sorry to jump on this thread but on the subject of walk in clinics. I stupidly chose a Dr that is only open tues-fri, and my days off are sun & mon Typical! so may have to go to a walk in clinic over the weekend to get something checked out.

Question is do you have to pay for seeing someone at the walk in? my OH paid $100 when we first came over but i think that may have been before we registered for MSP? I have extended cover through my employer also if that makes any difference? Any one know??
Thanks in advance!

You don't pay to use a walk-in clinic. Just show them your MSP card.

If you're covered by your provincial system, walk-ins are free. And your family doctor can't object to your using one.

Least you have got a Dr i have been here three years and none have been taking on patients in my area of the city in all this time..i have to use those walk in centre and they are pretty basic in terms of the treatment you get.

Thats good news, glad she is now a past doctor, how DARE she refuse to treat a child for a rash or anything. Disgusting behaviour!:thumbdown:
Hope you gave her a piece of your mind
