I live in North Bay, Ontario. I moved here from Toronto and have been here for approximately 3.5 years. I can't get a family Doctor here. There is an increase in services that are not covered by OHIP. Wait times at the Emerge are insane. Ohip covered Rocket Doctor was serving my needs and now of course, they don't. While I agree that we should focus on getting Doctors to North Bay, the wait list must be huge. Having virtual care with ohip covered options is paramount here. I imagine it is all over Ontario. Get it done.
I have tried all day to get appointments to deal with my mental health. Walk in clinics said they can’t deal with my issues. Virtual doctor was the only help I received. It is imperative that it continues to be accessible by everyone equally in Ontario
We're all saying the same thing. There is a multi-year waitlist to get a primary care physician in my city, there are 0 walk-in clinics here, so the only choice if it is not a minor ailment where you can see a pharmacist it to go to emergency and wait 6-8 hours. Oftentimes we know what the issue is and just need to see a doctor to discuss and get a prescription. Having this available again would save emergency doctors for actual emergencies.
