@bradenmannsyyc: Waiting for an appointment with a specialist? It sure can take some time, depending on where you live, who you are referred to, and what relationships your family physician has (or does not have) with their specialist colleagues. But there are solutions - learn about the problem, and the solutions on my Substack, link in bio #canadahealthcare #specialistcare #ontariohealth #ontario
Why are they referring to a specific doctor instead of a specialist type and have a queue…

This is so timely. My mom is waiting on a specialist appointment (she’s having a very hard time swallowing food), and the only info she has is that it could be 90 days or more until she receives an update. It’s really sad for me to hear her frustration because she’s such a positive person, but is obviously really struggling with the lack of clarity on when she will get help. ☹️Thank you for creating these videos ❤️

10 months to see a gynaecologist, granted it’s not critical, so I am ok to wait. I know there are women with more immediate needs.

Why are GPs so eager to refer? Is it because it's actually needed? Or the patient is insisting because they don't trust their doctors?

Alberta doctors get people to fill out forms to be accepted by the doctor then refuse you care … that’s Alberta healthcare pushing people into walk-ins because of how doctors choose to be paid and can reject complex care patients

Sounds like greed. If your waitlist is so long give it to your colleague if you care so much about patients?

I have never waited more than 3 months and that was for something non urgent.
