Unfort...I am so sorry you have had bad experiences. Unfortunately, it's a money making business and has nothing to do with caring for people. They will only schedule time for one thing and expect you to come back for anything that is over and above what they have allocated time for. That way they get paid two office visits rather than one. You have to persevere if you think something isn't right. I'm thinking of you.<br />As for the system in Canada, be careful what you wish for. I grew up in England and with socialized medicine you have to fight even harder. There is no monetary incentive for them to take care of you. Be prepared to wait for 6months to a year for needed surgery.<br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825642256924571041.post-39084548249975045672010-09-04T10:52:52.771-04:002010-09-04T10:52:52.771-04:00Jen, can you send me your e-mail address?

I just got worse and worse until someone took the time to care. And KAren, I was thinking that same thing. Might be time to find a new dr. We both go to the same practice and its good to know I am not alone in my feelings! They are just too big I think and easy to get lost in the shuffle. Its great to be able to get an appt if you need it quickly but I guess it really isnt that great if the care you are getting makes you never want to go there and as bitter as I am...right?!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263019567597636980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825642256924571041.post-8134407415749570292010-09-03T21:20:37.699-04:002010-09-03T21:20:37.699-04:00Like Ron, with whom I've never met, know what ...Like Ron, with whom I've never met, know what Jen is talking about. I too was around when things were happening. Isn't it sad how we are supposed to trust and like physicans and feel comfortable that they are going to help us and care about us, yet most of us don't. It seems over the years we are all becoming "numbers" and are no longer patients to our doctors, sad but true. And I hope that not all doctors are like this and that someone out there doesn't feel this way. I'm beginning to wonder myself if it's time to find a new doctor. Maybe one that's not part of a big group. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe if you find a doctor that only has one, maybe two other doctors in the group treatment would be better. Hmmm, something to think about. In any event, good luck with "how do you say"....your appointment!

I actually experienced all of this with her and it is true. I would not have faith if I was told all that negative stuff either. Well, this time the stakes are not as high and you can get an answer for this one.

I hope it all goes well for you though!Debbi Does Dinner Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091564423796146580noreply@blogger.com
