Seriously...I just tried to book an appointment with 2 different doctors because I'm WAY over-due for a physical and I'm getting told that they're booking for 3 - 6 weeks ahead! 3 - 6 weeks to see a physician? We're supposed to live in one of the best countries in the world and it will take 3 - 6 weeks just to SEE a doctor? Fuck! I'm glad that I'm not experiencing an emergency. I'd be dead by the time that I got in.
I lived in Saskatchewan for years. I even ended up moving back for a brief period and getting admitted to hospital, resulting in a brief period of death. Saskatchewan citizens don't pay for health care, but somehow I got all of the very expensive treatments that I needed to get better. Once I was recovered, I was able to get in to see a doctor within 2 weeks. 2 weeks in a province with FREE HEALTH CARE!
Here in Alberta, we pay something like $50 per month for the privilege of not being able to see a doctor for a simple check-up without waiting 6 weeks! What a hell of a "have" province. Please, remind me why the fuck I'm here.
