Patient told 2-3 year wait for sinus surgery, credits private clinic with saving his life
When Bruce MacDonald visited his doctor about his agonizing sinus problems, he was told it would be a 2-3 year wait for surgery.
He couldn’t imagine living with the pain and discomfort that long and worried about the mould problem in his body spreading. Bruce then borrowed some money and went to a private clinic for faster treatment – a clinic that he believes saved his life.
Now the B.C. government is effectively trying to shut down clinics like the one Bruce visited. Click the video above to watch Bruce’s story.
