        Friday, October the XXrd, 1998, I visited the health services
at McGill University since I was not feeling well.   I had headache,
heartache (i.e.  pains around my 
heart and feeling of somewhat shrinking (muscle ?), and I could not
eat properly.    I felt my left hand and around my heart were heavy
and just before when I visited, I could not write properly and I was
losing my mind.      That's why I visited the health services.
The receptionist asked me what was wrong with my body and they wanted
to get the answer from my mouth, but I could not say much things.
They asked me if I was sick so I said yes but not sure.   I waited
about 15 minutes for nurse.   A nurse asked me what's wrong and she
took my pulse and blood pressure.     She diagonosed as high pressure
but she told me not to worry about it.   She told me probably
everything was stress and the best thing was to leave as it was.   She
told me to get the appointment with the doctor to get 
checked everything if anything is wrong with the body itself.   I
decided to take the appointment.   The receptionist told me I had to
wait for two weeks.   I was surprised.   I asked... just to see a
doctor for any reasons (not only my case)... have to wait for two
weeks ?     I did not understand it.      I told other hospitals would
have much shorter waiting period to get something checked... 
in fact I had my aviation medical exam... to get checked out
everything within a day at Groupe Sante Medisys (I am not advertising
their service.  I just wanted to make a clear fact).    When I told
them [McGill health services], they told me that I had to wait for
more than 2 months for any hospitals or services around and here, 
McGill health services would provide the best service in Canada:
Obviously they [receptionists] were very bad (or actually good ?)
liers and they had no clue whatsoever they were talking about.
At this time when I am composing this message, I haven't eaten or
drunk anything for more than two days -- more than 50 hours.
Probably 
when you see this message, the hours will be much more.    I was
trying to get help.  I couldn't.     I worry about other students.
When they are really sick, falling 
down on the street (a little exaggerating but still good way to
illustrate how bad the health service operates), trying to get the
services from university's health 
services that they are "paying" for.    Getting the treatment after
two weeks is basically useless for most of the people (who actually
"extends" the sickness for two 
weeks ??).       Probably I could not write anything clear here since
I would not be able to think properly right now.  The point I wanted
to make before I die:   Get 
out from the business if you can't provide it. The students are forced
to pay for the services that services never exist.    I have a strong
pain or dizziness in my head, 
chest, all over my bodies.  I feel my muscle near the throat is very
tight and I don't feel hungry.   I was trying to get help.  I
couldn't.   (something to put aside:   I also 
met academic councellor and mental councelling service personnel but
they could not help me.   My parents are paying for them.   I am
paying for them.  We are 
forced to pay for them.     I really feel very sorry for my parents.)
I wouldn't dial 911 since this would not fall category of real
"emergency."      I tried mybest to solve this.  I couldn't --  and
don't forget thousands of other students.     Thank you for inviting
unnecessary emergencies when everything is too late.  Thank you 
very much.  We appreciate paying for the services by force.  Thanks a
lot.
