Went to the walk in clinic today.. I don't have a family doctor...Not since I was 10.
Well got there when it opened at 10am.
Waited half a hour because the doctor apparently doesn't feel like she needs to be there at 10am.
The waiting room was full by the time the doctor decided to show up.
Waited another hour for my name to be called.
Waited in a room for another half hour for the doctor to come in.
Next part Doctor shows up(within 2 mins)
She came in asked me what is wrong. I told her I am transgender and I Have been self medicating for the last year and couple months. I started my journey 3 years ago. She looked at me with disgust and said we don't do that here. Go speak to your family doctor and get a referral. I told her I do not have one. She told me to go speak to the receptionist who gave me a stupid website to go to that is of absolutely no help. It lists doctors for sure but not a single one has any openings to be a family doctor...
Me now stuck in limbo unsure what to do.
I did find a government site healthcare connect that is hopefully going to search for a family doctor for me.
I just am really down now and don't know what to do. Do I order more BO and hope it gets here or do I try to find a family doc who will refer me to ??? I dont even understand what that means refer me to what? All I needed was this Walk in clinic to give me a prescription. So whats the difference between a family doc and a walk in clinic doc do they have some magical power that says hey I can refer you to who ever and one doesn't? I just don't understand.
