Medical System in Canada...My Experience

Post date: Feb 22, 2013 7:49:29 PM

Long time since I posted any content in this section....Had been very busy personally...

My 5 year old and my new born keep me busy apart from my work.... Just thought that I would comment some facts about the Medical system here in Canada specifically Alberta where I live...

I have heard stories about people talking about long wait times and delay in finding a doctor and so on....Some are true and some are not..

Let me talk about the delay first. It took me about 8 months to get a specialist for me which my family doctor referred. But while I was waiting for the specialist appointment, my family doctor was providing me all the necessary medical help and one of the reason for the delay was due to the fact my condition was not serious at all. Based on the Severity of one's condition, the wait time for the specialist might vary...If you are in a life threatening condition, you will be provided immediate medical attention.

Coming to the Good part, the medical service that is provide is world class, top notch...The medical service that my wife received for delivery was quite higher standard than what we received in United States and adding it to everything we didnt spend a penny.
