Overall though... the US has pretty decent healthcare... probably because the US, because it uses private medicine overmedicates instead of undermedicates. Which means stuff like cancer is more likely to be discovered in the early stages. In the US yearly or even bi-yearly checkups when you feel perfectly healthy is the norm a lot of the time. Even people on government insurance. You get painkillers and antibiotics for the littlest things, MRI's and all kinds of X-rays for every little acident etc. |
regular physicals are standard in Canada as well, though I would assume that an insurance company would force you to partake in them rather than them being optional. You get painkillers, and antibiotics when needed. It is unprofessional for antibiotics to be given when reward doesn't exceed risk. For non serious issues MRI's can take some time (rough knee). It is unprofessional for x rays to be used when reward doesn't exceed risk thus they are not used in situations when proper treatment gan be given without.
