I find the problems in Canadian hospitals is slightly different, even in Quebec where we have to cope in two languages. The nurses are mostly pretty sharp and know their stuff. The problem is their reluctance to tell the patients anything. It's no better with the doctors making their daily rounds. One day, as if by magic, they pop up and say, "Well, going home today, eh?" Thanks a hell of a lot for telling me! I was in for 3 months recently with a stroke, and the best thing besides being alive is I lost 25lbs. on their food, and didn't catch any life threatening viruses while there. Hospitals have really put the thrill back into being sick. Best wishes.
