‘Abandoned’

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘Ridiculous’ situation, Sept. 29.

I too am a victim of the doctor who abandoned patients at the Elora Medical Centre. Like the writer from last week I was a long-term patient of over 60 years – a lifetime actually.

It is my understanding the doctor did nothing to find a replacement or to ensure patients had reasonable options.

To add to my frustration, at this doctors’s direction (via email), I have contacted Health Care Connect to get my name on a waiting list for a new doctor. I did speak briefly to a representative and was promised I would receive a follow up call within 48 hours. I am now going on three weeks waiting for that call. Am I on a list or not?

Personally, I believe this doctor should be held accountable.
