[QUOTE="1989, post: 603043, member: 10280"] [B]Five weeks ago my son had leukemia[/B]. It took him 3 days to see a doctor. Finally got in on a Friday afternoon. He got some blood tests done and was told he had a low blood cell count so they kept him overnight. That saturday his count was even lower. Doctors came in many times, day and night. They narrowed it down to an autoimmune disease or leukemia. But would have to wait for a specialist on Monday. Sunday morning came and they had pints of blood set aside incase they had to do a blood transfusion. Sunday afternoon they eliminated the chance of an autoimmune disease and was focused on leukemia. But to be sure they would have to take bone marrow tonight or tomorrow morning. Monday morning comes, the specialist orders the bone marrow test. By midday his cell count has doubled. They are torn weather to take marrow or not. Finally my son decides that they should wait. Tuesday morning his count is up even more and that afternoon he was released. My son thinks that the doctors just wanted to see some bone marrow. Now his wife had to wait 2 weeks to get a prenatal appointment just to get a referrel to see an OBGYN in a couple weeks. How would government healthcare be different than what our military has? [/QUOTE]
