a family doctor 
One of the basic steps to do once you get the card
OHIP, you will find a family doctor
, also said
General Practitioner (General Practitioner
) or
GP. In many regions of Canada to find a General Practitioner
that accepts new patients, can be a difficult
. Fortunately, in large cities like Toronto
,
Vancouver or Montreal
this phenomenon is less heard. The family doctor here, is one who knows (or
know) your health situation over the years. Many of the normal periodic check-ups
are made at the doctor's office itself. Your doctor will have a record of your medical condition and treatment you had, is the one who knows more than you and your family. But how to find a family doctor? A service specifically designed for this need:
Find Your Doctor (
Find a Doctor ) of the College of Surgeons and Surgeons' s
Ontario. Just visit this link
, enter basic information (type:
doctors who accept new patients, city, language, etc.). and you'll get a list of doctors available in the area searched. There are also other ways to find a doctor, how to consult the yellow pages or ask friends and relatives if their doctors still accepting new patients
.
not advise you to wait to be sick to find a family doctor. The expectations for appointments can be long
week! It may happen that in their area of \u200b\u200bresidence, you can not find a doctor who still accepting new patients. In that case, we must go to medical clinics, no appointment
. These clinics have doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Many hospitals have their own clinics without an appointment for cases that are not public health emergencies. Some clinics have extended hours, so you can do una visita dal dottore
la sera e anche durante il
weekend . Una visita nelle
Walk-In Medical Clinic non è mai come andare dal medico di famiglia, tuttavia, si riceve lo stesso attenzione da parte di un dottore. In genere,
non c'è bisogno di appuntamento per queste cliniche, ma molto probabilmente le attese potrebbero prolungarsi
per ore prima di vedere un dottore. Per trovare la più vicina clinica si può consultare le
Pagine Gialle o ricercare su questo
link la lista delle
Walk-In Medical Clinic presenti in
Ontario .
Dopo aver ricevuto la mia tessera
OHIP mi sono faced the need to find a family doctor
, and I must admit, not having a clue as
by
who leave, I got
influenced by a number of factors that
for nothing qualify the person I had chosen. Well I did my research for
location, sex
and
languages. In the end, as it may seem logical
guess, I found a doctor
of Italian origins
operating at
2 steps from my office. Frankly, I
positively hit, I immediately set an appointment to do a
complete control of my health, to be carried out directly at the studio. Meeting set for March 31
!
... I'm glad you're already in Canada, and who says that the move to Canada is long and exhausting, I say "Never give up," it is really worth. For those, like us, is left to live abroad, and Italy `s is even more absurd view from outside, and, despite myself, we do not lack much. What to find out from Italy else: respect of others toward the other; civilization (meaning civil) and respect for everything that surrounds us find everything `(the director of my bank 33 years!)` Availability no ulterior motives; etc, etc, ecc.Ora like me is already happened several times, many say, but how come the `Canada is so perfect? Sara's all right? "To these I say, as you just put the lobsters in the pot on the fire, you do not realize that the water is starting to boil`, `why the temperature rises slowly, but the direction is that . I do not recommend anyone to come and live in Canada, but I am only saying that out from Italy `s world is a much, much better. Do not waste your life in a country that rewards only the caste and individualists, not stay in a country where the word of the order for the middle class (90% of the population) is: survive! If not for you, at least for your children. We Italiani siamo davvero molto ma molto piu` avanti di chiunque altro nel mondo (e da quando siamo qui, e` ancora piu` evidente) abbiamo una creativita` un gusto ed una versatilita` che non ha pari in nessun altro paese. Siamo ricchissimi di talento e di intelligenza, per cui non abbiate mai paura di confrontarvi con gli altri, perche` noi ne` usciremo sempre a testa alta. Non dimenticate mai che noi siamo, i Ferrari, i Renzo Piano, I Fuksas, i Dario Fo, gli Umberto Eco e i Franco Rosso e molti altri, e solo che per poterlo dimostrare dobbiamo fare le valigie e partire, perche` nel nostro paese non bisogna essere capaci, ma essere amici di qualcuno! Quindi se non siete amici di qualcuno....
