There are always issues surrounding surgical wait times. But have you ever considered that time as a gift? It's actually time for you to get fitter, more active, better nourished because these factors can reduce risks for complication during or after the operation like infection, excessive bleeding, or slow/incomplete recovery.

Talk to your own family doctor or primary care provider and review some baseline tests (how are your sugars, blood counts etc?), how good is your sleep, could you be more active phyisically, mentally or socially? and start working today on a faster and healthier recovery.

Share this with someone you know who's booked for surgery.

Prehabilitation can help patients get as healthy as possible before surgery so they can enjoy a better recovery. Discover prehab tips from Dr. Daniel McIsaac.

Generic terms such as “primary care provider” or “primary care clinician” fail to reflect the depth of medical education, training, scope of practice, and professional identity of physicians who specialize in family medicine.

The consequences are tangible. It undermines professional recognition, confuses patients, and weakens respect for family medicine.

And just like that, changes CAN be made✅

Effective immediately, new rules limit when employers can ask for sick notes and will allow more time for health-care providers to spend with patients.
