when my doctor told me I should have a knee replacement I scoffed, but he put my name on the waiting list anyway. after 9 or so months my name came up and I declined 'cause I still felt I wasn't ready. That happened three more times because like you say, it is generally a gradual process. when it came to my other knee, I was scheduled for four months later. no out of pocket cost other than air travel to Vancouver. physical therapy available as soon as I was ready for it. my husband suffered a heart attack three years ago and was medivacced out to St. Paul's hospital in Vancouver and had a stent inserted. no out of pocket cost other than return air travel home. based on our personal experience over many years, we have absolutely no complaints with Canada's health care system.
