I isn't a pdoc who only sees new patients 2 days per year. It is hospital staff development pediatrician. They are the only ones here who can officially assess and dx someone with Asperger's and Autism. The problem is how the health care system pays them. They would only get paid for a 1 hour consult appt. at $140 but really, they are spending 4 hours with you. Another pediatrician could have made at least 4 times as much in that time so only the salaried ones do these assessments which means there are only about 4 in the entire area in and around Toronto. That is absurd when you consider there are probably 5 million people living here.

There are just too many patients, not enough doctors.
