So that's 4 appointments to get something simple checked out that requires any lab work. What a waste of money and resources.
It should have been one appointment and a phone call.

I think they get paid for appointments don't they? Motivation.
Here's the scary thing though . . . . . administratively, Canada and most other publicly funded health systems are about two or three times more efficient with dollars than the USA system where governments do not set pricing levels. The USA spends lots of money on healthcare with far less effect per person.
