I would like to say hi but, I am SO P'OD that I could rip off heads and beat the health authority with the wet end. To H E double hocky sticks with karma or anything else. Believe me I am being very subdued with my intentions here. I worked in Vancouver under the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and the woman that is running it now has the credentials of a knat's rump! She used to be the President of a Carpet Company. How's that for knowing anything about healthcare and funding. We absolutely have start a letter writing campaign. I was told when this all started that oh no things weren't going to be like Dr. Woodhead. He was not given surgical hours for the procedure. Now it is starting to seem like the same thing. I will be contacting every person on this miserable list a sharing a few choice observations. Sarah Excuse any spelling errors, I really don't care!

Here are some emails to for these individuals: Janet Davidson, Chief Operating Officer [email protected] Ida Goodreau President and CEO [email protected] Dr. Garth Warnock [email protected] Gotta love the power of google. Anybody and everybody who can help, please do. It will only take 5-10 to send a quick email to these people to show them how important this surgery is and the benefits of it. If we can get more people to have surgery in Vancouver, it only helps us all in the long run by decreasing the wait times with Dr.A. I am making a special call to all post-ops that read this board, please please send in an email. You are our living proof that this surgery is beneficial. Whether you had it with Dr.A, in Mexico, in the States, it doesn't matter, we just need you to write to tell these people the benefits of this surgery.
