Is there a big backlog? I don't live in Ontario, just trying to learn about it

If you don't have a family doctor today you are going to wait months if not years to get one if you are in a busy area.

Hospitals are way understaffed, if you come in with a non-life threatening emergency (broken arm) you can expect to wait anywhere from 4 to 12 hours depending on how busy it is.

If you live in a non-busy area, expect to wait years, if not decades. I live in a smaller city in southern Ontario, and our wait list is getting longer every year. I've not had a doctor since 2018.
