I agree was a great article but very sad. Hope the government get off their asses soon about this and DO something about it.

Unfortunately it will probably not get the ball rolling, but it might make them move her case up, who knows.  One point that should be made, that I see some have commented on her site weightymatters is that someone recommend she pay for it, hey I am ready to go for my surgery and I will have to pay for it, they are pushing us out of the province to get it done and my main concern is that they don't want to have to take care of you if you run into complications.  I don't think they can really refuse if you show up in emergency.  But really my point is, we do feel ourselves as being a priority, *****ally knows what the clinic in Halifax is really doing, are they pushing up people that "know" someone in the office?  Could I get in any faster if I paid them some cash that I would be spending by going away to have the procedure done?  Heck I would love to have the surgery here but I am left with no choice and have to go to Mexico.

Thank you Lillian.  I am so glad that people are now aware of this crisis in Nova Scotia.  I am praying something will happen to change the system here.  Lillian, you are very brave.
