We spent most of our days in Canada without a Family Doctor.
Everyone knows that Medicare is free up there.
Well, not really “free”.
I believe it’s being taken somewhere from the 900% tax we got.

Now, We did try to have a family Doctor.
Especially after Tyler was born.
And tried we did.

Not one Doctor was taking any patients.

The Medical shortage was taking it’s toll.

We were told to check this website – CPSO
And look for a Physician.
So we did,
But even though we called each and every one of them,
The answer we got still ended up in frustration.

It’s also annoying when something happens, and you need to see a Doctor,

Either you go the the Emergency or you go to a Walk-in Clinic.
Either way, you spend a minimum of 5 hours in the waiting area.
Then when it’s finally your turn, they ask you who’s your family doctor,
And it’s like it’s your fault when you tell them you don’t have one.

Quite maddening, really.

So now we live in the States,
I am quite apprehensive on how to deal with the Medicare down here.
Even though I dislike the Canadian Health Care system,

I am still glad that I can go and get looked at
without any money in my pocket. (after hours of waiting)

So anyway, our priority for now is to get Tyler a Pediatrician,
And Tracy acquired this long list of them from the phone book.
Called the very first one Doctor closest to us.
And next thing you know,
We have an appointment on Tuesday.

That easy.

Last thing I heard.
Both Canada and the U.S. are both in Medical shortage.
Except one is doing something about it.

I don’t know.
Maybe it’s just me.
