if you want quick health care and are willing to pay for it , there are lots of private hospitals in canada , if your bodybuilder friend wanted quick treatment he could have paid for it , he wanted it for free so he had to wait , end of story
That's funny because at the time, which was about a decade ago, that was never mentioned to him that i know of. I know he said a couple pro's he knew from the U.S told him later on he should've looked into a surgeon in the U.S. and went there. This is Canada, and not many surgeons have repaired torn pecs -- it's pretty rare. he was turned away from a couple surgeons just because they weren't comfortable with doing it. Eventually he was told to get the best shoulder surgeon in Canada to do it and he was the Toronto Blue Jays and Leafs surgeon but that guys waiting list was pretty massive.
His was misdiagnosed right from the getgo, told it was just a strain. of course he was young and figured the doctors he saw knew what they were talking about. I think it took 3 different doctors to actually order an X-ray and ultra sound and finally realized the dude's pec was clean off the bone.
The funny thing is if he was a hockey player dude would've been taken care of like a prince. Nobody gives a shit what some juiced up bodybuilder did to themselves lifting heavy weights
sad but true
