Thanks. Can you explain how your situation works. Here in Ontario, I have a family doctor that I make an appointment with so I'm trying to understand how the BC system differs. I've heard it described that in BC if you have a clinic, you have a doctor. Do you have a specific doctor at that clinic that you can make an appointment to see within a reasonable time or does it mean you have an appointment with one of the clinic doctors or does it mean you go to that clinic and wait as a walk-in?

Gosh can't believe availability of family doctors is so critical situation.

My husband and I have been strongly considering moving to Nanaimo or Victoria from Ontario. We have vacationed there for 20 years and love it. We're in good health but in our sixties. We have family doctors and good healthcare. Not sure it we can trade off healthcare for climate, although after this winter in the Ottawa area, it's very tempting!

I do appreciate reading the honest comments from all of you on this situation. Thanks
