         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes both myself and family members have experienced exceptionally long wait time(s) at a hospital. In the time of crises its nerve-racking to sit idle and feel helpless but there is always a sense of relief when you get to finally see an Emergency Department Physician. In the moment of despair its very easy to think negatively of the healthcare system and health staff but putting things into clearer perspective it boils down to triage and there is always going to be someone else who is worse off in Emergency than you. No it does not affect the way I approach health care services, I've been blessed beyond fortune not have too many experiences with going to the Emergency in the first place.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes, I definitely have experienced extremely long wait times at a hospital, and I am sure that my family can also attest to that statement. It did not really change my appraisal of the care I received, or the way I approached accessing services because this has always been the case and I have always been aware of it. Thus, I only go to the ER if it is absolutely critical, which is rare. Otherwise, I wait until I can go to see my family doctor, or if I can go see a walk-in doctor. My past few experiences at the walk-in have been great, as my personal issue with wait times is not knowing how long it will be. Lately, there has been a new technology implemented that gives an approximate wait time, which allows me to run errands in the meantime while I wait to see a doctor.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My mom currently has to wait two weeks to get a consultation from a doctor and will have to wait even longer for a survey. And every time I want to make a doctor's appointment I have to wait 2-3 weeks for an available slot. Normally this would bother me but I am very happy with my family doctor and the hospital she's going to is one of the best and we are willing to wait for good service. But if it were an emergency I would definitely choose to go to a walk-in clinic because my doctor can't even see me. Therefore, my perception of the health care system depends on the medical issue at hand. But I really can't complain much since it is free</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Luckily, I personally have never experienced a long wait time for medical services. But, my dad has osteoarthritis and at times he has to wait a couple months in order to get specific treatment or shots into his knee to help subside the pain.  This bothers me because why is someone experiencing chronic pain having to wait months on months to get treatment even though they are in immense pain all the time? It hasn't affected the way I access services because we only have so many options to choose from, especially someone who has to see a specialist for their condition, it just makes me mad on how long wait times are. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There have been instances where family members, and myself have had to wait months for specialists appointments, or hours in the Emergency room. This experience did not change my appraisal for the care I received, because I understand that in an emergency situation, all patients are triaged, and this is a necessary process to execute services efficiently, maintain patient flow and to sort people based on their needs for immediate medical attention. It is unfortunate to see people in pain suffer, especially while they are waiting, this makes me upset., but I am thankful for having a clinic and hospital very close to my house. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The longest we have had to wait was 11 months, but that was for a non emergency/really rare referral. Overall, I consider it relatively reasonable considering what we pay. I do agree, when it comes to pain, that six week wait for an MRI to diagnose arthritis in the spine is a VERY painful wait.</div>]]></description>

On the other hand I've used clinics like AppleTree and was able to see the wait times online so scoped out the clinics where times were shortest. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My family members and I have definitely waited a long time in the waiting room in the hospital and walk-in clinics. There have been times when I was younger that I complained about the slow process of seeing the doctor in the ER or walk-in clinic was. But I realized there are patients that have conditions that are much worse than mine and hence are a priority to the doctors. <br>If I need to see a doctor right away, I go into a walk-in clinic. I do not mind the wait because I run a few errands during the wait time. I do not go into the ER unless I believe the condition is absolutely an emergency.<br>Wait times to see a specialist can be also frustrating because when you are in so much pain all you want is relief or treatment. It can be hard on someone waiting months to see a specialist; it can affect their work and social life as well. <br>All in all, I appreciate our health care system. Although we have long wait times, we have the ability to access free health care which is not the case in many countries.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My mom had a burn on her arm from warming up the water in the stove so we took her to markham stouffville hospital where first she had to see the nurse which took about 1 hour because the line to see the triage nurse was ridiculously long and that stressed my mom out. then she registered and we had to wait another hour then she saw a nurse again and sat in the office to see the doctor which was another hour so this constant waiting was stressing my mom out like crazy and by the time the doctor came not even 5 minutes just gave some cream and said bye. Yes this has affected the way i approach accessing services because  whats the point of free healthcare if the system is not efficient in seeing patients effectively and improving on the wait time.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I am somewhat lucky in that I have a GP at home, so I don't usually have to wait at walk-in clinics. When I injured my knee though, my orthopedic surgeon requested I get an MRI. The shortest wait time in the Vancouver area was eight months. I ended up paying out of pocket. While a bit shocking when it happens to you, I know that the system is prioritizing more urgent cases and I am fine with that.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I remember going to the emergency department for the first time when I was in elementary school due to food poisoning. My mom was worried because I vomited a little bit of blood and our family physician could not take any more patients for the day or she was not in that day. When we got there, I was given a form that told me to rate my pain. At first, I was ready to mark it as painful, but after taking a look around, I realized my condition was not nearly as bad as what others were in for. I had to wait 5 hours, which at the moment was 5 hours too long. But I understand that there were multiple other cases that are very urgent and needed care immediately. I try to avoid the emergency department, even when I don't have access to my family physician, due to the wait time. I feel like it makes sense why minor conditions have to wait to access the emergency. But I do feel that we have to improve our access to other health services that can take care of these conditions in a timely manner.