Will they help me

my dad had a lump on his lower back, it was lipoma (a growth of fat and tissue, completely harmless)

apparently it can be caused by sitting for too long - he works in an office

Since you live in Canada yes, more then likely you'll be sent in for an ultra-sound/mri to see if it's a tumor.

>>41454193
In canada it seems the opposite. You REALLY have to push for tests and stuff. I'm thinking of just going to the hospital since that's the easiest it seems

>>41454226
you could do that, but you'll be waiting for hours

>>41454226
Get a family doctor that you like. You call them tell them sort of what's up then book an appointment. Anything that's an abnormal growth is usually looked at right away as to catch cancer's and what not early.

>>41454237
Yeah but ill also get it asap plus if you go at ~3-4pm on a weekday you'll barely wait at all more often than not. I've went once at 5pm on a Wednesday I got out in 2 hours with ultrasound done

>>41454226
Don't do this. Go to doctor before hospital. Don't be a parasite.

>>41454299
Suck my dick walkin doctors don't do shit ever they barely look at you

Just go to your local walk in clinic or hospital. You may have to wait a couple hours before they see you

>>41454355
Yeah but idk how to explain. It's been like this for months and I've just tried working through it...

>>41454368
"Hey I have a lump on the right side of my lower back that's causing me pain. Would you mind having a look at it?"

Wow that was hard.

>>41454393
It's not really a lump exactly more just something I feel with my fingers.

>>41454017
Go to a clinic, bring a book.

As a Canadian, I will put things off until I'm literally on the verge of death before I'll go to a hospital because the fuckin runarounds are so annoying. Be a real man op and ignore everything pretending health issues are negligible, and if it's bad enough an amberlamps will deliver you there one day anyway

>>41454489
it's free though. Literally retarded not to see a doctor.

>>41454497
Kind of, aside from the fact I generally have to take two days off work just to sit in waiting rooms and then drive to a different location for paperwork, or to take a urine sample because they don't do that at this facility, or some other stupid bullshit.

RIP

Go to the hospital at an urgent care rather than emergency. They will be able to send you to the right specialist. Or you can call a health links number where you can speak to a registered nurse about symptoms and concerns and they will be able to go from there.

>>41454226
I never had to push for blood tests or other tests. Prob because I have a serious heart condition.

>>41454886
bullshit manipulating the rationing system is the only way to get treated in Canada. I had to go to emergency and pretend I was having an appendicitis to get an xray once because I kept getting prescribed celebrex by idiot female GPs.

>>41454886
Yeah I'm gonna call tomorrow to see what they say but most likely ill go to a walkin and then a hospital

>>41454932
Do you get shown your results at the hospital? I've gotten two ct's done before and they never showrd me I think they might lie then and say it's fine

Canadian "healthcare", ladies and gentlemen.

>>41454932
You either have to be real sick or just lie about your symptoms, which I don't do but know people who do in Canada.

>>41455079
This.

One time I said I smoked two packs of cigarettes a day when I needed a chest xray.

>>41455130
Say good bye to quality health care if you smoke in Canada.

>>41455162
? They can't do anything, you'll get better healthcare because it's seen as more dire

>>41455162
I'm a Smoker and received life saving surgery in Toronto general. AMA

>Canada
Youre done for OP, make peace with yourself

>>41455229
Was your doctor a poojeet

>>41455331
One of them was actually. My specialist was white. Actual surgeon was Chinese.

>>41455428
Cool

I live in Aurora. It's hard to find a family doctor here

>>41455467
Word of advice. Find a Jewish family doc.

>>41455598
Aren't Jews evil though

>>41455662
Only if you're in /b/ or /pol/
... Or sometimes /k/
Or /r9k/ when they go full potato

>>41454463
then say that
