The only doctor that treats #POTS in western Canada has declined my referral, which was at the request of a cardiologist I waited to see for 5 months.
I can’t even with this country. I hate this medical system. I hate it. All of it. I’m so tired of having to be my own doctor/case manager. For f*cks sake.
I have a diagnosis, and I’m on a medication for treatment but was told to be followed by a specialist after I moved here 9 months ago.
How is this *at all* ethical?
