Canada does need more doctors but I can truly say,, even living in a rural area I can see a nurse practioner the same day I call. Often they can help me or direct me for immediate doctor or specialist.

It is nice to walk in and not get a bill. Just show my health card. I Am thankful to live in Canada.

I saw my doctor a couple years ago for my eye and was sent to an eye surgeon the same day and got the surgery on an out patient basis in the hospital. I had a detached retina.
