While the Canadian system was once functional it no longer is, at least in BC. In fact it's broken. Yesterday during a consultation with a newly (6 months ago) emigrated IT engineer from India he told me he is moving back to India so he can get health care for his family. In BC I'd wager 50% of people do not not have a family doctor - this situation is likely to get far worse as immigration ramps up and more doctors retire than enter practice. Time to urgent hip replacement (my wife's patient with SLE and avascular necrosis who is on daily narcotics for intractable pain) - 2 years. Time to an urgent (not emergent) MRI - 18 months. Time to urgent biopsy for a high risk lesion (ie suspicious breast ca/probable melanoma) - 1-2 months. Time for surgery in biopsy positive cases - 2 months. Time to an autism assessment (to enable funding for therapy which should ideally be started by age 3) - 26 months. Time to be seen in any of the subspecialty clinics (GI, neurology, endocrine etc) at BC Children's Hospital (usually better than any of the adult tertiary care centres owing to prioritised pediatric funding) - 12-18 months.
