Hello I live in Toronto Ontario and have a tumour in my neck. I have been on a waiting list for a family doctor for 6 years and I have not had any luck with the HCL (unfortunately). I went to the hospital and waited 18 hours and the doc said they would refer me to a specialist for a biopsy which will be in 8 months to a year without the annual HCL. If it's Cancer It may take another year to see a surgeon and by then I fear I'll be dead.

I just don't know what to do I'm so scared. The tumour is growing by the day. Please help!!

What does HCL stand for? I assume the HC stands for health care but I don't know what the L stands for.

This seems like an unusual situation. I've never heard of anyone having to wait longer than a week to get a biopsy done even if they didn't have their own GP. You don't need to have your own GP to get a clinic doctor's or an ER doctor's referral for a biopsy or to be referred to a specialist.

What kind of help are you looking for from strangers on an internet forum? Are you looking for advice? If so, what kind of advice are you looking for?

Just for humor's sake, you can fly to Buffalo or even Boston and get immediate surgery on neck tumors for an estimated cost of $6,166 USD (surgical procedure only), excluding hospitalization costs, administration, and other related prescription costs.

FH Consumer Cost Lookup

Why don't you do that? Fork out 10k in cash and your problems will be solved!

This sounds like some uninformed Tea Party American Republican decided he knew all about socialist healthcare and wanted to try to make "a point"

Ah so.

Then I think you need to report yourself to the Canadian Health Care Anti-Fraud Association. The link is below but I'd suggest that you report in person so here is the address, it's in your town.

Suite 305, 120 Carlton Street, Toronto, ON M5A 2K1


Welcome | Canadian Health Care Anti-fraud Association


They will take good care of you.

Hello right back at ya!

This incarnation is going to be about as successful as the other ten you've attempted in your OCD fueled obsession over all things Canadian.

You need to get yourself some genuine Canada pants there sunshine,.... er....starlight! The ones you're currently wearing are too small in the crotch.
