“the province’s dermatology backlog, and the clinics triaging it”
“Long-time patient. A staged plan rather than the strongest thing first, and it worked by month four. Will be back in six months.”
“Booked on a friend’s recommendation. She found something on my back I could not have seen. Will be back in six months.”
“He was blunt about what the treatment would and would not do, which I needed. Worth the drive.”
“Long-time patient. Full-body check, every mole photographed and logged for comparison next year. Recommended them to my sister already.”
“Long-time patient. She found something on my back I could not have seen.”
“First time at this clinic. Results in eight days, called personally rather than a letter. Genuinely relieved.”
“First time at this clinic. He was blunt about what the treatment would and would not do, which I needed. Worth the drive.”
“Third time here. Four months in with no real change and no plan for what comes next. Hoping it is a one-off.”
“First time at this clinic. Nine months between the referral and the appointment. Not enough to stop me going back, but worth saying.”
The referral wait is the thing we are most criticised for and we cannot fix it alone — it is a provincial backlog. What we can do: everyone on the list is now triaged by photo within two weeks, and urgent cases are moved ahead of routine ones.
