{UAH} A WINPEGG WOMAN'S RIGHT LEG AMPUTATED AFTER WAITTING FOR 8 DAYS FOR BED

friends

 

You see when some of us were raising the problems of Obamacare during the days before insurance agents started to be blown up, the Allan Barigye’s reminded us that we don’t understand the value of Obamacare for we have a free healthcare in Canada. Well here is a story out of Winnipeg, I wonder if Barigye has ever seen it in United States. We are only 40 million people and we cannot fix a damn wound on a woman to losing a leg. And you sit out there to preach how we’ve a free healthcare that you simply have no idea how many victims it creates. Is she the first one to be a victim? Nope, I had a pain in my right shoulder last April, walked to a doctor, and he decided to put me on a prescription, the pain refused to go away, he increased the dosage till when I refused to take it for now I was going to become a victim of high dosage, the X-Ray wouldn’t find my problem, what I really needed is an MRI to assess what happened to it. In August they gave  me an appointment for an MRI of last week February 2025. And I live in down town Toronto so not in some Canadian bunia. Yes we  have the services in the city, but they are way over loaded, and the illegals that just swam into hospitals with interpreters, when they don’t even pay taxes, doesn’t help either, they strain the system, and the entire system. Schools, hospitals, buses, roads on and on, for they were not planned into the buildings of these services.

 

No you cannot raise that for now you are anti immigrants and a racist. –Well if planning for services is not important, why do we bother to do census? Let us throw them out too, and we do everything the African way.

Woman's right leg amputated after waiting 8 days for bed at Winnipeg's HSC to treat open wound

Story by Ian Froese

A Manitoba woman had her right leg amputated after complications following a knee replacement surgery two months earlier.

Roseanne Milburn, 61, went ahead with the scheduled amputation last Friday, after weeks of complications stemming from a post-surgery infection.

In late November, a surgeon at Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre began removing dead tissue from her right knee, with the intention of stitching her up later that day after she was seen by an orthopedic surgeon at Concordia Hospital.

She was sent to Concordia, but couldn't be transferred back to HSC because there wasn't a bed available for the specialist to finish the procedure. Instead, she spent eight days languishing at Concordia with a painful open wound.

Once she finally got to HSC, Milburn went under the knife for another infection, but due to the long delay in stitching up the wound, she said she was told her leg wasn't salvageable.

Shared Health, the entity that oversees health-care delivery in Manitoba, said last week it was up to Milburn to choose her preferred treatment option, but she stressed in interviews with CBC News the other choice, involving multiple surgeries and the chance her leg would still be amputated, didn't make sense.

"Nope, don't regret it," she said Monday of choosing the amputation.

"Don't like it because it's very painful," she added, describing the phantom limb pain she's feeling in the place where her leg used to be.

Milburn said the operation went well, but she remains frustrated the six years she's waited for a knee replacement surgery has ended with an amputation.

"Discouraged. Don't know if I'm going to be home for Christmas," she said from her hospital bed at Concordia, the hospital where the amputation took place.

"Still living this hell day-by-day, hour-by-hour, not knowing anything."

Within a day of the operation, she was looking for ways to do things on her own.

Using walker with one leg

She didn't like relying on others to take her to the washroom so she asked how to use a walker, despite only having one leg.

"They were surprised," Milburn said of medical staff, "but I said I need to be independent for me."

She longs for the ability to take care of herself and the people around her.

"I'm the matriarch of the family. I take care of the family and now it's really hard to have them take care of me," she said, as her voice was breaking.

"It's hard to accept because I'm the one that's supposed to be taking care of them."

She's planning to get a prosthetic leg but she must recover first. She expects to be in hospital rehabbing from her amputation until at least Christmas Day, maybe longer, she said.

Given the fallout of her right knee replacement surgery, Milburn has decided she won't get surgery on her other knee — a procedure she's also wanted for more than six years.

Her right knee surgery finally happened in October.

"Careful what you wish for," she said.
