B.C. politician ‘pretty pessimistic’ after son loses family doctor to retirement
Another family doctor is set to close up their practice in the West Shore, leaving Colwood resident Ian Ward looking for a doctor for his son.
“I don’t hold out a lot of faith on sort of wait lists program to deliver any results,” Ward said. “So, like other people, I’m just trying to network as much as I can, talk to people. Someone mentioned they have a family doctor and just ask, ‘Hey, are they taking new patients?’ You really have to advocate for your family.
“It’s tiresome, I think, and frustrating – not only the wait times to see people, but then having to sort of reinvent the wheel in terms of discussing solutions and things over and over again.”
