Sort of... I do hear horror stories on occasion of folk having to wait for Gallbladder surgery 3 or 4 months.
I had a 30-day window from the day they got the test results back to get the surgery done. I was like, wait what? No, I can't do it this Friday!
I waited until the last possible day. And I still feel like it was too soon!
I had another surgery and they gave me a 6-month window. I did that one as soon as!
What bugs me is the insurance companies telling my doctor what treatment plans are right for me or not letting me get a flu shot in the doctor's office when I'm right there. Instead, they ship it out to the pharmacies.
Now, during the tour of Canada's capitol, they did mention on every tour (I've been on it A LOT) that the location was chosen to keep us rebels Americans from having an easy time to invade Canada. Even then, you just never knew when we were going to turn up haha
