Is my family actually getting a family doctor or am I just looking at SPAM?
We moved to Victoria and are on the waiting list to be assigned a family doctor here. I got an email today (and the first such email in 6 months) that names each family member and includes the message below.
Question is, how do I tell the difference between this and some kind of telemedicine SPAM. Is this really my new family doctor? Why are they an NP? Last I checked NP stood for Nurse Practitioner. Anyhow, looking for answers, or folks who have received this same thing.
Message:
