A tear-filled plea from a woman who believes her cancer was missed for years because she didn’t have a family doctor is proof of a system “in crisis,” a Nova Scotia doctor says. The province says it’s working on it.

Inez Rudderham said in a video now viewed more than 2.6 million times online that her stage 3 rectal cancer went undiagnosed for two years, despite having made three visits to emergency rooms.“I dare you to take a meeting with me and explain to me and look into my eyes and tell me that there is no health care crisis in my province of Nova Scotia,” Rudderman says in the video. “I dare you.”

“Hopefully it will mobilize the public to put more pressure on the department of health to make decisions and acknowledge that there is a crisis,” he said. “If these problems are not dealt with, it will only get worse.” Canadians were the fourth most likely to say they don’t have a regular doctor , behind Sweden , the United States and the United Kingdom . France topped the list with only 0.6 per cent saying they don’t have a family doctor.

But it’s FREE!!!!! All you Canadians that still support socialist health care are nuts!!!!

Let’s hope that she got baptized so she can be saved by our Lord Jesus Christ. We are going to die, but knowing die in Jesus Christ’s arm you never have to fear, but happy and peace.

All across Canada, Eh ? Canadians overrate & underfund their medical system.

I spent 2 years house bound because of my anxiety, depression, and IBS. This is my worst fear. The strength in this woman is unbelievable. OUR HEALTH CRISIS IS REAL. OUR SOCIAL SYSTEMS ARE BROKEN. We shouldn't have to scream from the peaks of Everest just to be heard. 😊🤗

This poor young woman should not have to suffer because of neglect - through no fault of her own! Shame, Shame, Shame on Liberals!

The system has been in crisis for years The major pillars of our society have all been shortchanged Healthcare, education, social safety net and infrastructure have all suffered because tax dollars are redirected by politicians trying to appease special interest groups
