There is absolutely a double standard. Professional athletes will get quicker overall care, quicker diagnostic care and quicker surgeries. What was the last NHL player you heard of who needed a procedure done and had to wait even a month?

Also, I would agree that the best way to deal with most issues are through your family doctor. The problem is it is hard to even get a family doctor in most provinces that isn't all about patient in, patient out.
