Doctor Replied to Your Email. That'll Cost $25

"Canadian healthcare wait times" are mostly a myth invented by the American healthcare lobby [1]. Canadian cities are dotted with walk-in clinics you can go to and see a doctor same day. Or worst case scenario you would go to a hospital ER. Neither of these options will cost you any money and you will get same-day treatment and care. If you made an appointment with a GP then yeah you would wait, since those visits are typically for non-medical emergencies. :)

Hey, I'm not a "myth invented by the American healthcare lobby", wtf.

I went through that ordeal ~4 months ago, me, personally, I didn't read it on a magazine or whatever.
