We have appointments today with a nearby family doctor. If we like her - or, if I like her, since it's more important to me - the last piece of our settling-in puzzle will be in place. This was the issue I was most concerned about, because I've had bad doctors, and finding a good one changed my life, and because I heard it was very difficult to find a doctor who's accepting new patients in the Toronto area.
I wasn't seriously worried, as there are walk-in clinics everywhere. I went to trouble and expense to make sure we had a good six-months' supply of all our medications, and just hoped for the best.
As it turned out, there were several doctors accepting new patients in Mississauga. Now I'm crossing my fingers that I like this one, or enough to start out, anyway.
It will be our first time using our wonderful and amazing Ontario Health cards.

Back in the Old Country, 26.9 inches of snow fell in Central Park in 24 hours - breaking the previous record set in 1869! Can't say I'm sorry I missed that.

So... how'd it go? Did the process go as you expected it to?
It went well, thanks for asking!
It was what I expected - forms, questions, etc. The doc seems fair enough, although one never really knows til something changes, but I'm satisfied to go back.
This was just a new-patient consultation. We have appts for physicals in about a month. Onward!
