(It’s all fun and games until you piss off a Canadian. Have we learned nothing from Alanis Morissette’s "Jagged Little Pill" album?)
Brock Lesnar refused to name the hospital in Canada where he received care that he likened to “a third-world country,” but it turns out he doesn’t need to. The CEO of the regional health authority in Brandon, Manitoba has done it for him, and she’s none too pleased with Lesnar’s description of the facilities. Carmel Olson told the Globe and Mail (tip via CP reader Organ Donor) that she took “real exception” to Lesnar’s third-world country remark, and suggested that maybe Lesnar freaked out a little too soon and didn’t give her staff the chance to go to work:
“The attending physician was very qualified and very respected,” she said. “He’s been in the business for more than 30 years. And he has the skills to diagnose a condition such as diverticulitis without a CT scan. …We have checked this particular health record and we are quite confident that the correct diagnosis was given and the best course of treatment offered. We have state-of-art equipment here. We are hardly a one-horse operation.”
Lesnar wasn’t satisfied. He checked himself out and had his wife drive him back to the U.S. in what he describes as a harrowing 100 mph drive that “saved [his] life.” Olson suggested maybe he had another reason for fleeing in her parting shot, adding, “maybe he didn’t like the bill.”
It’s hardly surprising that the Canadians didn’t take kindly to having their hospital bashed in the media but one of the UFC’s biggest stars, but you’d almost think they’d be used to stuff like that from brash Americans. It seems that where Lesnar really ticked them off was in explaining that the only reason he was even talking about it was to make a point to Americans at a time of intense debate over the future of our health care system.
Olson didn’t refute Lesnar’s claim that the Mayo Clinic was superior to the hospital in Brandon – after all, one of those places is world famous and one isn’t – but she added, “I really take exception to someone giving us that kind of media coverage for their own political reasons.”

Americas health care administration is considered barbaric by the rest of the civilized world, and for good reason. Fuck a bunch of capitalism run amuck.
@Big Jumpin Dad - Good call. If it comes to that, follow through. I believe most everyone would prefer it that way as well.
Hi, I'm a Nigerian prince who recently came to murica to study and practice medicine. If you double mortgage your house and pay me all of your money I promise in return that you'll receive the best and brightest drug prescriptions the murican health care system has to offer.
He was a foreigner in a foreign land...so like anywhere else, he (or his insurance) would have had to pay for the health care.
Not to mention how many Bankruptcies are directly related to medical costs (most of those people have insurance and are under-insured or reached their CAP)
Make sure you get your facts in alignment with reality before you VOTE...
Umm... I'm pretty sure the Mayo clinic isn't fucking free. I don't think Lesnar cares too much about the bill from a hospital that doesn't even have a working CT scanner.
free health care... pft
You get what you pay for; always. Nothing begets nothing. Remember that voters.
Not True, anymore . . . Brock turned it into one by pushing his GOP agenda rants in opening up his fat mouth. Then you have Butterbean(DANA) condoning these acts at Brock's side.
MEDICARE IS SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE!! We should do away with the care to the old people???
Probably Not, Dummies!
Then it took some stone age, medicine man in the remote wilderness of a Province in Canada almost the size of the United States itself, a few tosses of the bones and only one slaughtered chicken to correctly diagnose his condition...
Apparently he did not like to hear their mystical prognosis about how he was about to Die so they had to do some surgery on him...
So he fled back to the US.. where the Doctors confirmed the Canadian Witch Doctors chantings.. and told him the same thing so he got another opinion from a Doctor that told him if in 8 hours he was not better they HAD to do Surgery... It did not happen because Baby Jesus blessed Brocks fetid shit canal ...
Not because the US health care system is so AWESOME!...
I wonder how Brock would of been treated in some of the most desolate, or poor regions of this very country... hmmmm
You're a fuckin' idiot. French Canadians are a small part of Canada, aka Quebec, and "aboot" is a term used to take light of ALL OTHER Canadians and their quirky accent. Has nothing to do with the Frenchies. Learn before you speak.
your health care bill is effectively dead, the republican in mass. won....no more 60 votes..
End of story........
The way i see it , Swede is a Douche......if you dont like whats here then go to your other favorite site dirtychocolatemanstarfish.com or something like that im sure..
and third, fuck brock and his opinions
and fourth its not that we dont want better health care...... its that it should be done right, not drafted by some stupidass fucknut in 2 days then rammed up our asses as soon as they can rally there troops to vote on it...
the govt couldnt turn a profit on the mustang ranch brothel it had to take over by law in 1992 because they got busted for tax evasion...
under govt operating it they actually lost money.....who the fuck cant make money selling pussy and beer??????
now do you see what we are saying..if they can't make a profit on the oldest profession in the history of the world, how the fuck can they draft a health bill in a few days or weeks and make it work for us without being fucked up...
what did i miss??? .... .... .... oh yea , fuck you swede you douche....did i say that already??
