The Story so Far ...April 2024
Starting in 1984 on Cortes Island Susan retired from teaching in Campbell River School District #72 and started a dog walking service, Running-With-Dogs. Susan is very active. She is a long term member of the Campbell River Spirit Dragon Boating Team.
Susan needs a Hip Replacement
Susan reached the point where she had to do something about her hip and was told that she would have to wait. After waiting six months, last week, she saw a surgon who told her that she would have to wait another 15 months!
We started looking into private clinics. Guess What?
It turns out ...
There ARE US and Canadian private clinics. I once went to a clinic in the US. I was told one ($) amount and ended up paying ($$) TWICE as much. Buyer Beware! Best if you are a lawyer!
In Canada, Susan CAN go to Alberta and receive treatment starting at $35k, but she CAN NOT go to a private clinic in British Columbia, where some of the costs might be covered by BC Medical.
