Does your ALS Clinic have a case manager that can help or can you access the ALS Society to have someone advocate for you. Workers Comp in Canada cannot cut you off if you are unable to work at your regular job. Your new diagnosis should also not affect your Workers Comp Claim. Your family...

Your local doctor should be able to get you an emergency neurology referral at a Canadian Hospital. Your health care provider may not pay for a US consult. I was seen within two days at neuro clinic and admitted to hospital the same day as they saw me for the urgent referral for more testing...
