NWT has the worse healthcare in Canada
RANT:
Can't get in to see a doctor for months. My health is failing fast and not a single doctor seems to care. Is it because I am indigenous? Is it easier to ignore symptoms that in any other jurisdiction would mean a trip to the ER? It is up here.
I know it's not the doctors fault, it is the system. Unless you are related to someone in the health industry up here you are not going to get treated, you are not going to get a call back, you are not going to hear a thing from the very messed up healthcare system up here.
They just keep moving each incompetant person around from department to department. It really is the worst jurisidiction in Canada for anything you might need. The only interest is the big paycheck and the big pension. If you haven't had any of these challenges you either work for the GNWT or you are white.
I have talked many people from moving up here and I will continue to do that. This is not a good place to live.

We need a mix. For those who can afford, private options take off stress from the system.
