Guys, we have a very good system here, when you have serious issues. When you go for a flu though, don't expect it to be fast, you'll wait 18 hours at the hospital.

My story: In 2011 my airways specialist found a tumor in my left lungs, we were in july on a friday. Here's what happened:

Friday: Got the CT scan result, he showed me something in my bronchus. Gave me an appointment for the following monday at 8am for a broncoscopy.

Monday: Get that tube into my lungs, see it, take the phone and call somebody while I recover lol. He gets back to me and says: Raphael, this pm at 2, go see Dr. Mulder, he's the montreal Canadians doctor, he'll see you. (I'm like, really?) I go there, meet his assistant, then him, and they tell me, we may remove your left lung (uh no?). We'll schedule a surgery next wednesday (9 days later).

That wednesday: Got my surgery, all went well.

Since then, I'm followed every 6 months, now every year, I have access to my doctor by email, try to beat that.

The doctors has been so nice, because I'm doing a lot of sport, we all agree that if my tumor is typical they'll leave my left lung there. It happened to be, and I have no longer trace of tumor.

So I'm sorry if I believe that we have a good system here.
