‘Serious complaint’

Dear Editor:

I have a serious complaint here. Tommy Douglas, father of health care, would turn over in his grave.

It started out at the dentist. Three extractions – blame, blame, blame. This started my health decline and caused me to lose homeostasis. Then after I fell (three times on concrete) which ended in a fracture of my left wrist.

This resulted in back-to-back appointments with doctors offices, hospitals, doctors offices again – and I’m still on being “Ozzie Osborne patient #9.”

The final straw is that I had two bone density tests – yes two, at Groves and Guelph General hospitals – and I have upcoming appointments with doctors, hospitals, again and again! It’s costing me a fortune in transportation, VON, taxis, etc.

I’m just starting again to do my yoga and wearing braces all over my body. I volunteer with Wellington County. Just started to be a liaison again, but I can’t use my hand to pick up branches, recycling, etc.

OHIP scam – you betcha!
