Here in Ontario, cataract surgery is considered a ‘medically-necessary’ operation. However, in some cases, lengthy wait times are pushing patients to seek surgical options at private clinics. Today, we are hearing from some of those patients who picked the private healthcare gameplan, and it’s not good news. They allege that some clinics tried to upsell them on surgery prices and assessments. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Natalie Mehra, the Executive Director of the Ontario Health Coalition. They are an advocacy group that focuses on protecting public healthcare across the province. Meantime, we’ve been hyping up Kristy’s Summer Job Centre religiously over the past week, and Opening Day has finally arrived! Well, with a few snags, to be fully-transparent. If you keep getting rejected for Summer gigs, or none are popping up in your area, what should you do? We gather some helpful tips from Sabrina McTaggart, a career coach at Sabrina McTaggart’s Career Coaching for Young Adults.
