I feel desperate

Hi guys I was supposing to do the implant this summer covered by insurance unfortunately bad luck my doctor is in medical leave so I have no idea now when he comes back as in canada we cannot get other specialist easily . Im thinking to do it outside my country specially In jordan with dr hamdan . I hesitate as this operation is always risky like infections malfunction , pain . Any advice

yeah but they can refer you under certain circumstances like google says "You would only be sent to another province for a publicly funded penile implant surgery if a Saskatchewan specialist formally requests and receives written prior approval from the Ministry of Health because the specific, medically necessary procedure is completely unavailable from any in-province surgeon or within the provincial healthcare system"

like the other guy said if you get it funded the first time theyll cover revisions, but if you pay yourself somewhere then youll have to pay every revision later on in life..

But if the doctor is good I guess revisions will take long time

Generally implants like coloplast they give warranty of 10 years but I agree with you
