(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.”

You mean Lesnar decided to stretch the truth for political reasons? That never happens, I'm stunned.

Fri, 01/22/10 - 08:55
It is most probable that Lesnar highlighted the "deficiencies" of that particular facility because he is self-proclaimed, "Conservative Republican." But, really, who the fuck cares? This is an MMA site, not a political forum.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 08:55
this lady is an idiot. And that is coming from a Canadian. If they are operating a hospital without a basic diagnostic imaging machine like a CT scan then they are working in the stone ages and should be ashamed. Obviously she is totally retarded thinking Lesnar didn't like the bill when a procedure that costs $1000 in Canada would cost $15000 in the states and he rushed home to get a second opinion from someone who actually had a working CT scan, regardless of if you can diagnose it without a CT scan if you were facing a career ending surgery wouldn't you want to be 100% sure it was required. stupid bitch
Fri, 01/22/10 - 08:56
Here we go again.... socialized Health care is the most amazing thing in the world. Right CP? RIGHT?!?!?!? You need to change this to a MMA / Political website. And while you are at it why don't you add some "Donate to the Obama cause" links here as well? I don't want to pay for all the unemployed bums that troll here on Cagepotato when they get carpel-tunnel syndrome from excessive tugging. I warned you yesterday Ben, I warned you good.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 08:58
p.s. often Canadian hospitals are like third world countries they don't have enough beds and people are sitting in the damn hall and being totally ignored by the sub par nurses. I was in shock when some relatives have been in the hospitals here to see the total lack of infection control the nurses 90% of the time don't even wash their hands EVER and don't wear gloves even when dressing open wounds! I really hope this leads to an expose on the Canadian health care systems because its a disgrace. (of course that wont happen but it would be nice)
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:00
@ Swedish: Haha, you warned him? OH SHIT SON, HERE COME THE PAIN!
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:04
The point everyone seems to miss is that it's not the doctors or the equipment that make socialized medicine bad. It's the bureaucracy behind it. We will have mostly the same doctors treating us if we pass any general health legislation, it's about who pays and who gets the profit that changes.

This is what it is all ABOOT: American health care spending is tops in ranking yet you have one of the lowest amount of patient/doctor visits. Your health care system bankrupts families while making corporations rich. It keeps people sick and injured as a nation ON PURPOSE to make money. I have heard a lot of "I don't want to pay for bums health care..." over the last year. THAT is the #1 problem as I see it. What is the BEST way to make a country strong and resiliant to international economic downfall? You keep the people healthy and educated. The United States fails miserably in both. It takes time, as in decades. But you yanks know how to throw punches and that's what it's all about HUH?

take your socialized medicine and shove it up your ass, then go to canada wait 6 months to be seen and hopefully get it removed before you die from an infection. If you dont like your companys current coverage then change jobs , if you want the best and brightest doctors from India, Nigeria and China to continue to want to study and practice in the States then you gotta pay.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:30
So back to the point, Ms. Carmel Olson seems to be implying that the doctor did correctly diagnose it as diverticulitis, but didn’t have a working CT scanner to confirm it. When you sift through all the BS in Brock’s rant, the only specific thing he said was exactly that… their scanner wasn’t working, so he got in the truck and fucked off. He never said they misdiagnosed him. Other than than that he was just vaguely talking shit.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:32
@ RodP1975: "... if you want the best and brightest doctors from India, Nigeria and China ..." That's a good thing?

Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:35
People seem to be missing something here, the Canadian health care system is not great, not by a long shot, but it also isn't reserved for the upper class folks who can afford it. The biggest real drawback to our system here is incredible wait times for procedures. I personally waited almost 5 months for a MRI, and another 14 months to meet a spine surgeon. But the equipment and staffing is here. Besides missing that she stated having diagnostic equipment that the attending doctor didn't see necessity in using, newdeal must be referring to veterinarians in his second post. Sanitary regulation is as strict here as it is anywhere else, including wash stations and masks in health care facilities.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:38
You have a problem with an Indian treating you if he/she is the most qualified? I think its pretty obvious that its a good thing.

