Just as the title says. Does anyone have any clinics to recommend in Mississauga where the doctor's aren't complete rejects? My family doctor is on vacation until next week.

Walk-in clinic that *doesn't* suck?
- Thread starter short stop
- Start date
not mississauga but the shopping plaza north east of kipling and eglinton is pretty decent.
Yes. I've been having dizziness and vertigo issues for at least a few weeks. I brushed it off because I thought it was post-concussion symptoms, but now I'm thinking it's something else...
Well I'm not really a doctor, but Im willing to take a look.....
She think men are gross
Go to the ER. A couple of years ago a woman my wife works with had similar symptons and blamed it on the flu. After a week or so her hubby said enough and took her to the ER. It was an aneurism. (She didn't make it)
Don't piddle around. Just do it. NOW.
Already have, but thanks for the concern. The ER doc did a basic neurological check, and sent me packing. *shrug*
My sis recommended one at Hwy 10 and Queensway, directly across from the hospital. I'll be heading over in a short bit. Thanks everyone!
do they sign the paperwork for my kush card?
This bothers me. Someone goes into Emerg and with CT, Xray, MRI, Ultra sound and who knows what else around they can't say what's wrong??? What's a clinic going to do with less equipment?
I guess I've been watching too much "House".
Needless to say, my last few experiences with our hospital systems has me P'd. If it wasn't for the differences in anatomies I would feel safer with a veterinarian. If you aren't happy with them you can bite them and pee on their floor. Arf, arf. Rant over.
I hear ya nobbie. Every time I go to the doctor or a hospital I lose a little more faith in our health care system. I'm hoping this clinic will dig a bit deeper and check for inner ear infection or something. I'm not even gonna mention concussion right off the bat. It narrows their focus too much.
Dont tell them anything. Make them run a full set of tests and dont stop till theres answers.
Don't tell them family history either. They just assume that's what you have too.
Don't be surprised how much similar we are with animals. I think the rat or pig share 98% of our genes

We have the same muscles and bones in our body. These muscles and bones have the same identical names sometimes. The only difference is length and angle of movement.
I say the difference between a doctor and a vet is one has more liability issues. If I were in trauma, I won;t mind a vet taking a look at me.
Ps. We share alot of diseases with the rat/pig. Thats why they are in our local labs
I've got mixed emotions about concealment as I trouble shoot electrical problems. A lot of problems would be solved faster with less intervention if all the facts were known up front. When was the head bump? How bad was it?
On the other hand there is a saying in the medical field "If you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras." If you mention the concussion it's very possible that they will listen for the wrong hoof beats.
Knowing the right questions to ask is the key. I don't know the right questions.

long pig, the other white meat.
One big difference is a human's ability to communicate what is happening in his/her body. The vet has to envision what is happening by watching reactions etc.
you'd be shocked how many people can not communicate issue's they are having with their bodies. It's not nessasarily their fault, as its sometimes extremely hard to discribe exactly what the other person means.
Ex, does it hurt when you cough
hurt is a matter of opinion... (poor example, but you get it)
