Since everyone keeps holding the socialized healthcare system in Canada out to be the solution to all of our woes:
Knife Taken From Canadian Man's Back After Three Years
In April 2010, McNeely got into a fight after an arm wrestling match and was stabbed five times, he told the Canadian Press news agency.
Doctors at the local accident and emergency room stitched him up but never took an X-ray, he said. Seeking subsequent treatment for the lingering discomfort, he was told he had suffered nerve damage.
But this week, McNeely, 32, was scratching his back as usual when his fingernail caught on something. His girlfriend took a look.
"I told Billy: 'There's a knife sticking out of your back.' I was scared. I was ready to pull it out with tweezers," Stephanie Sayine told CBC News.
Didn't even do something as simple as take an X-ray. Yep, that's the kind of healthcare we need...
