Your doctors office will provide you a list of walk in clinics that they are associated with. We agreed to this, and signed a form, when they took us on as patients more than 15 years ago.

So it’s a Friday afternoon and I need some immediate medical attention and these are my options:
1- call my Dr and get an appointment in 3 weeks
2- clog the emergency room for something that isn’t an emergency
3- go to walk in and loose my Dr.
So my choices are stupid, stupider and stupidest.

Isn’t the issue that they actually don’t get paid in some instances? I don’t mean for the walk in clinic visit, but for subsequent visits to the family doctor. The whole system is a rip off to our family docs. I bet a huge percentage of them regret the time and sacrifice it took to get qualified.

I asked my doctors office this a few months ago. I was told it doesn’t effect them in any way if I go to walk-in. I’m in Ontario if that matters.

Can’t be fired by my family doctor if I’ve never had the privilege of having one in the first place 😎

Jesus what kind of family doctors are out there? Mine has always advocated me seeking help if I need it. They need to start issuing suspensions to doctors who do this. Anyone who creates a barrier to healthcare should be punished. Fuck this.
