media: (Ontario, Canada) OHIP turns blind eye to suffering | London | News | London Free Press - McMaster University/Ontario Healthcare Minister/gynecology + public comments/add your comments



Blogger's Note: it is possible that all details are not included in this media item, however, as the article states,  neither the gynecologist at McMaster nor the Ontario Healthcare Minister commented.
.......................................................................................................

One specialist, Dr. Alexandre Nevin Lam, chastised Jones for seeking faster access, writing in a letter she should stop "doctor shopping, since this was a waste of both health-care resources and her time."

"Board members took issue not just with the stance of OHIP, but also with the Ontario specialists who had essentially told Jones to wait her turn.
The specialist she was to have waited for was Dr. Nicholas Leyland, top dog at Health Sciences Centre at Hamilton's McMaster University. But when Jones went to Sinervo, Leyland wrote to support OHIP's denial of coverage. "It is unfortunate that Dr. Leyland did not testify at the hearing," the board wrote."

"The Free Press requested interviews three days this week with Matthews, (Ontario Health Minister) a London MPP, but she didn't make herself available."
