that the government is keeping track of people's visits and because of a shortage of Dr's, if we do not see our Dr for a year, they could bump us out of the Dr.'s practise and insist they take another patient waiting for a family Dr. She stressed it was important that I have my annual checkups on time so that does not happen. I have decided I will see her for some other minor issue during the year as well, just in case I can't make my annual on time. What an actual pile of bullshit this government is pulling.
