Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y'alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.

Sometimes walk-ins will just refer you to Obs-gyne without taking you in as their patient. Another option is doctors would sometimes take families in as their patient even though their practice is full. Most specialist are referral base.

I almost forgot! Nurse practitioners would also take in patients as patient-family doctor relationship. Then they can refer you.
