A new system has been created at my doctor’s office which means I’ll get to see my doctor if I really need him; otherwise the nurse will screen me – um, I mean see me – and she’ll treat me if the situation is minor enough. If I need to see the doctor, then and only then, will I be graced with his presence to treat me if my ailments fall under the category of serious medical condition.
This could be good if you think of the shortage of doctors in Canada and this will permit my family doctor to help those in serious need for illnesses that require more than a pat on the shoulder. Gone are the days of telephoning the doctor for an appointment to see him. No matter if I like him. It’s the nurse first to see if I deserve the honour of seeing him.
It’s been so long last time I saw my doctor in the flesh; it feels like a decade ago. For all I know he could be diagnosing me from the internet in the Bahamas. Thankfully I have a doctor.
