Roy,
Could you have done like I did....seek some alternate source of care within your system....change of Doctor perhaps and then have a favorable outcome or were you stymied by the decision of that one Doctor (or a review board that made the actual decision based upon the Physican's Notes)?
Canadian EMS has some problems as well.
Let's look back at the Ornge EMS Operation and the turmoil that has taken place there over the past few years to include fatal accidents and wrongful spending and other accusations.
Do a search using the word "Ornge" here at PPRuNe and you will come up with numerous Threads seen here at Rotorheads in the past.
