@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!
