt was how you cure ear infections, i guess i could give it a shot!
