A former patient who suffers anxiety and depression says losing her family doctor because she's 'too young', is devastating.
An Esquimalt woman says she was devastated to find out her doctor of two and a half years was dropping her because of her age.
“I am not able to sustain the demands of my current full-time service family practice at this time, therefore will be closing this and maintaining a focused seniors practice,” Dr. Truelson wrote in the email shared with CHEK News. “I’m at the age where I’m thinking of having a family in a couple of years. Will I have care then?” asked Fraser.
“There are certainly complex patients below 50 that I know the highlighted GP is concerned about and would like to keep on, but the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC criteria precludes them from selectively choosing individual patients or ‘cherry picking’,” said Levi Newnham, clinic manager of the Esquimalt Medical Clinic.which prevent a doctor from dropping a patient based on the complexity of their needs.
