Last week Chuckie had an MRI done on her right knee. It sometime clicks, locks up and causes lots of pain.
We just got back from the knee surgeon, he said she has a torn meniscus. He wants to get in there and explore and clean up the tear. Can it be healed any other way??
Should Chuckie have surgery for her torn meniscus???
He says if we go to his clinic it will cost $600 we just have to pay the nurses the Government pays him.
Of course in Canada if we go to the hospital it is free. He can do it in the clinic this week or we can go on the waiting list for the Hospital it is about six months.
We can have about 150 Margaritas in Mexico for the $600 and Chuckie says wait til we get back in about six months and have it done in the Hospital day surgery. I don't want to rush her but should we do it now?

Thanks for the info. It is an option that I was not aware of under your system. I had the impression that Canada had a one choice fits all system. This hybridized approach is one that I think would be workable perhaps in the states. Good luck with the knee.
