People in Canada are so lucky to already have a doctor, so we have no choice of who to have for a doctor. We hare short in doctors and nurses - at times some of our hospitals are closed for the night. Short staffed. Only if the doctor you have is no good, then you would look for another doctor who is better. Like I did.
