I just went to an American walk-in clinic for the first time - I was on vacation there - because I had back spasms and an eye infection.
Well, I went to one, first, and was turned away because the medical director and nurse felt that the wait time was too long. (1 doctor had 3 patients, and another had 6. I said, "You've clearly never been to a Canadian clinic." They looked at me as though I was stupid. lol) What a joke.
Went to a second, and didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes to see a doctor. I got much better paperwork and discharge papers, and she actually ASKED me which prescriptions I wanted. What a novelty!
So I got Vicodin for the first time in my life - can you believe that with chronic back and neck pain (from whiplash), no Canadian doctor has ever given me anything more than Tylenol with codeine? For the $120 I had to pay for the visit (it'll be reimbursed, though, because I have travel insurance), it was well worth it to get a stash of 20 Vicodin pills for future flare-ups.
If you do go south of the border, do get any prescriptions filled locally, as I found that my script for antibiotics (for my eye) was not honoured in Ontario.
