The percentage of patients waiting longer than the maximum times advised by the JCCO had increased from 32% in 1998 to 72% in 2003 for radical treatments, from 25 to 60% for palliative treatments, and from 39 to 62% for adjuvant treatments.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-30845081221601322792009-06-16T02:09:47.477-04:002009-06-16T02:09:47.477-04:00AND illegals SHOULD get healtcare on our dime as t...AND illegals SHOULD get healtcare on our dime as they take our jobs and don't pay their way.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.com
