COLUMN: How long have you waited for a family physician?
I recently received one of the most exciting emails of my life, which informed me I would soon have a family physician. It felt like I had won the lottery.
If someone had told me 10 or 15 years ago just how sweet my excitement would be at securing a family doctor, I doubt I would have believed them. But here I am, exceedingly grateful to be able to wait in the big room for a while, and then wait some more in the little room so I can speak with my doctor.
How long before our political leaders are able to figure out a solution? Perhaps a streamlined accreditation process for immigrants to Canada with medical degrees we do not recognize. Just think how many potential doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers are employed outside of their profession, when they could be seeing patients.
