Canadian health care = Bullshit!!! (Huge ------- rant because I'm pissed)
Well, here is a little story about how fucked up us poor people have it.
Over the past month and a half I have been getting this severe pain in the back of my head, it would come and go, sometimes it would hurt to lay down on a pillow at night, I felt around but found nothing, now a bit before that I wacked my head on a shelf and so I thought all this time it was just a bruise and it will go away, but I did notice alot of head aches over the past month so I kept taking all sorts of over the counter pain killers and it seemed to work.
Well today something triggered the worst ------- pain I have ever felt, not only that but the spot where the pain is was bulging out of the back of my head, seemed like a blod clot or an anurism, I vomited and passed out oh and my blood pressure is 200 over 122, so I went to the ER and guess what, there is nothing they can do to me, at first they said they are full, then my parents got involved and they finally let me go in.
So they got me to lay down, the doctor comes in to the room and feels around the back of my skull, tells me there is nothing there and discharges me, I'm like no no wait, I've been having these pains for the last month and a half, there is no way you can tell me I'm fine, so we got in to an argument, he felt it again and told me my vitals are fine.....200/122 sound fine to you?
he said if I dont leave he'll get cops involved, so I told him to go ---- himself and went to a different hospital, guess what, its closed.
So I'm sitting here now with a huge bulge in the back of my head, extreme pain, feel like I'm about to vomit and nobody can help me, I have to wait a day to see a doctor who will probably be as dumb as this stupid ----.
Now do you see why rich people have it good?

rofl, no cat scan or anything? 
p.s. american health care isn't any better. Doctors always seem to assume you're full of ----, tell you you're fine, then send you a 400 dollar bill. Google is my doctor

Sounds like a lovely hospital you went to 
After my two serious car wrecks where I needed to go to the ER they made me wait for an hour before going in. They could've atleast gave me some morphine in the waiting room
Sounds like you need to sneak over to the US of A and get a doctor to check you out. The hospitals in pittsburgh are top notch

so does canadia free healthcare cover regular doctor appointment? rather than emergency room visits?
meaning, can you schedule an appointment with a doctors office or some kind of specialist to look at you?
ps i pay $3200 a year for health insurance that i don't use, and would have recieved the same treatment if i did, lol.
