Since her hip was totally destroyed, it was replaced with a metalic replica. Her leg bones are a rather interesting combination of metal and bone, but they have been restored.
It took her over two years to walk again, but the hospital costs were fully covered.
Liberals, if you want your own "Free" health care plan, then go for it.
Just keep me out of it!

And what makes you say that you and your wife would not be treated in a national health system the same way? I lived in Europe almost 30 years and i must say i have never seen any patient being refused treatment, the equipment and technology seems pretty much the same, and the doctors are very competent. We see new treatment techniques, procedures and equipment being invented and developed every year there, so i don-t think the fact of being a public service makes it less technologically advanced...
I think there is a lot of prejudice and big money at stake.
