Unacceptable

I left toronto 10 yrs ago and returned in Sept last year. I always thought that Canada has the best health care system comparing to other countries. But I definitely change this perception today....

I had a very bad migraine yesterday and still didn't feel well this morning. I took a sick day today and drove to my family doctor who I had when I was here 10 yrs ago.

The nurse asked me why I didn't make an appointment...HEY!! If I knew I was not feeling well this morning, I would have call already. Actually, I did call but no one answered...

She said that I have to make an appointment first. I told her that since I had a dayoff and could wait for the doctor when he had the time. She still wanted to make an appointment. but the thing is: the doctor is off for vacation the next day. I guess by the time i see the doctor, my head is already blowed up.

I went to find other doctors nearby...a doctor accepts a new patient..unfortunately, one of the patients lost her healthcare and claimed that she lost it in the clinic. Ridiculously, the staff allowed her to look for it behind the counter. There are a lot of sensitive information there, I don't understand why they allowed her to do that. So I asked the form back which I filled it in couple mins ago and left.

I looked for other doctors and all of them didn't take new patients. The attitude of the nurses/receptions is very very bad....

I am totally disappointed to the healthcare system. You pay lot of tax and get NOTHING...