"This is an MMA site, not a political forum." And Brock Lesnar is an MMA fighter. Who happens to be the UFC's Heavyweight champion. Who happenned to have a medical condition that almost ruined his career. Who happenned to make this a political issue. Which is why it is being covered on an MMA website.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 09:41

Is anyone in this thread even Canadian? How can you make these calls about a system you don't understand? If the American health system is so great, why was the movie "sicko" made? Have you seen that documentary about the joke that your American system is? Americans try to goto Cuba of all places to get help. Now thats just plain fricked in the head.

@newdeal Not sure who is more of an idiot, the doctor, or your ability to read. She said the doctor on site had enough experience to diagnose Lesnar WITHOUT a CTscan. Nowhere does it say that they dont even have that machine onsite..... And i think her 'didnt like the bill' comment was a stab back at the American health care system. Reading, and reading between the lines are not your strong suit
Fri, 01/22/10 - 10:29
Newdeal: Learn to READ. Not one article has said that the hospital didn't have a CT scanner. Lesnar REFUSED a CT scan earlier. That's it. Olson said they could diagnose without one, which is consistent with his previous wishes. I do not understand where people get their info. Wait times are an issue in Canada. As with everywhere in the world. But if you want to PAY in Canada, you have private opportunities, as you do ANYWHERE in the world. But good luck with that: "Medical problems caused 62% of all personal bankruptcies filed in the U.S. in 2007, according to a study by Harvard researchers. And in a finding that surprised even the researchers, 78% of those filers had medical insurance at the start of their illness, including 60.3% who had private coverage, not Medicare or Medicaid." Newdeal, being Canadian, you're entitled to have you're mental retardation checked out, free of charge. Sure some hospital in hunting haven Manitoba is not going to be home of premiere healthcare. But if he were in any MAJOR city in Canada he would be amongst many of the finest doctors in the world.

Fri, 01/22/10 - 10:38
The most important thing I've gotten from all this is that Canadians are great. Before all these Brock lesnar health care articles I used to think Canada and Canadians suck, but after reading their well informed, well spoken, and often times funny comments, I've come to realize how completely wrong I was (although I still wouldn't wanna live there. Its cold up there, you guys.) I'm sorry that I let my hatred for GSP effect my feelings for the country as a whole. And thank you CP for bringing the important issues to the forefront and not being afraid to tell sweedouche what's up.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 10:45
I'm all for socialized health care because i thnink that means i'd have healthcare, socialized police force/justice system and fire deptartment is what needs to go if people want to be protected or have there house or lives saved from fire or gun weilding hoodlums they can get a job and fucking pay for it.

Fri, 01/22/10 - 10:56
@wrye bash Its a mixture of things really. Mostly cuz he beat mayhem and BJ. BJ's like my 3rd favorite lightweight and come on, who doesn't love mayhem. I know he's one of the best in the world and those aren't solid reasons, but I don't like him and you can't make me.

