Hello,
Wondering if anyone has ever received a positive result back from the non-specific IGG EIA test in Canada, through Public Health? I've read a few testimonials in which people claim that they have had positive swabs, but negative blood tests from Public Health. Leads me to question the accuracy of the test, or weather or not it works at all.
Thanks.
If i go to a community health center, will it be free?. The only reason i dont want to see a doctor, is money issues.
s a given as we all have health insurance as per the Canada Health Act. Supplemental insurance for most prescription meds, eye care, dental care is another matter and covered by supplemental health plans. I have that too.
Other interesting questions would include how much do each of us pay for premiums, how much are our co-pays.
I'm curious about how much $$$ is spent in total one year on my health care including physician visits, radiology, ER visits, etc.
still looking for possible IL28B testing and any of the latest in Canada, Has anyone filed in Ontario for transfusion compensat claim, just wondering about questions and procedure of the health long term care Hep C assist program.
My hubby needs to see a specialist in Canada regarding this issue. Does anyone have any names of docs in Canada who deal with AD. We were vacationing in Australia, both got bit by jellyfish. I had AD for 3 months and it went away. He still has it after 2 years. He was healthy, young 35 yr old with no health issues. It's crazy, I could make a movie out of our experience. Any help is appreciated.
I'm just curious if there is anyone from Canada that has been accepted for Triple Therapy Treatment? I'm in British Columbia and I have to meet the treatment critieria before the Canadian government will fund treatment for me. So, the one thing holding me back is that I have to meet the enzyme criteria of having to have 3 lab tests of enzymes that are 1.5 times higher than normal. The problem is that most of my enzymes are in the normal range.
The care and management of ones own health and body lay under the domain and within responsibility of the individual. This is a right provided by and guaranteed by the Charter of Rights in Canada. Health Canada wishes to bypass the Charter of Rights and instead play 'god' with my health. I for one, do not nor will not grant Health Canada the opportunity to preempt my life choices. C 51 is Bad policy, unneccessary Government and bad health.
Agree Disagree.
OK so yesterday i got bitten by a stray cat. My health anxiety kicks in and i freaked out thinking im gonna die from Rabies. So i went to ER they cleaned the wound and gave me a shot and also antibiotics and told me that i can get a rabies shot if i want to. So i decided to be on the safe side and take the rabies shot although the cat seemed to be friendly and seemed to belong to someone. Now back to Rabies.
The only option I can think of is assistance through the drug company but I was wondering if any fellow Canucks knew of how long the wait is for a typical review under a provincial health plan? I called our plan here but could not even get a time frame for the process.
Thanks very much!
I am also from Canada. We have universal health care - health care available to all who require it. You need to go to your family doctor and have him/her refer you to a mental health specialist. I'm wondering - are you a Canadian citizen with a valid health card? If not, I'm not sure of the procedure.
Our product INSTI is a rapid in-vitro qualitative test for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1/2. However our current license from Health Canada is for only HIV-1 and that is the reason the product inserts you saw at the clinics in Ontario mention only HIV-1. Our application for HIV-2 is pending with Health Canada and we are hopeful that very soon INSTI will be licensed in Canada for HIV-2 also like it is many countries including Europe.
im always reading about how people cant afford health care on here and i was confused for a little while until i realized that in the US there is no free health care like there is here.. that must really suck, i couldnt imagine having to bring a baby into the world without having health care. kudos you who do it tho!
