HEALTH CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT IN CANADA

If anyone complains about Health Care, well consider all that is good.
Today I would like to advocate for more home care for people. The cost is much lower than one trip to the hospital. Average ER visit $1,500.00. A home nurse visit- much lower. In the comfort of your own home is so much better. Not having to drag a chronically ill person to needless doctor's visits is always a good thing.
If a Personal Support Worker is needed, well be assessed for it.
If you have health benefits can charge any equipment needs to that benefit.
Or trying to get a tax credit for all the spending may be possible too.
The ambulance service is there in an emergency.
Health Care is as good as the people providing the service. If not satisfied with one caregiver then ask for another one.
Be a good patient. Unnecessary complaining is just wasted energy. Both patient and professional are part of the same team. Care of you.
Respect, courtesy and sharing information is always a good thing.
