State run "universal healthcare" ignored her concerns, sticking to their books and percentages probably due to her age and not wanting to waste valuable state resources so they gaslight her. A cautionary tale to people to NOT ignore what your body is telling you.
Canadian healthcare is worse I imagine, provided often exclusively to only the "chosen ones", which is why so many Canadians head to the U.S for proper treatment though only those born into the upper caste are able to pay for it. Those of us trying to get the hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity out of our home are constructively advised "you are in the lower caste, this is not for you!"
I don't know who this woman is but she has a following in the sports world. In her own words she tried to get help but the stretched, incompetent doctors dismissed her fears. She's an athlete, she knows her body, as do all athletes. These doctors violated their hippocratic oath in my opinion.
She lost valuable time which might have made a difference. Americans better understand what central controls in a system means for society.
RIP

O'Connor added that doctors refused to take her concerns "seriously."
In a January Instagram post, O'Connor revealed that she had learned of her cancer diagnosis. She said she suffered through debilitating pain for weeks leading up to the diagnosis.
"For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong," O'Connor captioned a photo of her in a hospital bed.
"I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did."
"But not one doctor f---ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony," the Instagram post continued. "Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread."
In February, O'Connor spoke out about another devastating personal circumstance.
"The last few months have been a rollercoaster," O’Connor wrote. "I’ve been pregnant with a beautiful baby, suffered a miscarriage, then got diagnosed with ‘incurable’ cancer. But I still feel on top of the world!"
More recently, O'Connor celebrated a milestone. She announced that she had "married that love of" her life on May 9.
