Calgarian Robin Arseneault visited her doctor's office in Marda Loop recently for a routine physical. So the couple was surprised to see an email land from the Marda Loop Medical Clinic in their inbox that same week, stating that the clinic would be moving to a membership system.
In an email sent to the clinic's members, Dr. Sally Talbot-Jones wrote that the clinic's aim was to alleviate stress expressed by patients due to extended waiting times, the challenge of scheduling family appointments, and more.
"This decision was driven by my commitment to providing you with the level of care you deserve. I have extensively researched the most successful healthcare models around the world, and I am confident that our new program is designed to deliver excellence," Talbot-Jones wrote.
bull####. it's purely money driven. We're going to see a lot more of this. With the doctor shortages and the state of healthcare, why wouldn't doctors grift like anyone else? |
We have these clinics for years. I still remember looking at Copeman, Preventous, Provital at least ten years ago when we couldn't find a doctor. Doesn't make it kosher but not sure why all of a sudden people didn't know about this.
