Could be. But also some doctors are just arrogant idiots. I went in to a clinic for a inguinal hernia and when I explained to the doctor what was wrong with me (pulled adductor and inguinal bulging) he scoffed because I wasn’t a medical doctor and ridiculed me for using “ooh big words” (his actual wording), and had me lay down to examine me. he said there is nothing there, so I countered that it was Inguinal and correct check is with patient standing. He was then pissed off and told me I was fine and had me leave.
I went back a week or so later and it was a different doctor, he did the proper check and said you should not be walking around like this, made surgical request, and I was in surgery quite soon after.
So if you get an asshole doctor they just ignore the patient.
Depends on the area. Ontario I had a few issues, but in BC it has been amazing (for me and my family). Its triage, so emergencies go first, and some folks have issue with that.
