This is the other Douglas. If you thought James did well wait until you hear what Tommy did in his time on earth. In his early ages he succumbed to a desease called osteomyelitis and he had to get his leg amputated. Tommy's family was then asked if he could go through treatment from a specialist for free if medical students were to watch. It was a miracle and worked he would not get his leg amputated. Tommy felt now that medical treatment should be covered and should not cost any Canadian money. Tommy was such a multitalented guy. He was a lightweight amatuer boxer in Manitoba and held the title for lightweights in 1923 (he was only 15 years old). He later then whent to study at Brandon College for sociology and then later got into politics. By him being in politics it allowed him to share his idea of medicare and change the way we look at healthcare in Canada. If it were not for his early age desease Tommy would have not been inspired to do what he did with the idea of medicare and if it were not for his amazing idea it would be impossible for some families to pay if rainy days were to come and there is no money in the bank for them to save their son or daughter. Tommy is such a proud part of Canadian history. He resembles hard work. He resembles such talent in multiple areas of work that are unmatchable. Tommy will always be praised for medicare and thanked by all the families across the country.
