Hi John
Sorry dude I'm not a sailor like you are -- I'm one of those wanna be's
what the heck why lie about it. I got real sick and the dang doctor took
all our money we had saved -- kidney removal. If you remember I was a
power-boater wanting to learn sailing that's how I found this group. Now I
just log on once in an while and tease a little and to say hi.

less than 80 words :P

So, in 100 words or less, tell us all about your last great sailing
experience of over 1 week or 500 nm. Making it real easy, it doesn't have
to
be consecutive miles.

If she lived in Canada she would have died waiting on the list
for the operation.

Nope... emergency surgery always is immediate and takes priority. Elective
surgery, no life threatening medical attention is placed to a wait list.

Then she would have been placed on that waiting list. One kidney is good
enough to keep person alive and healthy. Other than controlling the infection,
the bad kidney posed no real threat.

Yup... if it wasn't life threatening.. she would be placed on a list... but
a six month wait would have left her savings intact. If an emergency had
occurred during the wait... she would have been tended to immediately. It's
got it's problems... but nobody here would trade it for a system like the
one you have in the USA.

CM

Without the research our system generates, Canada would be much worse off.
You guys need us whether you like it or not.
