After the cast came off I was provided with phsyiotherapy for 3 months. In the 4th month I had the pins, wire and screw's removed in surgery and I was out of the hospital the same day.
I'd say I received prompt medical treatment of the highest standard from our health system. Certainly as good as any animal would receive!

when you are in critical condition you do get treatment pretty fast I'd think atleast that's our experience. My wife's grandmother was taken in intensive care as soon as she arrived at the York Central.. she died in a few days during her stay at the hospital but no-one in her family could complain about the treatment provided by the system. Few weeks ago while visiting a patient at the hospital I've seen bullet wounded people rushed in the surgery too right away. Hey ya know what my wife didn't have to wait on a line either when she went into labor just 6 months ago hehe. Now, for less emergencies things could be a bit different I dunno.
On another token, vets are private therefore fucking rip offs. I took my dog to emergency once. the doc said would cost me $850. After an intensed haggling he agreed on $110 ($65 mandatory for stepping in emergency clinic + $45 for a shot to help stop him from throwing up every 15 minutes). So go figure!
