Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I talked with my boss today and he seemed a little antsy at my still being off.
In particular, he was a little perturbed that my surgery is put off indefinitely.

By law, they don't have to wait for me, but if the job goes to someone else, I just need for God to redirect & open another door.

Thankfully WCB will be obligated to pay my wage until I get another job.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Is it law there that you get paid full salary while on medical leave? In the USA, all you would get is something like 60-65%, while under workmen's comp.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Here it is 70% with no deductions.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Are you unable to work while waiting on surgery?

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Yes.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I just cant believe it is taking this long to get surgery.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Me too.

Although the talk in medical circles is a lack of medical personal.
There is money and facilities, but not enough people & we aren't pumping enough out of the system.

So, if you are a doctor, surgeon, nurse, you could come here & write your own pay cheque!

Ron, I know you are in a bad situation, so don't think I am saying this to be hurtful towards you, but this is what happens with nationalized health care.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Sorry to hear this Ron, will be praying.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

As long as they pay in Loonies. I hear its worth more than the USD!

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Rico dun got the Holy Ghost!




did you just confess you arent voting for obama?

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Ferd, how many times do I have to tell you right wing nuts I am not voting for anyone this time around? You guys just about have me convinced to vote for Obama, just to make what you are saying true and give you something to complain about. :snapout

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Rico, the thing I am most happy about is the fact that your recognize that I am a right wing nut!

That makes me happy. I am a Right wing nut. ergo a right wing ideologue.


Not only that but I am RIGHT.


But lets state it clear for all to hear, Rico believes nationalized medicine is bad!

Yea Rico, I precieve thou shalt one day be delivered!

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

No offense taken, but I think your analysis is wrong.
There is a shortage of medical personal worldwide even in the US!

The Mrs said they even have shortage of personal in Oregon.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

:whistle

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

All I know is that when I needed non-emergency surgery, i got it in a couple of days.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Ron the more important thing is, that I am praying for you my friend. I know how helpless you feel not being able to work.

God is in control.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I didn't say I think it's bad. I do, however, think it has its own issues. You just love putting words in peoples' mouths, huh? :whistle

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

It's true there is a high demand, but people aren't sitting around waiting for necessary surgeries because of it, Ron.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

im sorry Rico, i really thought by pointing out that when a guy cant get surgery due to nationalized health care system, you mean its bad.


I take it back.

Rico doesnt think its bad, it just has its "own issues"


did i get that right? I sure dont want to mis-represent the mighty Rico!

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Amen, thanks.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Dat's mo bedda! I don't need anyone's help misrepresenting my views!! :D

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

That is the thing, it is considered a "elective" surgery.
Not emergency enough to get it done, but necessary enough to keep me out of work.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I could get elective surgery in this country any time I wanted to, Ron. Like I said, there is a shortage of medical professionals in the US, but it's not affecting people's ability to get surgery.

At any rate, I know sitting at home all day with nothing to do but post on AFF must be driving ya nuts. I feel for you, Bro. A man likes to feel he's doing something with his time that's productive. Have you considered doing a work from home job? I could refer you to a company I know about.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I am thinking of doing the same thing as another guy, his name is Donald Trump or something like that!:whistle

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

:) If you decide you would like to look into it, lemme know. I know a few sources you could go to for work at home jobs.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I want a picture of your "combover" for my dartboard!!

:bliss

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

...and my oversized ego?:tease

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Rico, I thought you were a fan of nationalized health care. Seems like that's what your guy Obama wants to bring us.

Indeed, but if we were to intitute nationalized health care here, the basic laws of supply and demand would kick in.

There wouild be a significant increase in demand (that is, the people taking advantage of free/reduced-cost healthcare) while the supply (facilities, personnel) would be the same, at least initially. This would cause longer wait times, and reduction in the average quality of care overall.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Ya know, I think I have figured out what the problem is with right wing nuts in this country. They only pay attention to what they want to pay attention to. :D

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

Refer me!!

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

I guess in Canada it takes a while to get a goverment doctor,I suppose.
Hopefully my dear brother you can get your surgery soon.

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
 

A system where 42 million Americans have no health care?

Ahh, yeah right thanks.:crazy

Re: Uh Oh, I See A Problem
