Action Plan

Staff is awful. Most appointments are scheduled with his nurse, Karine. I want to see Dr. Zarruk, not his nurse. Karine has no empathy. I am a patient with Dr. Zarruk for Type 2 Diabetes. Karine told me that if I would just stop eating sugar, I wouldn't have Diabetes. It is a little more complex than that. I found her to be completely insensitive and condescending. It is unfortunate that Dr. Zarruk has her as part of his team. He is highly knowledgeable and before this appointment he had made me feel like together we would figure things out for my health. I also asked Karine for my BMI, a referral and a prescription for glucose meter strips, which she refused to give me. So I left the without the referral, the prescription and I don't know my BMI. It has been a very long time since someone has made me feel like I was below them. It won't happen again as I will never step foot in that office again!

Family Doctor

Your family physician knows your health history best. He or she can recommend how often you should come in for a physical exam or wellness check, and how frequently you need medical testing or screening done. To get the most out of your appointment, make sure your family physician has up-to-date medical records.

How to Work with Your GP or family physician

Tell your doctor about any medications you take, including supplements. Make a list of questions to ask so that you don't forget anything important, and be totally honest with your family doctor about smoking, alcohol and drug use. Your healthcare provider needs an honest picture of your health to provide you with the best information for your situation.

Annual Physical Exams & Screening

It used to be common for people to “save up” their questions and concerns for an annual checkup with a physician. Many patients today choose to visit a primary care physician when they’re sick or are at a higher risk for developing a disease. Similarly, many medical experts have moved away from the yearly physical exam, instead recommending periodic health evaluations as needed. That said, there are some annual tests that a patient may require. Some examples of medical tests people might get yearly are:

• Pap smear: A sample of cells is taken from a woman’s cervix to check for abnormalities that may indicate cervical cancer.
• STI testing: Screening for sexually-transmitted infections should be done at least once a year if you’re sexually active.
• Prescription drug follow-ups: You may need to check-in with your doctor to make sure your dosage is working for you and that you’re not experiencing side effects.
• A PSA test: A blood test to screen for prostate cancer in men (generally recommended for patients over a certain age).
• A mammogram: A diagnostic exam to screen for breast cancer in women (generally recommended for patients over a certain age).
• Blood pressure testing and cholesterol profile (generally recommended for patients over a certain age).
• Blood tests: May include a chemistry panel and complete blood count, fibrinogen, hemoglobin A1C, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and more.
• Testing related to a chronic condition such as diabetes (you may need to see your physician more frequently).

Everyone's situation is different, so it's important to work with your GP or local family physician for optimal health and wellness - whether you need help managing a chronic disease or have mental health concerns.

Talk to your family physician if you'd like more information on working with your GP.

Adherence:
Adhering to your medications, prescribed exercises or lifestyle changes (such as dietary changes, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol consumption, etc.) is essential to improving health outcomes successfully. Compliance to any prescribed treatment is the number one thing you can do to ensure positive changes and optimal treatment outcomes.

Often seeing a local physiotherapist in conjunction with your family physican is important to help deal with muscular and skeltal problems. We know that obesity is as much a disease as schizophrenia or depression or high blood pressure and telling someone who carries extra weight to eat less and move more is like telling a schizophrenic to just ignore the voices.
