Stop worrying about gear-friendly, and just pray to god you can find ANY family doctor willing to take on a new patient. It's not easy here in Ontario...most doctor's have their practices filled up to full capacity and aren't willing to accept more.

Doesn't it
keep dreaming it is facking hard to find a family Doc here let alone one that is cool with the life style. Just tell him the cell tech has you so jacked 
Seriously, you might have a better chance with the kid but not much. My understanding is that new child doctors wont' take new patients so they can offload the work from the retiring doctors.The Bigdawg said:Wanna put money I have one in less then 6 months!!
I will put in a good word for ya!!!
canadianhitman said:
Well I don't really need one, hell I don't use mine here, I would just like to know there is one available should I need one.

There is a list on a web site of one's taking on new patients
where is that titanium dildo face bluepeter at now talking about the great canadian healthcare system??????
where i go to school has possibly the worst health care in the united states, barring mississippi, but you can still find an MD and get in to see people for medical procedures on a moments notice. when an MD from canada moves to arkansas to find better work, something is wrong (yes i know of someone like that).
on a more serious note.... Dawgy, best of luck getting a MD.

lol not that simple, something similar is happening here in aus - you have an ageing population meaning that workload for doctors is going up 100% (yes, really. 100%. minimum. conservatively.) and yet the intake of doctors is increased only 10 or 20% to compensate, particularly in specialist fields. why? because specialists are trained by existing specialists, who like the fact that they are booked out 24/7 with a 4 month waiting period at a cost of 300 an hour - and so the college of [insert specialty] doesnt take in enough new applicants. why? because the college is run by the same specialists. conflict of interest? yep. what can the government do about it? little. well, a lot, but because of lobbying, little.BrandonXJ said:Make more doctors.
what needs to happen is what has happened in the US with small bands of specialists making huge $ not by seeing patients, but by training other specialists.
its a huge drama, and if we dont get on top of it soo, its our parents taht are going to suffer and die prematurely, which is sad
aaaanyway, tehres my fri night rant over and done with

There IS a list at the local hospitals of those that take new patients. But go make an appointment to see one of those, and you'll realize why.
LOL I am not getting the warm fuzzies about this!
Just go to a clinic doctor again, and again.... Normally the clinic MD's don't want to work in a clinic are relatively young and open minded or old and stupid. Either way they need to keep a high volume or they can get canned as well.
As long as you don't cross any legal boundaries in their presence you shouldn't have any problems.

lol, you assmange.
You can go see a doctor whenever you want. There are clinics everywhere. Some family doctors are full up.
As for doctors moving to the States? Sure they are because of the stupid policy here that doctors can only make so much money. That causes the wait times because they can only perform so many procedures and also encourages some doctors to go elsewhere. Regardless, it's not like you can't see a doctor or can't get treatment or drugs. Perhaps I should move to a country that that has almost twice as many people as Canada's entire population without any health coverage.

What area of TO are you in? My clinic has some really good doctors and I think some are still taking patients. It's in Oakville though and I have never talked about gear with any of them. I've been meaning to try to get some HRT or something out of them. Anyone got a trick for this?
fireflyer said:
going ot be in East York but I don't care about driving if it means to have a good Dr.
I need to find one ASAP when I get there as I have a medical issue that can't be put off.
I have just mentioned my gear use to my Dr. and then gauge their reaction. You will know pretty fast how they view it.
so basically youre saying the quality of care doesnt mean as much as the fact that everyone has the potential to be able to see a physician?bluepeter said:

Uh, no. There's nothing wrong with the quality of care here. I admit you have to wait for some things the reasons for which I have already enumerated. This is the problem I have with Americans commenting on our healthcare. It's a 'socialist' (see: communist) system and the care is third world. Bullshit. We have people come here from all over the world for specialized procedures they can't get elsewhere just like the States do. Absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of care. Get rid of the restrictions on how much a doctor can make and the wait times will disappear as well.

It's too funny reading how canadians get taxed up the wazoo for healthcare..
and yet canadian hospitals are still under-funded, under-manned, and doctors/nurses make a fraction what their american counterparts make.
someone...someplace...is dropping the ball with all that money. So WHERE is it going???

It's called the Argus medical clinic 905-338-9900
Tried to call today to see if they were taking new patients but I kept getting calls so I had to drop the line. Ask for one of the younger ones - they seem pretty cool. Say no if they offer Dr. Thomson - very nasty man. The clinic part of things keeps really good hours too.
It would be a long drive though Dawg - I'd try some in your area first.
