Nice idea, but where are the doctors?
Dear Editor:
Regarding the column NL Health Matters by Mardi Collins who claims that her dog gets better health care than humans, she fails to say how much she pays for that care. Yes, you can go to the vet hospital and get “one stop” care for your animal from x-rays, ultrasounds etc., to medications if you can afford the fees.
We are blessed (as humans) to have all these things offered to us at no cost. I am fortunate to have a family doctor and feel for the people who are not so lucky. Her suggestion to open seven clinics in Conception Bay is a wonderful idea but where do you find the doctors and other staff to operate them?
I have had occasion to attend the Health Hub in St. John’s and have nothing but good things to say about it.
