We sometimes think this only happens here in the US...also occurs up north...BD 

WHEN Sue MacKinnon heard a doctor at a St. James clinic was accepting new patients, she jumped at the chance to find a physician close to home.

MacKinnon went to the clinic and filled out a form detailing her medical history, including her Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and chronic sleep disorder. Weeks later, MacKinnon found out she didn't make the cut -- the physician rejected her as a patient because of her health troubles.

"I got a letter saying that I had too many medical problems," said MacKinnon, 51.  "I was too complicated to take."
