How do China citizens get sick while traveling in Vancouver?

In the streets, business districts and even shopping centers of Vancouver, you will find many clinics run by family doctors. These "family doctors" have their own fixed patient clients, and patients will make an appointment with family doctors in advance when they come to see a doctor. There is a limit to the number of patients that each family doctor can accept. You can walk into the clinic and ask the secretary at the front desk if the doctor still accepts new patients. If so, you can register as a patient of this family doctor. You can see this doctor when you are sick in the future, and he (she) will set up medical records for you.

Some clinics will say "walk in". These clinics can see a doctor without an appointment. But your American doctor suggested that you find a doctor in Vancouver to monitor your illness, so it is better to find a regular family doctor.

In Canada, only emergency and first aid can go directly to the hospital, otherwise you can only see a family doctor first. Only when the family doctor thinks it is necessary will you be arranged to go to a specialist clinic or hospital for treatment.

Canada has universal health insurance (including citizens and permanent residents). If you don't have medical insurance in Canada, it is very expensive to see a doctor here. If you buy commercial medical insurance in Canada, it depends on whether the insurance contract covers such non-emergency medical expenses.
