Please Canada, don’t become the US, trust us you don’t want it
when was the last time yall saw a doctor?
A what? The vast majority of Americans do not make routine office visits and rely on emergency clinics for healthcare when there is an issue
no i mean you personally, whens the last time YOU went to the doctor.
I had to visit the ER clinic down the street from where I live (there’s one on basically every corner) just a few months ago. I don’t do annual check ups even though I have health insurance from work because the copays and any procedure costs are still significant out of pocket, my deductible is over $7k USD per year and I’m not going to be spending that any time soon. Anyways the doctor that I saw did me a solid, he told me I could use some pliers at home instead of having to pay the exorbitant fees at the ER clinic, so I was able to remove the arrow from my knee all by myself.
I’ll bite, let’s see where this is going.
I went to the doctor last week.
Last time I needed to see a doctor for a non urgent matter I booked an appointment 2 weeks from the day. From there I got refered to a specialist a weeks dns ahalf later.
Why do you ask?
