B.C. hunter passed away weeks after rescuing himself from the jaws of a grizzly bear

I bet a handgun would have worked better than punching a bear.

Phuck Yea ! Even a 22 LR !

Relax… it was simply a commentary on the sad state of our healthcare and if this was in fact the case certainly would not be surprising . It is rare though that someone dies of a blot clot while in hospital care …

And as someone who has a huge hematoma in the knee cap area and was given morphine, then hydromorphone to tough it out for weeks, a failed drainage with a needle and failed freezing of the area before the needle attempt(granted a gp in another office failed also but at least he succeeded with the freezing). Just beginning to walk after 11 days. Saw a dr twice and now no more availability I have to say some truth here. .
My knee blew up literally like a balloon because of bleeding and blood thinners and in the ER they parked me for 3 hours and after that the male in training shoeed up in the ER yawning, stretching, looking around. Hour later 2 of them showed up where I was.

The man did have a gun, I assume a bolt action rifle. If it had been a semi auto, he might have gotten a second and even a third shot in and stopped the whole attack. But of course no one but a policeman or soldier needs a gun in Canada in the first place.
