    Glad the car is on the mend! Much as we don’t want to be car owners it’s just unavoidable especially as we get older. Can’t imagine relying on public transportation (if it even existed here!) for my four days of doctors appointments. And it was ugly cold and raining too. And many more appointments in the future.

    Unwanted advice for PAV - find a doctor you like and trust and go with it. Don’t know how Canadian medical system works so ….

    The local medical system has become much harder to work with during the past ~20 years. Multiple changes as to how easy it is to both access and change primary care providers (moving from relatively easy to the current status of "almost impossible") and of course primary care is who coordinates referrals to specialists. Gone are the days where you could walk in and get second opinions, or referrals for seconds opinions. Cost wise I am sure this is good for the system. Whether it makes individual care better... that is more of an open question! I am actually considering a private consult outside the system and have sent a private message to @Dante_80 (he seems "plugged in" over in Greece :wink: ). I suspect the message never made it through MFP :disappointed:
