Ahh, Brock Lesnar? AHA. That guy... yeah, he's not known for sayin' the right things.. let's just put it that way.
Honestly, who really cares what he thinks? His opinion is not too incredibly important.
Brock Lesnar, "Canada's health care system 3rd world", page 1

First post in a while, go easy on me...
As I'm on my way home today, listening to my favorite talk radio station.
CFRB 1010, John Moore started talking about a UFC fighter downplaying the Canadian Health Care system. The story goes, Brock Lesnar owns a cabin deep in the woods of Manitoba (3 hours away from the nearest hospital).
Lesnar reportedly became ill and went to the hospital where the doctors told him they didn't know what was wrong with him.
Lesnar claims that Canada's health care system just wasn't up to his standard and that it was comparable to THIRD WORLD HEALTH CARE... wait what...? Third world? Third world countries don't have health care.
Check it out here
Story here
As a Canadian, I am both offended and down right disturbed by the fighter comments.
To be honest I usually feel bad for americans as they have to deal with such a corrupt health care system. But now I don't, if Americans are stupid enough to eat up this stuff then they deserve it.
Sure our system has its flaws and every health care system has its horror stories...
However, there is no excuse to leave people in debt for medical misfortunes.
Sure you might have to wait a little longer here, but you will be taken care of..
My father had a triple heart by pass a few years ago.
My father had one days notice of the surgery because the doctors determined if they didn't take action that he would die. The surgery went on and was a complete success. My father is alive and healthy today, still working in fact.
In conclusion, it's easy to bash Canada's health care system for small things, but in the end Health care is affordable for almost any government.
Specifically if your government has billions of dollars to put in to technologies specifically on killing people.

Lol. Brock Lesnar's health.
If they'd have done their research, they would've found that there is now an interim heavyweight championship belt up for grabs due to Brock Lesnar's health. So, whatever. The guy's got a lot of stuff wrong with him.
Brock Lesnar needs a veterinarian, not a doctor. The guy's a freak.

You guys need to get your facts straight before you start talking @#$% about Brock Lesnar and his experience. Here is the real story, as I am a
follower of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts):
Brock Lesnar came down with a life-threatening bacterial infection called Diverticulosis. He had been sick for weeks before finally going to the doctor here in America, where he was initially told he just had a bad case of Mono. Weeks more passed, and he wasn't getting any better. He decided to pull out of his fight back in November, and took a trip to his cabin in Canada to get away from things, and try to get well again so he could start training. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Lesnar collapsed at his home in Canada and was rushed to the hospital located in Canada. There, he was told by the doctor "I don't know what's wrong with you" and had to wait an extended period of time for any more in-depth analysis of his condition.
By this time, his boss Dana White, who is the president of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) here in America, told him to come back to the states to see doctors here. Lesnar did just that, and after one visit was finally disgnosed with Diverticulosis. It was then found that Lesnar's fighting career (he was and still is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion) and potentially even his life were in danger if something wasn't immediately done. The doctors decided to give him high doses of antibiotics and wait for a period of 8 hours (yes we're talking HOURS here people) to see how his body reacts to the infection before under going surgery. Surgery in his case was going to result in removing his colon and ending his fight career permanently.
After the 8 hours had passed, Lesnar started making a miraculous recovery, and surgery to remove his colon was deemed unnecessary. Story in a nutshell- because he came back to America and was seen by doctors who actually knew what they were doing in a timely matter, this man's career and possibly LIFE was saved.
Here is an interview from yesterday about this whole ordeal on espn:

Well then in that case we got to give Canada some credit as they didn't misdiagnose him with Mono .
Can 1 USA 0
Now to be serious for a min , you are right we should have checked as most of us seem to have replied to the OP and not looked into the story deeper for ourselves . Instead we chose to poked fun at the big guy , shame on us
.
All that aside , lets hope he makes a full recovery

America saves another Canadian life. It's not the first time and
won't be the last. The Canadian Health Care System is imploding.

Brock Lesnar is American. He was born in South Dakota. He was at first misdiagnosed before coming to Canada.
It stands to reason that if someone has a disease that is difficult to detect, then the most common reasons for the illness would be ruled out.
I'm pretty sure he'd built up some sort of medical profile by the time he was treated in the USA for the SECOND time.
I think it's better to say you don't know what's wrong with someone than to misdiagnose them.

Brock is Canadian ?
That aside , lets be fair , Canada has helped the U.S out a few time as well , see the Canadian Caper
As for the crack US doctors lets not kid ourselves , they have been known to get it wrong once or twice as well . Heck they have even been known to amputate parts by mistake

I just about spat my oatmeal onto my keyboard. 
Canada is GIGANTIC. With not a lot of people on it. It isn't as if we have the Mayo Clinic sitting on every patch of grass. You'd need to be a wild animal vet to have the clients for that.
