TORONTO Sick Childrens' Hosp Influenza immunisation stats

TORONTO: SICK CHILDRENS' HOSPITAL

CLINICAL STAFF: 64.3% immunized against INFLUENZA ( 35.7% of CLINICAL STAFF FAILED TO BE IMMUNISED)

NURSING STAFF  78%  immunized agaainst INFLUENZA   ( 22% of NURSING STAFF FAILED TO BE IMMUNISED)


PRIVATE MONEY subsidizes STATE MEDICINE.

Founder & CEO of  MATTAMY HOMES Ltd., PETER GILGAN donated $40,000,000  to TORONTO SICK CHILDRENS' HOSP. RESEARCH & LEARNING CENTER.

(Strictly according to OHIP rules a MD could be fined for giving Mr.GILGAN -or his family-priority medical attention).

This absurdity makes a mockery of the Ontario State monopoly of (never defined) MEDICALLY NECESSARY MEDICINE.

As with USA Prohibition the Ontario OHIP rules are broken daily through use of "WELLNESS CENTRES" that at do not bill OHIP for the DOCTOR visits, (but bill OHIP for investigations). The trick is that the office  provides ext ra services e.g. a Dietitian or Physiotherapist. An example is The Toronto CLEVELAND CLINIC CANADA -30,000 sq.ft.- that charges about $3,500/yr for unlimited medical services, a five hour annual exam and direct commuinication with the USA Cleveland Clinic.

QUEBEC has allowed PRIVATE HOSPITALS ( e.g. ROCKLANDMD)
