MedLetter vs BC Walk-In Clinics for Sick Notes
BC walk-in clinics have 2-4 hour average wait times, and many are closing due to the doctor shortage. Here's how MedLetter compares.
BC's healthcare system is in crisis - over 1 million residents don't have a family doctor, and walk-in clinics are closing across the province. If you can find an open clinic, you'll wait 2-4 hours. MedLetter bypasses this entirely. Same CPSBC-registered physicians, same legally valid documentation, delivered to your inbox in hours instead of requiring half a day at a clinic.
Advantages of MedLetter: No 2-4 hour wait in a crowded BC waiting room. No risk of catching something worse while you're already sick. No driving or transit when you feel terrible. Available from anywhere in BC - even remote communities. BC's doctor shortage means many clinics are closing - MedLetter is always available. Digital PDF you can email directly to your employer or school. Available 24/7 - submit anytime, day or night. Flat $49 fee (many clinics charge $20-40 for notes on top of MSP). Same CPSBC-registered physicians as walk-in clinics. Over 1 million British Columbians don't have a family doctor - MedLetter fills the gap.
