This is propaganda for private healthcare in Ontario.
So many crucial details are missing.
What did they do here, and what did they do there?
Did he get his previous surgeries at a hospital that specializes in IBD, or just whatever was close by?
There’s a MASSIVE difference between having bowel surgery done by a general surgeon, and one who specializes in GI disease (mt Sinai in Toronto is one of the best in the country for this).
Was he on meds before, and is he on meds now? If he wasn’t before, why not?
If he doesn’t have a bag now, did they give him an internal pouch?
Because I hate to be the one to say this, but Crohn’s can reoccur in whatever parts are left… he was sold a $600,000 promise with no guarantees.
Now, if he has Ulcerative Colitis, then they could remove the colon and be done with it. He’d be “cured” at that point, and would only have to manage with a bag or an internal pouch, with only some risks associated with either.
Ty. I fucking lost it on my company when they started to internally promote great healthcare services, through maple…which is Loblaws.
I showed them there was already a 25$ increase in costs the month loblaws got this shitty hands on it and KNOW it’s only going to skyrocket. Thanked them for options, but blasted them for being so damn tone deaf about pushing private healthcare over public healthcare which we can all use. I wouldn’t want to see the lowest paid get screwed and die because we all earn too little, and healthcare is owned by a grocery store criminal.
