Minister,
God knows that in Quebec it takes determination, tenacity and patience to get through the medical system to achieve better health and healing, this is now added to the cooperative medical system, others spoke in the wheel!
During more than 9 years since 1998 I lived in Acton Vale without any inconvenience to consult the medical clinic that sometimes getting up early and wait long to open the doors of the clinic inside the entrance to make an appointment. It was very friendly at first, we sat on the floor in the entrance and then brought our chairs before they decide that such human-there would be more comfortable on the bench ... We knew our positions arrivals, very Young children came first and the others put themselves in line for an appointment and everyone was happy ...
Puis un jour certain des médecins près de la retraite qui ne voulait plus s’occuper de l’administration de la clinique et voulaient la rendre alléchante pour la venue de la relève souhaitée dans ce coin de pays on implanté ce système de coopérative médicale.
Maintenant il y a 5 médecins dont 3 sont présents sur une base de deux à trois jours semaines, un qui vient une fois par mois … la coopérative ne prend plus d’adhésion, car elle ne peut pas fournir plus de médecins de famille qu’avant ! Ceux qui ont adhérés à la coop enjoy the wonderful privilege of being on a waiting list for a day have a family doctor! The membership does not give automatic access to a doctor to those who do not ... that is what the population exposed it seems that half the people who adhered are not met.
is a mess to make an appointment and it is discriminatory, it is to try and answer curtly when people are not members, it's full of rules for appeals non-members, for what remains of "time appointment" must be called within a very short time after the members that makes it nearly useless to call, because everyone is "garrocha 'on the phone at a certain time given by the Secretary therefore not even a minute appointments are made for non-members! I even told not to try to have an appointment this day or that it was useless to call ... for non-members, while it is already taken by the members ...
There are also periods of two weeks in the month in which non-members should not call for an appointment with a doctor, but after that period if time permits! Children young and old teens who have not paid anything from a couple members come before ... It's non-democratic it you? The share costs $ 10 plus $ 75 for people MRC Acton and $ 100 for non-residents of the MRC mention that they already may increase over the years depending on the needs of its members ...!
So residents will have members who pay them the knife to the throat all the time and the certainty of pay depending on where future increases and stop these increases? The cooperative is trying to find all sorts of new benefits to provide justification of existence, but between you and me the only one that counts is not to get treatment and see a doctor! In addition to what is the financial instrument that is 30% given to physicians by Medicare for the administration of their practice? Is this money is reinvested in the cooperative it seems that the majority of physicians care for them!
CLSC Acton Vale seems to be the poor relation neglected underutilized ... however, prove useful for our decision to take blood and other treatments. He should be improved to use new services or new resources that the cooperative would fully implemented to provide better services to the people supposedly no need for it to be a member of a cooperative! The credit union instead of investing its funds in the development of a medical coop Pay for the population would have been better to act more wisely by strengthening existing financial structures CLSC Acton Vale improving them.
must no longer allow the addition of new cooperatives to attract medical doctors that create two classes of citizens, but working with resources in places like the CLSC to improve, develop. Why not consider abolish and consolidate all these small regional clinics, townships, villages in one or two large clinical area where the population may converge ? Impose, defining and establishing regional standards peripheral areas which must receive the MEGA clinics to adequately serve the rural village of the CLSC will complete the whole. For a normal contribution of doctors who meet all the doctors in these small villages, consistent service quality necessary and appropriate it must have a doctor on our doorstep? We must globalize after me more than that to avoid the folly of co-ops that simply fool the people of Quebec ... and serve.
now I live in Upton MRC Acton Vale is located 10 minutes from the village of Acton and disgust and desperation I went to another clinic that much further from home than the Crossroads Medical Vallée-du-Richelieu, where my daughter lives. At this point there is democracy and yet when the doctor wants to see us after our exam results are going between patients and it works! I'm not a second class citizen for this clinic which enjoys an excellent location, friendly, handy with integrated pharmacy and many doctors ... it made me think a lot about the relevance of having a clinic at my door unnecessary fee, mega frustrating versus clinical county ...
Improve CLSC if necessary as required innovating links to medical facilities outside the village itself. We want to attract doctors, but paradoxically it is humans who live in these villages will eventually go away, because you can not take them hostage with impunity in a system of health or equality applies to everyone.
Sincerely,
