[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 309076, member: 12570"] It's funny you mention socialized medicine, which I assume means that you live in Canada. I live in a city 1/2 hour from the Canadian border in upstate NY and our local medical facilities often see patients from across the border as they simply cannot get in to see their own physicians in a timely manner. This most often applies to athletes who find it increasingly difficult to get in to see a specialist so they come down to the States. The price of socialized medicine may be right but the inability to be seen in a timely manner is not. I have had several injuries, one of which required surgery, and none of these injuries required me to see a certain physician. I simply went to the local ER or FastTrack, which is a clinic associated with the local ER which sees patient will lesser injuries/illnesses, was diagnosed, and received a referral to my ortho. The surgery did put me on comp and they did ask me to go to an appt with their doctor but I blew that off as it was right in the middle of the day and didn't hear anything about it. [/QUOTE]
