A short course in brain surgery
and universal health care from our friends in Canada.
Can someone please tell me how waiting 8 months to diagnose and treat a Type 2 brain tumor is superior to 6 weeks? I'll wait...

The difference is life or death.
The level of malignancy of a brain tumor cannot be diagnosed until surgery.
A level 4 malignancy could kill the patient in six months.
If the tumor is not removed promptly, the diagnosis would be made by the Coroner during the autopsy.
A Level 4 Cancer Survivor.

So do you think it would be preferable to wait 8 months (as opposed to 6 weeks) for an appointment to get a diagnosis?
