Uhh.. Not fun. Hospitals, from what I've heard, are one of the top sources of infections and have to constantly fight against this. I fear that new, hardier strains of diseases may well be bred in these areas.

>>Again.. I understand this is a private affair and I've had to also wrestle with issues like this so I mean no offense. I was just curious. Does Canada step into situations like this and provide for her in a form like our Social Security Administration would?

>I'm not sure of the details, but yes they do. Something about his due Canada Pension transferred to sister-in-law immediately. And a couple of other social programs that can kick in depending on amounts. But it took just over four months for the first of this to come in, which wasn't so hot.

Oh, ok.. While I certainly detest the over-lawyering that goes on there is a time to engage them I'd think as well.
