Family doctor recommendation
 

I read the sticky and the site gives me a list of doctors in Vancouver but I don't know anything about them so I was hoping for some recommendations from people.

Long story short, my GP sucks, he talks to you for 2 seconds and sends you on your way. Talked to the receptionist and she even told me other patients complained too. Someone recommend me a good doctor (preferably a caucasian one as I'm fed up with asian doctors).

I'm hoping to do a full body checkup and get blood work done (check test levels, cAMP, cortisol, other hormones etc.)

Also, is there anything I can say to get them to allow me to do a full blood test? My friend (who is also planning on switching doctors) said his doctor denied him because he was not over 40?

thanks

I would say go to your friends doctor, he seems reasonable.
You don't need all those blood tests unless there are specific reasons and unless you present with symptoms, they are a waste of tax-payers money. A standard blood screen would suffice as a baseline, but even for pts over 40, many don't get random cortisol levels.

I know what cAMP is from school but where in the world did you come up with needing that to be tested for?

It's harder to find a new GP when you already have one. As most GP who are accepting new patients won't accept ppl who already have one.

how do you go about finding one if you don't have one already?

and a female one? i don't want a dude foldling my balls and sticking his finger up my butt
