at becky – icon not working …thank you, have been on list for a new fam dr where I live since Sept. 2019, about 400 of us in this 54,000 small city and outskirts; even been on waiting list for nurse prac., but still waiting. The drs at walk-in clinic/phone have been good, its just I have to get copies of everything such as blood tests and such to show a doctor at emerge; or specialist, and I have papers and files all over….. had I known this would happen I would not have left my last doctor of 20 yrs but he was getting sloppy and gave me antibiotic without proper testing and i got P.N. thing is he looked it up in his big black b ook (a book!!) and said: side effects headache and nausea…whereas there were 3 pages of notes with meds from pharmacy so we had a chat and i decided to try new dr… and he left town. Thank you so much for caring. J

@lacy2 - I have wanted to move out of Toronto, but it’s stories like yours that keep me rooted here! It’s bad enough here, finding a family physician who takes in new patients, but outside the city it is way worse! And you need a family physician first, before you can be referred to a specialist - another needle in the medical haystack!

You have my sympathy! If you ever need to see a doctor in Toronto, you are welcome to stay at our home (if we are still living here, lol - we are still considering a move) before and after your appointments!
