Stop. You’re literally wrong. You have no clue what matching to family medicine means Most of these MDs will work in a non 1o care envt. How do I know this? Bc I literally teach them. They’re seeking clinical opportunities where they are paid enough to pay back their $150K debt.

Subsidizing healthcare. The real crisis in family medicine is that family doctors are subsidizing a broken and failing system. 80% of the interactions patients have with healthcare are at private physician funded clinics. At $37 a visit (Ontario) we have to:
A colleague crunched numbers that demonstrate between 2009 to 2024, family Dr net income has declined 34%. When you factor in that costs of clinics exceed inflation, net income has likely crashed by over 50% in the past 15 years. This is why you can’t find a family Dr. #Ontario
Province of Ontario denies application for new family doctor in the small and under-serviced community of Elmvale - Barrie News barrietoday.com/local-news/pro…
By the way, the scientists that were able to predict the time of a solar eclipse years in the future down to the exact minute? Same scientists that are saying climate change is real and caused by humans. Just an FYI.
Naturopathic "doctors" aren't solution to primary care crisis: ctvnews.ca/health/naturop… by @nicireland_news Let's be clear: naturopathy is built on magical thinking (vitalism). They are NOT science-based & core practices (homeopathy, IV therapy, detoxes) total BS. We can't fix…
An a007 physician code (most common code) was $32 in 2009. Today it is $37.90. Inflation alone makes this code $46.29. Physicians fund offices, staff and run small businesses. They can’t provide care if governments don’t keep pace with inflation. #onhealth
NEW: More evidence that med school grads are growing increasingly reluctant to choose family practice. The number of unfilled family medicine residency spots in Ontario increases yet again. Reporting by @helloryanjones cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Some wise words from @reasonablewlvrn about those @CFMSFEMC who may go #UNMATCHED today. Deep breath, you are still awesome, and you WILL still be great doctors. canadianhealthcarenetwork.ca/resolve-defeat…
To clarify- every unnecessary Medcheck is reviewed by a family doc (UNPAID) and increases admin burden

ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new… For those keeping track that’s $220 for a nurse practioner to do a pap & give results compared to $37 visit +$15 pap + $0 results call = $52 for a family doctor from OHIP. You can’t find a family doctor because they are paid 400% below market value.
We asked some of @OntariosDoctors what they wanted the public to know about the crisis in family medicine. Everyone in Ontario deserves access to a family doctor. The time to act is now before it's too late. Like and repost if you agree. #Onhealth
The end of community-based family practice is upon us. Avoidance of and exodus from community-based family practice is accelerating and we are at the tipping point. I am not exaggerating. This is not a joke. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…

Good morning! A reminder that Doug Ford is offering family doctors a 0% increase at a time when there is a dire shortage & family doctors are fleeing in droves. In addition, pharmacist reimbursement for bogus phone med checks is double what family doctors get paid per visit.
@MaryFernando_ It’s a pretty sad state that my family doctor dad thinks I—a freelance writer—earn the big bucks. My hourly rate does surpass his, and my only overhead is a laptop and internet connection.
When the Ontario government says they’re trying to get more family doctors but the fact that $38/patient hasn’t increased in more than 5 years proves they really aren’t. This is why family doctors can’t make a good of it and are leaving @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation @ONThealth
