Surgery on hold for accounting reasons: doctor
This is simply stunning. A Canadian hospital has placed a moratorium on all joint replacement surgeries for the next six weeks because they've overspent their prostheses budget? They're going to force people to suffer unnecessarily over a budget shortfall? Granted, people don't usually die from not having a joint replaced right away, but come on. It's debilitating and excruciatingly painful. What they don't spend on prostheses, they'll spend on drugs and lost productivity.

Hey Canada - come to Baltimore!! We can fit you in tomorrow.
