Here’s my observations of most Canadian patients. Entitled. Will come to ER at all hours for any problem and then instead of thanking the people helping them, will complain behind your back to your manager. Like it or not, Canada is a nation of Karens.
There has never been any suggestion of having people take responsibility for their own health or actions. Instead, they just keep using and abusing the system. Before you go all Karen on me, I’m not talking about serious health issues.
Btw because a doctor makes higher than average wage does not preclude me from stating my observations. The rich doctor narrative is tired and old. We graduate in our late twenties with massive debt. Med school is over 100k now.
My neighbour in sales makes more than I do and works from home. So please don’t dare to comment on my wages, when I’m working holidays, weekends and nights to keep the hospital going. Again, entitlement shows its face by the public thinking they own us.
It’s absolutely entitlement to think you can walk in with any non urgent problem any time of day and you’ll get all your demands met. Hospitals don’t run 24/7 - only the ER for emergencies. It’s not the job of the ER to make up for primary care.
