In Canada that sort of thing happens all the time, but it's part of the side affect of the free health care system. We have a shortage of family doctors and for that reason a lot of people are forced to go to the ER for routine medical needs, because they don't have a family physician to go and see. None of the General Practitioners in my area are accepting new patients. Luckily, I've had my family doctor for years.
