I'm glad I moved to BC. You can see your doc, if they think they will be busy on the day you need to get a result checked or follow up test they have even suggested going to another clinic. They all share the medical database to send details to other docs, and lab results are online. I have not come across this aggression to patients getting service elswhere that the primary place could not provide

We’re seriously pondering a move to BC for various reasons, specifically to the island. Hopefully healthcare will be better than here!

You'll never see a doctor on the island, it's one of the many reasons we left

Damn that’s a shame. I guess the whole country is screwed, from what I hear.
