minus-squareMagister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·8 months agoI’m in QC and on the waiting list for 10 years. What is a family doctor? It’s unknown here. And even if you have one you cannot see him before 3 or 4 weeks, so you go to the ER or private doctor
minus-squareNouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoNo doctor going on 6 years. The CLSC nurses have always seen me within a week; then I get an RV with a specialist within 3 weeks. Would a doctor be nice? Yes. Does the CLSC system work for me? Also yes. I’m guessing this varies wildly based on CLSC though.