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My family and I have had experiences where we had to wait at the ER for several hours, often late into the night. This can be stressful; for example, when my parents took my grandfather to the ER they were not able to leave until 2-3AM and they had work the next day. However, after the wait, we often get good care and I have met many great nurses and physicians in the ER, so I wouldn't say it affects my appraisal of the services much. It does affect how I approach accessing services, as I often avoid the ER if possible and I also often choose to go to walk-in clinics with less patients and quick turnover instead of going to my family doctor. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My father used to get severe stomached aches, he visited our family doctor and she prescribed medicines, however, she recommended that if the pain increased overnight, she advised us to visit the hospital emergency care. Once we arrived there, they gave us a bunch of forms to fill it up before admitting him. However, we noticed dad was in so much pain, so my uncle recommends that to speed up the admission process, tell them with a stomached ache he is having chest pain as well. Once we informed the nurse about his chest pain, they admitted him right away and proceeded with diagnosis.  Diagnosed him with gallbladder stones, and performed the surgery following day. In that point, I felt like we forced lie to access the care. I am disappointed with the long waiting time and the government must allocate more funding to emergency care. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have had the opportunity for the first time to visit the Walk-In clinic. The first one  I called informed me that the wait time is approximately 1 hour. I turned up there and indeed I had to wait one hour and I realize that for services not covered, they were exorbitant. It so happened that I had to leave that clinic and had to go to another as I called around and got more reasonable cost. It turned out that I also had to wait another 1  1/2 hour.<br>It made me reflect on healthcare systems in many other places and realize that the wait time to access care is getting more extended. This would not affect my appraisal as I understand the conditions and furthermore I was satisfied with the service rendered.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When my grandma was in her final months of her cancer battle she had to wait a very long time in Emergency one night. Although she was, (and our family still is) very privileged to have access to a family doctor, this was an emergency medical problem due to her late stage cancer. My mother and grandma had to wait 8 hours in total. Our family understands that through the triage system in place, it will take longer as there are so many more people now without access to a family doctor. In terms of how we approach accessing services- we don't go as soon as we need to like many others due to the dread of long wait times.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Recently, my boyfriend was referred to emergency for eye problem. It wasn’t bad on the weekend, at least the registered nurse told us that the wait time approximately around 2 hours. This experience did not affect my appraisal of care that I received. I understand there are some people having severe situation than us and needed to receive care. I also familiar with health care system in my country. To be honestly, if I have severe situation, I might consider going back to my home to receiving treatment, because there does not have a long wait time for seeing a specialist or imaging appointment (such as MRI). I am appreciated all the doctors, nurses, and other health care services. <br><br></div>]]></description>

When I do get an appointment with him I have to wait another 2 hours before I can get into the examination room. I am use to  having to wait for my family doctor so it doesn't bother me that much.I am happy with the care that he gives me and he takes the time to explain any concerns that I have. If I am sick and I know that I can't get an appointment on the same day I will usually go to the walk in clinic. When I go to the walk in clinic I don't have to wait long and I receive great care. The doctor is very nice and she treats me with great care.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Since I have live in Canada for less than a month I haven’t experience any appoints in the Canadá’ health care system. My sister and brother in law who have been living in Canada for 3 years have had good experiences but haven’t have the need to go to any specialist only family doctor, so they overall understanding of the system is that is effective. Comparing Canada’s heath system with Brazilian health system from what we have studied in this Unit I will say in Brazil our system is 100 % free ( from doctors appointment, exams and medication) but normally the wait list is so big that in some cases will pay private doctors or surgery depending on the severity of the case! </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> I don't have much experience with Canada's health care system, except my current search for a family physician.I find it  hard to find a doctor that is  willing to accept new patients at the moment and it is really frustrating and disappointing.As for wait time, in general as a healthcare provider myself I am aware of the fact that sometimes, it is  out of the caretakers control ,so I try to be more understanding about it and, did my best at my practice to deliver care in a timely manner.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes, I've experienced exceptionally long wait times for medical service in Emergency. Usually, it is understandable based on the seriousness of the issue. However, when I was initially diagnosed with cancer I was in extreme pain and because it didn't appear urgent I had to wait a very long to see someone. Thorough checks weren't completed until my family doctor who I knew more personally insisted they were carried out by the hospital. I essentially was in pain despite being given heavy doses of morphine. I was then unable to walk which still only got so much attention. Once tests were completed and it was deemed an emergency situation I was brought to PMH by ambulance. It somewhat impacted the way I viewed the system for awhile as I had been stating for a few days that I was in extreme pain and nothing was done. I'm still only in remission some months so accessing services is still ongoing but I'm more forward in stating how I'm feeling. On the other hand, I don't have to wait very long to get an appointment with my family doctor and if it hadn't been for her knowing me very well I don't know if things would have been solved as quickly which was very important for the cancer I had. i.e. quick interventions taken after.