removable cast is not even a question of cost... you make the cast, you wait it's dry, you open it, make a comfortable shell with it and soft padding and then replace and maintain it with tape... it needs something like 1/4 a hour of work ! I also think that many doctors don't take into account SCI particularites... my boyfriend had so many trouble while beeing treated as a valid !
I don't understand why they didn't put a removable stuff, at least for the first 15 days, to let your leg go back to normal size with oedemia and let you visually check your skin. You don't walk, don't move your leg, there were no risk for the bones ! They could also have done something with a window were pressure sore can appear. I'm really sorry for you. You may have gone under bad moments with the "pain" :(
@cistters health care in Canada is `free`to us all, but they made a tier system. if you have $ you can get anything your willing to pay for. Otherwise, if your working poor, making ends meet, on assistance etc. you get the `bare bones basics`which is enough to ensure you survive (to the best of their ability to hide any mistakes made that harm you). Your ideas are so logical! my para friend broke both his ankles- they never checked for sores in 6 weeks, he has one still 6 yrs later ,surgery etc.
