In 2011 I got a hip replacement in Charleston WV. There were 3 Canadians and 2 brits there too to get hip and knee replacements. They all waited 5 years for the surgeries.
Finally they borrowed money to come here and have surgery.
2 cried when they found out I only had to wait 2 months foe my boss to get someone to fill in for me at work.
That's when I discovered the ugly truth of Socialised Medicine. It sucks.