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have had several experiences with extremely lengthy wait times. My most memorable experiences was when my father was told he will be waiting 5 years for his orthopedic  surgery. My father had extreme pain and a deforming toe from really severe arthritis which was getting progressively worse. The wait was so long that his initial xrays no longer matched his current state. This was a direct result of a shortage of orthopedic surgeons available in the GTA specializing on the foot. Fortunately, he only needed to wait 3 years as there was a cancellation.  It ultimately left a bitter taste and a lowered faith in our health care system. We understood the reasoning behind waitlists but we still could not justify the length we were asked to wait. If this trend continues, espeically with our growing population and aging  demographic, more and more Canadian's will be suffering for longer. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the mental health and binge drinking campaigns are great. They grab your attention and make you reflect on your personal perceptions of those issues. The same goes for the smoking kid campaign. It showed that all of the smokers knew why smoking was harmful and being handed the brochure caused them all to reflect on their actions. <br>The campaign about listening to people who don't look like you seems outdated and like less of a health issue to me. I would lose it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I would lose the heart disease campaign because the message seems to be victim-blaming and does not give any suggestions to help someone improve their cardiovascular health. It does grab the attention of the audience by conveying a simple and straightforward message. <br>I would use the appearance campaign has a strong and clear message at the beginning and uses an emotional tone to the message.<br>I would adapt the drinking ad. It is effective as it shows the repercussion of binge drinking, but I feel it should include a statement like "Drink responsibly" so the audience knows what actions they can take to prevent it. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the mental health and binge drinking posters are good; but I would probably adapt them. I  think the mental health poster should use a bigger font for the part that says "imagine if we treated everyone like we treat those with mental illness" because this is actually the main message of the campaign but people walking by this poster might not take the time to read that small font and understand the message. The binge drinking poster uses the fear tactic which may be effective, but they should also include further details on the health risks or information on where to go to obtain help with drinking problems. I would lose the second poster; I think the message is important but they only use a picture of "one type" of person and it can be considered stereotypical and offensive. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe the binge drinking and mental health posters are good. I don't think I would want to change anything to those posters. They both grab peoples attention. <br>I would lose the heart disease poster because it is an aggressive approach. Many heart diseases are genetic and are out of peoples control. For the poster to say that people with heart disease are just lazy is cruel and demeaning. Not only does it victim blame but it also spreads false information therefore potentially leading to stigma.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Poster # 1 is not effective at all because the written slogan I find offensive therefore its a lose.</div><div> </div><div>Poster # 2 I would use. The message for me is both clear and strong. I like that its not a glamour photo using a generic prototype model. The picture is eye-catching, would grab attention and the message is real. Individuals should not have to conform to the small-minds and limitations of others to be considered or seen as valuable.</div><div> </div><div>Poster # 3 For me is a definite lose. I don’t care for the image at all. I know shocking photos such as these have been (perhaps still used) to scare and shock teenagers about the realities of drug and alcohol abuse however; with all the gruesome images all over social media, this type of out dated photo know longer resonates like it would have done 15+ years ago. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the binge drinking and mental health poster are good. I don't think I would change anything about them. The images that were used get your attention and conveys the message that they want to get across. I would lose the heart disease poster because I feel that the message it conveys is negative. It makes the person reading the poster feel bad and that they are lazy. The message is harsh and does not give any information on how they can help the audience with heart disease. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Poster 1: I think this poster is very harsh at the initial glance and some people could take offence to it. Once looking closer at the smaller font underneath do you get the message. I think this would be better received in a different media outlet, like a commercial where there is a scenario, visuals, and dialogue to get the message across.<br><br>Poster 2: I like poster 2 and the message it effectively gets across. To not judge a book by its cover. I maybe would adapt it to suit more modern appearances (it's more of a early 2000s look)<br><br>Poster 3: Initially I liked poster 3 because it is very impactful. Then I thought of our class discussions on how fear does not equal permanent behaviour change, and that is only temporary.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I liked 1 and 3 because they got my attention, and made me uncomfortable, which to me makes them successful because I felt something! And, the message is pretty clear 1) Mental health is a real issue, 3) Drinking games are dumb.<br>Measuring their efficacy would be challenging though. I think the best they can do is bring awareness 2 on the other hand, just left me confused. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The posters had messages about health issues and important topic information to discuss. I believe the poster number one was not effective in the way they used their message, first there was no picture or symbols so it was not universal language and for some people it must be hard to interpreter the message if they do not understand the context.The second poster I think is very complete in the way to inform about discrimination, they have an image that is not abusive and also clear message , I would defiantly use the poster.The third poster had strong picture  witch in my opinion could cause attention from the viewers but I  would adapt the writing message because in my understanding it brings a duplicate message.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The first poster just shows the stigma some people have about people with heart disease, that they use this illness as an excuse. I would definitely not use this, I don't even know what this post would have been used for. I think poster 2 is the best one, it is clear and straight to the point and at the same time being respectful. Poster 3 seems to be going in the right direction but shows barely any empathy for the person portrayed, I guess its aimed more at getting the message across using fear.</div>]]></description>
