Share Your Story
Do you have a personal health care story that you would like to share? Your story could be included in Janet's academic work about what ordinary Canadians are doing to get healthcare. Her work features real life experiences of Canadians who have trouble getting the health care they need.
Sharing your story will:
• help others in similar situations
• contribute to current information
• add to a broader more accurate discussion of health care
• play a role in promoting positive change in our health care system.
Janet is currently looking for stories that fall into the following categories:
Stories about waiting
Are you waiting an unreasonable amount of time for health care? What kind of medical services are you waiting for? How is it affecting your life? Has your life stopped? What are the effects on you, your life’s work or responsibilities, your health, and your happiness?
Stories about finding your own solution
How did you find your own solution to your health problem? What was your experience? How would you advise others who are waiting? How would you advise our health care planners?
Stories called "Thank heavens I knew someone"
Were you able to get health care because you knew someone? These stories are becoming a widespread phenomenon, and Janet wants to document them. Real names will not be used.
