Yiwu,

My brother was in a car accident in Vancouver which injured his spine and 12 years ago he had surgery. He had to have an MRI the other day due to some pain he was having and they found scraps of metal in his back.

1. No doctor wants to deal with it because in a state-run system they may lose business if they support a patient lawsuit against the state

2. He cannot find a surgeon who will remove the metal. They all say 'it isn't there'. The MRI radiologist has circled the metals scraps on the MRI film, there is no bone of other skeletal structure supposed to be where the scraps are located.

3. If he can find a back surgeon, the avg wait is 42 weeks, better surgeons are longer.
