It's private healthcare so of course you get fast and efficient service. Pay for what you want, when you want.
Same as going to the dentist - if you want an appointment you can book and be there in a few days, or even sooner if it's an emergency.
Our socialized medicine? Book an appointment and get seen sometime next week maybe for your family doctor, then sometime in the next 3 months - 2 years to see a specialist. Isn't it so much better!
My favourite experience was when I sprained my ankle badly and had to get an ultrasound. They made me book 2 seperate appointments to scan first my ankle, and then on my foot about 3cm lower than the ankle. Why? Because OHIP only pays them once for one appointment, so they wanted to get paid twice because technically the foot is a different body part. So I was to come back for another scan when I can barely walk.
