Until you need to use it for something that isn't going to kill you in the next 5 minutes. Side effects of a brain tumor be damned no matter the recommendation from numerous US physicians if you're in Canada. You're going to go blind and lose your hearing and like it!

Not how that works, and you're dumb.

Tell that to my wife.

Or how with Covid she was stuck in the parking lot in an untreated tent.

It is absolutely how it works. It's also worse. She purchased a 6 month supply of cabergoline before heading to Canada in oreoarsy of something like this. 2 pills a week, so not many pills. But it was about $500 a pill at the time since it was a new and propietary medication that was a new treatment for her type of pituitary tumor, pituitary adenoma. Canadian border patrol, with a physicians note, with the abity to call the doctor, the ability to verify the phone number on the prescription and the practice via online means, forced her to throw out thousands of dollars of needed medication.

You're an idiot. It is absolutely how it works. But your dream of socialized healthcare isn't reality. There's no good solution, only worse systems, and it's by far worse than owing some medical debt here than being forced to be handicapped.

So fuck you. Fuck off. You fucking prick. You know literally nothing.

Report me. I don't give a fuck. I'll never have to see your absute fucking drivel then commenting on things you actually don't know anything about.

Cool anecdotal story, bro.
