Hello Fellow CDs,
I am looking for a good family doctor.
My current family doctor simply ignores all the issues and lately I started going to walkin clinics and found that they do act quicker, but the problem is that can't keep going to walkin clinic forever.
As the RateMDs reviews could be fabricated, Could somebody(in Mississauga/Oakville) who has a genuine family doctor or knows/about such doctor could share the details with me.
Thanks!
Most good family doctors are NOT accepting new patients anymore
. Most general physicians here are a joke, they are just a getaway to specialist, sadly you can't go to a specialist directly unless the joke of a family physician ( GP ) refers you to them , and for some reason you have to demand that
Poor bed side manners, not listening to the patients problems, callous attitude, improper diagnosis, hurrying the patient and trying to get him out ASAP to see the next patient so more $$$$ , over billing and looting OHIP , long wait times are the hall mark of the family doctors here.
The new joke is when you go to a family doctor is you can ONLY tell them ONE problem at a time. So if something is wrong with your hand and leg. You can only talk about your hand ! For your leg you need to make ANOTHER appointment on another day ! So they can bill OHIP again
Your OHIP card is like a Visa, Mastercard for them ! Not much accountability and responsibility left in the system, they know you can't touch them and NO action is going to be taken against them
Some family physicians here just ask you what medication you would like them to give /prescribe to you 
, when you visit them.
Going to them is like going through a subway turnstile or Revolving door ! NEXT !! That's how they look at you, when they see you coming
They are laughing ALL the way to the bank BTW on tax payers dime
This is sad but every bit of what you said is true.
I learnt this the hard way, had to visit my family doctor multiple times to get an EnT refferal, finally they reffered me to EnT with a 3 month waiting and when I asked them to try other EnTs they want me to come to the clinic again so that they can swipe my OHIP card again.
This is the reason I started looking for genuine family doctor, who can refer me to specialist if he/she doesn't understand the complications.

There is nothing in it for them, so they don't care, but it only shows how incompetent & wrong their diagnosis was
. You have to absolutely insist & demand on seeing a Specialist 
Most OHIP doctor's work on a 70:30 split. The medical clinic owner gets 30 % & the 5-6 doctor's who sit there the remaining 70 %. its like a factory ou there.
Most medical clinics also get a subsidy in rent etc from the pharmacy besisdes it
. Have you noticed almost all Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall Pharma Plus & other pharmacies have a medical clinic right next to them. Bcoz they subsidise their rent ! in return the docs right precriptions, which generally get fulfilled at the pharmacy next door At the pharmacy the pharmacist aka Compounder in India will count pills, lick a lable & stick it to your bottle for $ 11.99 per prescription at SDM, Pharma Plus etc. The Pharmacist are making $ 100,000 + for that
U have to have good family doctor and known walk in clinic physician, everything is smooth. Do not change family doctor often. Forget about who is getting commission blah blah... worry about getting best treatment. To get specialist, MRI, etc appointment is not easy but if it's emergency, take MP, MPP, political help but get ur work done asap. Rush to emergency or call 911, the way Goras call for small things.
I saw one old gori calling 911 very often and cops used to rush to take her to hospital but now, they told her that, she would be better in old age home and her tantrums have stopped.
I remember, one nurse cursing in emergency hospital telling all people who should be in ICU is out suffering coz ICU beds are occupied by people who should be outside. (suicide case, hand cutting etc. ). She told me that, she feels so helpless when heart patients are outside suffering and dying whereas people with minor injuries are in ICU. I was shocked to hear this. My son was suffering frm breathing problem (Asthma) and she told me, there is no chance of admitting. In b/w a guy came and threatened her to discharge his relative from ICU without doctor permission and she shouted at him that, cops will have to be called if he doesn't obey doctors order. The guy looked thunderous enough to kill coz he wanted his relative out of ICU and to be taken to other hospital before cops started interrogating
the suicide case.
WE should start a separate thread with regards to Private hospital and their contact details and the charges involved. AT can take the initiative and help people here.

Revenge can be bitter sweet, but if u sit back and watch, KARMA can be pure entertainment.
I am actually thinking of opening a Medical clinic myself . Very good income, 30:70 split with the doctors
I will hire a good looking Gori as a receptionist so people like TK always come to my clinic . I won't discriminate whether a desi or gora comes, as their OHIP cards are the same and I just have to swipe them.
I will open it next to a shoppers drug mart, as they subsidise your rent to some extent , as they get lot of walk in prescrptions from your clinic. Win win situation for both.
I will also keep 1 gora, 1 chinese , 1 black, 1 desi doctor, so as to not lose business of various races .
I will also throw in a MUSLIM HIJAB wearing FEMALE doctor, as Muslim women only want a female doctor and their husbands also only want a female doctor for their wife and maybe for themselves too
TK is an architect so I might hire him to design and build my medical clinic, he can also work there as a Manager if he wants. He can sleep there at night, NO rent for him . I can pay him cash if he wants. He can collect welfare and take cash payment from me. Food Bank facilities will also be provided.
I will pay him less than other Gora managers, but it will be cash and above facilities will also be available to him. So just with TK, 1 Gori receptionist and myself, I will be running this clinic to keep costs down . Doctors will be basically Freelancing with a 70:30 split, like most docs here, that's the going rate.
I will also go ONLINE under different names to write FAKE good reviews about these docs, so I get more patients. At the same time I will write bad reviews about the other docs in my area, so more people come to my clinic. Canadian people are stupid people, they will believe anything online and go by these online ratings, whether its a restaurant, doctor, school or pizza place
TK I need your thoughts on this. I think its a brilliant plan. Your Vancouver wife can also work there if she wants.