Technoviking - great post/retort to Newdeal's nonsense. Newdeal - you give retards a bad name. I don't know what crappy, little regional clinic you attended but here in Vancouver (like ALL of the major metropolitan centres in our great nation) we have MULTIPLE high-tech, world-class hospitals, eg/ Vancouver Hosp, Children's Hosp, Women's Hosp, St. Paul's General, the BC Cancer Agency, etc., etc. Here's an analogy you may understand: Brock goes to Gimli, Manitoba and goes to the best hotel in town. It's not great. He looks at his wife and she says "let's get outta here". They drive to a larger US city and check into the Four Seasons. Brock, using his own peculiar brand of logic, concludes: Hotels in Canada suck. They are, like, 3rd world. Brock Lesnar - easy on the smart. BTW, Agent Smith, there is a fairly large French Canadian population outside of Quebec, in Manitoba. Les Manitobains in St. Boniface. (BTW, not taking a shot, just thought I'd throw it out there...)
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:08
I live in Canada, in British Columbia actually. I recently met with my Dr to schedule a surgery for an inguinal hernia repair. I was able to get in to see my Dr, who then contacted my local hospital (I live in a town of 15-20,000 but we have a relatively decent hospital here because it serves a lot of outlying areas). The hospital offered me a surgery date in March, which I could not afford to wait for so I scheduled a consultation with a different doctor. She checked me out, and asked me when I wanted the surgery, I said ideally within the month (this was January 5th or so). She called me back in 2 weeks saying I could get in on tuesday the 19th. On monday I went up to the hospital, had my consultation with the head nurse, and on tuesday morning I went back up to the hospital, was in the OR within about 45 mins, and then back home about 2 hours later. Everyone did an excellent job and was very nice. Total cost? $5.00 for 3 dozen Tylenol 3's. Oh, and a $9.00 processing fee I think from Shoppers Drug Mart. The canadian system isnt perfect, a lot of that is due to our inabilty to pay Dr's salaries as high as some PRIVATIZED HEALTH CARE countries can pay them so they leave here for there. If you don't make enough money to pay for health care in Canada, the government will subsidize it for you. If you DO make enough to pay for it (its a graduated pay scale) then you pay for it. But when you go the hospital you never have to worry about the bills. You only pay if you make enough . If you don't make enough, you dont pay, but you still get the care. Its just not as fast as the Privatized elitist systems. If you have a problem paying for other people's medical (the most you ever would pay in Canada is about $100 a month without subsidy) which means you obviously make enough that the Canadian Gov't would have to charge you the full 100%, you and me are probably not going to be friends. I gladly pay my relatively small monthly contribution, not only because then I can get the care that I need when I need it no questions asked, but because it helps other people in this country that maybe can't afford it get the care that they need as well. It even helps people from OTHER COUNTRIES get affordable care should they need it in Canada. My 2 cents. I'm not really doin much but sitting here on the couch watching movies, eating T3s.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:12
If you read Swedish's comments with a Cartman voice you can't even get mad.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:14
Wasn't Brock in Canada because his US doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with him? He was diagnosed with Mono and Swine Flu. Not a ringing endorsement of the US system. You know, the one a lot of American's can't access because of money.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:14
You're sick and poor in Canada...you'll be fixed properly. You're sick and poor in USA...you'll die or your whole familly will go broke trying to fix you. Which is closest to a third world country MR Brock ?? US system is good for the rich and young people...but we're all be old someday, right ?

