Figure. In the past 8 years, Ursula Gort, 74, of Toronto, has had 2 hip replacements and a right shoulder replacement. She waited only 3 months for the hip replacements in 1996 and 2003 but the shoulder was another story. The waiting list was 8 months. “The pain was horrible,” she says. “It was a constant nagging pain.” She finally had the operation in March. Photo by: P. Comeau
