At least this topic made it into the proper place on the first try

Your toe isn't healing because of either 1) bacteria, 2) fungus or 3) because you're walking on it and the cut can't properly close.

I'm betting it's bacteria. Pour peroxide on that bad boy to clean it out and then fill in the cut with neosporin. Let the peroxide do it's thing for ~ 5 minutes before putting on the neosporin. Wrap a bandaid or whatever around the cut then put tape around the bandage tight enough so that the cut doesn't open every time you take a step.

Take the bandage off and repeat those steps twice a day until it either heals or you get in to see the doctor. Wounds need to stay moist and clean to heal properly.

I'm no doctor but I think that's what you should be doing until you get in to see one.

I've officially taken care of my good dead for the month of April.

Ummm just go to a hospital and they will take care of it. You are in Canada they won't charge you! I find this whole thing hard to believe.

Now for your gammer I would suggest going for school upgrading, probably starting at grade 6.

Hospitals in Canada will cover that stuff no problem. The only issue is the waiting lines in hospitals but if you've dealt with it for a long time, waiting a few hours at the hospital isn't a big deal.

The trick is to find less popular hospitals. We have one here that we have to drive about 40 minutes to get to, but no one ever goes there so you have much lower wait times so it's worth the extra drive.

There's a joke in Japan (also socialized healthcare), goes sorta like this:

An older woman walks into her local clinic and finds a place to sit beside another older woman. They sit for a moment, then the first looks to the second and asks, "Where's Mrs. Johnson today?" The other responds, "She couldn't come to the clinic today, she's sick."

Basically, the big drawback to socialized healthcare is that everyone goes for everything and can't handle waiting in the lines when they actually need care. On the other hand, I had a Japanese roommate that flew back to Japan to have two crowns done because it was cheaper to get her plane ticket home than it was to have it done in the U.S.

If it's a minor cut, you should go with peroxide or alcohol to disinfect it. It'll heal right up

Yeah I deserved getting called out on that one!

Even if it is a minor cut tell them how long you have been dealing with it for and they will do testing for you to see why.

 I see what your problem is, you were suppose to drink the alcohol and forget about that toe until your next appointment.
