The web page you will refresh
Frantically refreshing the Rendez-vous santé Québec (RVSQ) web page is an essential strategy for parents. This is until an appointment becomes available. “I refresh the page every 30 seconds,” confides Delphine Gingras. This way, she always manages to get an appointment in a clinic located a reasonable distance from her home, “regarding 15 to 20 minutes by car, taxi or public transport.” In certain cases, she opts for the Info-Santé pediatric line at 811, where the nurse can direct her to a pharmacy, a CLSC, a doctor or the emergency room.
You will leave your cell phone
With her two young children, Paule Bodson-Clermont is a regular at medical appointments. By refreshing the RVSQ page, she sees an average of 10 appointments appear per hour. However, by the time the form was completed, the appointment was often assigned to another patient. “With a computer and a mouse, rather than a phone, you save microseconds which allow you to win over other people. This is our strategy,” she confides.
At night you will get up
Stéphanie Ouimet did not hesitate to log on during the night to get her hands on a medical appointment. The pediatric clinic near her home releases availability for the next day at midnight. This is how she recently managed to get a medical appointment the next morning. Each medical clinic makes a certain number of appointments available on the Rendez-vous santé Québec platform at specific times, which vary from one establishment to another. For example, the 3000 Medical Clinic in Montreal publishes its appointments at 7 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. the day before for a consultation the next day. And parents are clear: to succeed in getting an appointment, you have to refresh the page exactly on the minute.
Clic Santé you will avoid
For a public medical appointment, the Clic Santé platform is not recommended. Making public appointments on Clic Santé mainly concerns vaccination, samples, blood tests and urine tests, lists Clic Santé spokesperson Sophie Villeneuve. “But the majority of medical appointments with doctors are not on Clic Santé,” she explains. In the private sector, however, the choices are numerous, but expensive. At the College Canada Health Center, a general medical consultation costs $225. For a minor emergency, such as nasal congestion, sore throat, cough or ear pain, parents must pay $185 at Flowrence Outremont and $250 at the Elna Medical Clinic. Several medical appointments for toddlers are also offered remotely. This is the case of Eden Telemed, which charges $149 per virtual consultation.
Astrology you will consider
“What’s the trick to [obtenir] an appointment on RVSQ? Should I make an offering on a full moon night? », joked Kim P Brouillette in the Facebook group Les Mamans de Villeray et Petite-Patrie this week. “The stars must be aligned with the planets and perform the incantation of no appointment,” replied a member of the group. Her post attracted around twenty comments from moms. Thanks to the advice she received, she managed to get her hands on an appointment at the UP pediatric emergency center in Saint-Eustache on the Bonjour Santé platform. Although she managed to obtain one this time, she is saddened by the end of the “One call, one appointment” line service which allowed Montreal parents to quickly obtain a medical consultation. “I don’t understand why they took it away. It was the best thing for the parents. »
