As the Ontario Medical Association continues to sound the alarm over a family doctor shortage, one doctor said a move toward American-style health care is ‘happening already.’

In the 58 years I’ve lived here, I have never waited more than a few hours to see a doctor, never more than a couple of days to see my doctor, and never more than a month to see a specialist.
Im sceptical of the people claiming that “several months” is a common experience.
Our local Health System UF told me that the first available PCP appointment for a new patient was on November 11th and I called on May 1st. They then called me on November 8th to tell me they were double booked and the next available was January. I told them some inpolite words.
But you know the solution? I just went to a different doctor. Was seen in less than a week.
Same.