I'm from Canada. My sister has cerebral palsy...she had 17 major surgeries so far. We're talking about spine surgery, various bones surgeries etc. Last one she was on the surgeon table for 32 hours. I can proudly say that the health system in Canada IS awesome. Not perfect because it's overloaded but besides some big waiting lists it is usually very good. Everything steampunk said is right. This is like a big business...The more you grow the less you spend on equipment. Here a scan machine will be used 24/24 all year long while a little clinic in US will have one but will rarely use it....which raise the overall cost of healthcare. As a whole the canadian system is great....I'ld just ask for 10$ / visit so the old lonely guys wouldn't ends up at the hospital for the fun of seing other old farts.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:27
OK, back on the health care debate? I might weigh in on that later, but there's a reality we all must face up to first: How did everybody overlook the (alleged) fact the Brock Lesnar made that obtuse commentary to forward a political agenda? Not fucking likely, I say. Somebody smarter than him, like my 4 year old son, told him to say that in order to alleviate some of the shit he's taking in the media. There have been some funny comments here, and surprisingly none of them came from Swede. I think Swede might be related to UFC Fan in some way. Anyways, I'll take my socialized health care every day of the week. That's all there is to it. I'm used to getting my balls taxed off, and those taxes pay for the healthcare. At least this way we can see our tax dollars going to work on something tangible. As far as freeloaders gumming up the system - whatthefuck, dude. Do you think the welfare dollars they're getting are falling from the sky? Newsflash - that's tax money too. Something to think about there, no? Point being, there's freeloaders all the time, everywhere, so getting your panties in a knot over freeloaders as they relate to health care is a wasted effort. If you don't want the free care, remember all your illuminating points and authorities when you come to Canada, get all drunk and fuck yourself up medically in a car accident or you shoot your foot off in a hunting trip or whatever. At that point you can get the fuck out, since our doctors will probably kill you anyway. Go all the way back to Texas or Montana or wherever you came from since our health care is so bad and our nurses are reusing the same needle all day long and shit. Then, in 80 years when you've finished paying off that medical debt, you can come back. I'm sure it'll be much warmer up here by then, due to global warming and all.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:29
@ iDestroy The North thanks you for your change of view. We look forward to your continued support of our issues. You know, it's not really that cold though. Just this morning I was standing in the parking lot sipping coffee while the sled dogs ran around the block to get warmed up and it was only -7 celcius. You grow a second skin up here and aside from the odd Frenchman or Ukrainian we are mostly Irish folk...so by the time the summer comes, its too freakin hot and we get sun-burnt. I really can't imagine living in the US with a year-long sunburn...and I don't think I could afford medicare if I ever developed skin cancer.

Vader>> it's completely believable that Brock made a political statement. You see, conservative Republicans are being told that questioning the government and challenging thse in office is an important part of patriotism. Unfortunately, this comes from the same source that tried to muzzle any criticism of the last administration as being "unamerican". Naturally, if you questioned policies from both administrations, you're some kind of radical wing nut. Can we please stop talking politics now? Also, i thought "hoser" was an insult....
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:40
1) As an outsider to America this is what I see. Obama trying to make positive changes, The Republicans attempting to thwart Obama by using cheap tricks to influence the ignorant public. Really? Brock Lesnar, a red neck MILLIONAIRE, is the case for keeping healthcare in the US the way it is now? Seems a little bit like trying to use Sarah Palin to win the presidency. 2) Brandon, Manitoba is a town with the population of 39,000 people. The Mayo clinic is one of the worlds premier medical centers. That is like comparing Fedor to the contestants on this years TUF and saying every heavyweight in the UFC is significantly worse than all heavyweights in Strikeforce. Enough said?
Fri, 01/22/10 - 11:40
I live in Manitoba, and I have also lived in the states. I can confidently say that the health care here kicks anything the US health care has back to the stone ages. Brock is a moron and he is using his bad experience to get publicity.

Agree w/ iDestroy--some of us are just not prepared for cold. I was born in North Carolina, i've lived in several southern states, was stationed in Arizona, and i have no problem with 100 degree heat. But Kansas cold is enough for me. If it's below freezing, i really want slopes and snow to be involved.

I work and am able to pay for Health Insurance in the US. I had to get surgery like 6 months ago and I only payed about 300 bucks for a 16 grand operation. I had surgery one week after I went to the ER and it would have been sooner If I wasnt so swollen. I call that pretty fucking good health care. Yea If I didnt work I would be screwed, but thats why you get off your ass and get a job. For people that get layed off though, thats a whole other thing because they would be fucked. And isnt this why Obama is trying to pass the Health care bill, yet half this fucking country are complete retards and dont want it passed. Oh yeah, and FUCK YOU SWEDISH. I wouldn't mind stomping that little pussy bitch at all.

ha ha. Let's quit beating around the bush. No more politics, no more Rep Vs Dem, no more socialized health care or the charming little differences in how Canadians pronounce the word 'about' and how the rest of the world pronounces it incorrectly. This is about bashing Brock Lesnar, and the hope that somebody, ANYBODY, comes along and smashes a size-22 boot right into his giant mouth and shuts him up forever. Once it's determined that he will never wake from the coma we Canadians (who are not eempress wid is performans) will take him up north, and I mean waaaay up north, and dump his body into a glacier fissure where he can remain until the end of days. HA! And my wife says I can't communicate my feelings.

