See my family doctor the next Day?! I always waited 2 to 3 weeks and sometimes 6 weeks.  And I am not the only one. I live in New Brunswick. 

Wait times for patients start when they first try to see doctor,  not after years of dismissal, suffering and fear, months for the referral to actually be sent,  and a year or more to see the specialist who suggests a different type of specialist and then that wait starts.  Wait times don't start as soon as as a surgeon decides for us to book an OR. This needs to be factored in.  Lasting damage is done directly related to the wait for diagnosis.

I lived in one of the top ranked countries in the study. I am aware of differences in the quality of care  I received once in the system in both countries. If I was asked on the survey if I was happy with the quality of care once I got to see a doctor in New Brunswick,  I would say no. How many Canadians have a sense of what health care in 2017 should be (and is in other developed countries)?
