We have been on the health registry since June 21st 2021. Why has my family become one of the “have nots”? I am not seeing a tax rebate for the money I am paying to service healthcare for people who have jumped the cue or the person who moved from another province a year ago and has a family doctor. When I had a Doctor , I was being monitored every three months for a low white blood cell count , also routine ultrasounds as my younger sister died of ovarian cancer. Now with my Telus Doctors I can wait months to even talk to a Doctor. about anything . Today there were no appointments available three months out! I was given a referral by a Telus Dr. for a shoulder issue which was requesting ultrasound imaging. I went to the Oceanside Acute care Centre and was happy to see only myself and one other person at imaging. The nurse had my requisition but said unfortunately it was labeled non urgent by Telus? Therefore I was not going to get imaging on my shoulder as I was put on an eight month to a year wait list ! I couldn’t even dress myself. We found a private clinic and it was determined I had two tares in my rotator cuff. One significant which I was referred to a surgeon for. Not sure if Telus has continued to refer to my shoulder as non-urgent, but months have passed and not a word. We were told at a town hall meeting in Qualicum that without a family Doctor a diagnosis of Cancer would be just that, as without a family Doctor there is no way to be referred to the Canadian Cancer Society therefore no way to see an oncologist to start you on a treatment program. Again Why would I or my Husband not be deserving of lifesaving treatment like anyone else. I should, but will not have a mammogram in case I get a false positive which I have had in the past simply because I know without a Dr. I will be alone with no treatment or hope. I would rather not know than sit there wondering when I will die.
