As a retired front-line police officer for 30 years, I wonder now that my aching bones need an MRI for 25 injuries over the years at work, why the delay?

An NHL hockey player or Premier Doug Ford get an MRI the same day as it is needed, so why is my earliest date June 2024 when my doctor marked the form as 'urgent'?

The Ontario health system is beyond broken.

I could travel to Buffalo and have it in a week, if I was not in excruciating pain, and then pay for it.

Ontario has great Third World health care!