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??

@ Casa de los pan: 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.

Funny how TWO doctors in the US with all its fancy toy's failed to correctly diagnose Brock when his illness was still early (read- much easier to treat effectively with out miracles from Baby Jesus) 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
Fri, 01/22/10 - 01:53
This is an MMA site and not a political forum??? 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!

“maybe he didn’t like the bill.” 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.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 02:12
We currently pay way more per person on Health Care then anyone else on Earth... yet we linger in the high teens, low 20's for quality and value on world rankings... 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...
Fri, 01/22/10 - 02:30
You get what you pay for? Ever heard of RED cameras? 1000X the quality for a fraction of the price.

My favorite is the dude who said something like "none of you are Canadian", ha ha ha for a while I thought this site was exclusively for the Canucks and I had somehow slipped through security. So no one has addressed how the hospital Admin said maybe Brock didn't like the bill. Is this an indicator that the system is pretty much the same up there or was she making a joke about Brock's finances?

Dammit Deadpanda!
Fri, 01/22/10 - 03:05
@ ghostboner 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.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 04:05
im canadian and as a matter of fact a manitoban, just 6 hours away from brandon, in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Were a mining town that is famous for our underground medical marijuana growing operation and if you dont smoke weed here youre a minority. But besides that id rather die waiting for a half ass surgurey in canada than to be saved in ultra suave fashion and record breaking time in america and be stuck with a 250 000 dollar bill

"... if you want the best and brightest doctors from India, Nigeria and China to continue to want to study and practice in the States then you gotta pay." 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.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 05:16
@GetUpAndKill - Maybe that is how it works in other countries, but if you happen to be a foreigner here in Murrica, even one who is here illegally, you can still get emergency health care and your insurance will not be required to pay, nor will you if you happen not to have any. I'm not saying it's free, because someone will definitely pay for it, just not said foreigner in foreign land. @Big Jumpin Dad - Good call. If it comes to that, follow through. I believe most everyone would prefer it that way as well.
Fri, 01/22/10 - 05:21
@robthom - Oh no I'm not falling for that one again. I've been swindles by a nigerian before. My healthcare is going to be taken care of by the large sum of money coming to me from a nice English lady who won a lotto and needs me to help her collect her winnings.

After getting a bellyful of anecdotal stories about the horrors of Canadian health care I went to the CIA website to compare what I think are the two most basic measures of the general health of a countries population:infant mortality and lifespan. Guess what? Canadians live longer on average, and fewer of their babies die. 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.

All of my political opinions are based on what Brock Lesnar says.

@GhostBoner Yeah youre boners sure a ghost alright, a ghostly image of a 13 inch monster cock. Its too big for youre body. Youre just all around Masculine , handsome and also healthy. Never change:) From youre dearest friend Big Jumpin Dad

I hope that a Sasquatch beats the shit out of Lesner for his remarks against Canada. Sasquatch's are violent patriotic beasts.....
Sat, 01/23/10 - 12:18
Like the US , there are many different Clinics and Hospitals. If you saw the movie Doc Hollywood you might know what a Brandon Manitoba Clinic is like. Remember he was Hunting. You don't hunt Downtown. You Hunt in the bush . Canada has many world class Hospitals and Doctors and the bashing of one doesn't mean the rest are like that. Should have given him a can of Coke seemed to work in the movie. I just hope Brock gets better and we see him soon. Here is a little joke about Hunters for you. " Why do women love Hunters" Because they go deep into the bush, they always shoot twice , and they eat what they shoot. Good luck Brock keep kicking ass .
