Blood

After many months I finally have found a doctor. In Montréal there is a tremendous shortage of Family Physicians. This has several causes, one of them that after your graduation as a doctor the Québec government wants you to work for a couple of years in rural areas (where there is even a bigger shortage of doctors). If you stay in the city you are fined by a 30% cut in your income. Another reason is that because the workload is very high many doctors are retiring early.

Anyway, I have one now and after conducting a complete physical exam he wanted to do some blood tests. I had to go to the hospital for those and of course there were huge lines. I had to wait for three hours, not fun when you have so much work to do.
