I live in Canada and yeah we have decent healthcare. It's not as free as they'd have you think.. this MSP [medical services plan] sucks. It's kinda like how education is free from grades k-12 [here's a list of supplies you need to buy]. Granted it's not too expensive... but they do base how much you pay based on your income. Which is stupid, they should make it the same for everyone. There's a message about equality somewhere in there.

I just wonder why dental care isn't included. There's an old saying, "healthy mouth, healthy body". I'm not expecting anything cosmetic but the regular bits should be covered - cleanings, checkups, etc etc.

Sucks about your toe, sucks about the "health care system" - seems like there isn't much of one. Health care insurance is IMO a money-making sham. Health care is a basic need, and should be provided for everyone just as food, water and shelter is offered to people in need.

Dropped a desk on my big toe and I can understand how bad the pain you must be feeling.

Lost the nail and destroyed the nail matrix.  I had to have surgery on it to repair the matrix as the nail went bad and ingrown.

Hope you get some time to get your toe looked at.  My uncle had a similar injury and he lost a few of his toes to infection.

No point messing around with something your whole body weight is on for the rest of your life.

Oh BTW if you were wearing sneakers at the time - the odds of the same damage happening would be the same.

If I was wearing sneakers I'd have been fine.  It might have hurt, maybe not.  Seriously, the board dropped about one foot.  I'm not talking steel-toe.  Regular shoes would have saved me.  Stupid.

My guess is that that comment is aimed at Chad, but to respond anyway, MDF is a material.
