I'm in Alberta and want a white primary care physician. Failing that, I want a doctor that was born in Canada, educated entirely in Canada, the US, and/or the UK, and speaks English as their first language.

Using https://albertafindaprovider.ca/find-a-doc/map just gives me fresh-off-the-boat Nigerians or West Africans who don't even look old enough to have completed med school & residency. I can't understand what they're saying, they can't understand me, and frankly I don't respect their ability or their African medical degree.

What are my options here? I know Alberta allows some private medical services but as far as I can tell they're also just a bunch of Africans. If I'm going to be waiting the best part of a year for basic medical care I at least want to try to get a doctor that isn't going to kill me with malpractice.

I have a white doctor after moving and he's just a fucking prescription writer. Guy kept me crippled for 3 years with a bad back saying "naproxen and bed rest are the only things that help"

Eventually I ignored his ass, crushed edibles and started hammering deadlifts/rows and was better within a few months. That was was years ago now.

By contrast, before this hack I have now I had an African doctor with a name I can't even pronounce and that dude was amazing. He actually listened to me, made genuine tailored treatment plans instead of just googling shit, and took the time to know his patients before writing them off with the first ailment they found on a google search.

Idk man, I feel like good doctors can't be determined by colour.

American doctors don't know jackshit. They train the whole degree to pass tests and not recognize symptoms, they let the expensive tests do that for them. See if you would rather have an overachieving highschooler or someone who's seen shit for real.

Look for family doctors and beg them to take you

I wonder how picky you'd be when you were in a car crash and the doctor who showed up wasn't Aryan enough for you

I’m in the same boat. My only suggestion would be to try and find a white doctor in a nearby small community. Thats the only place Ive been able to find them. Though every white doctor Ive tried to get on with wasnt taking patients. Like everything else in this country the governments solution is to import a billion third worlders. Ive just been using telemedicine apps.

False equivalency. There is nothing wrong with wanting a doctor raised in the same culture or environment as you. And you know theyll be held to a high standard. Not fast tracked to fill a position like these immigrant doctors are.
