Giving birth in Canada without provincial healthcare coverage (NOT BIRTH TOURISM)

[moving24]

The doctor at the hospital in Calgary wants cash when I was pain a in labor. ( won't take my debit/ credit cards) It's ridiculous. It's like a grocery market. My husband has to drive to the bank to get cash for him when i was in labor pain. And he almost missed the birth. Just so you know they will treat you differently.

Thanknyou for the note, I will be pepared with that then. This is extremely helpful.

More than likely that Dr has been stiffed for payment in the past .
You know person in labour , says they’ll pay after the birth and they don’t . Ridiculous, but probably true
