Urgent! What can I do?

smartlion(smartlion)
I am facing a very tough problem: my wife has mental disorder. She has been in hospital for more than one month, and even the doctor does not know when she can recover. Although we are permanent residents so that we can enjoy some free service, but the medicine price is very expensive. Since both my wife and I are students, I don't know if I have enough money to pay the bill.

Somebody suggests me that my wife can apply for government aid, but I do not know if such programs exist. If you know such program, would you please tell me the name of the program, and how to apply? Thanks a lot!

    • The first thing I know is keep all the receipts of your drugs. Revenue Canada will refund you drug cost if your imcome is low enough. -olivetree(Olive Tree); 2002-5-16 (#525603@0)

      • Sure. The medication you take when you are in hospital is free. And even food is free too. Nobady pays for that. I don't think he's telling the truth. -helen_han(whale); 2002-5-18 (#529127@0)

    • do you contact financial aid office in your school? they should know what kind of help you can get from government or even insurance company -mssg(mssg); 2002-5-16 (#525632@0)
    • 我觉得比较直接的办法是你去找一下你所在学校的国际学生顾问，（一般要约），然后把你的情况和问题原原本本告诉她，一般她会告诉你该找谁，怎么解决这类问题，反正医院是不会强收你费的，不象国内有些医院 -fatboy(fatboy); 2002-5-16 (#526846@0)

      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I greatly appreciate all of your help. I have asked the social worker in the hospital about financial assistance, and the social worker agreed to help me.

      Currently the toughest thing for me is that the delusion in my wife's mind still exists, even she has been in hospital for more than one month. Because she has delusion, my wife has strong hostility towards family members, including her parents, her sisters, and me.

      According to the doctor's experience, patients like her can recover within two weeks. So the doctor was also surprised. Additionally, the doctor found that my wife's psychological age is very young (teenager), so she behaves like a child. The doctor asks me to talk with my wife, but each time she can make me very angry within 30 minutes. I know that I can not argue with her, so the only way for me is to leave. Her sister was also too angry to sleep. I have endured such situation for a month. I do not know if I can endure anymore, for I will be mad in this way. Anybody can give me some advise on how to talk with my wife? Thanks.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

        1. don't talk back to your wife, always listen and be agreeable
        2. take her out to a movie, or a long walk in nice surroundings, i.e. park.
        3. Find some books about psycology, the more you know, the better you can handle the situation.

        ALl the best.
    • As I know, the tuition you paid might include medical insurance that can cover a majority of medicine expenses. You could consult the health service in your school. -diver(diver); 2002-5-17 (#528163@0)
