    I have seen many specialists in my lifetime due to my heart condition and this is by FAR the WORST doctor I have encountered. Not only is she disrespectful of her patients' time, she is extremely condescending and rude. Dr. Blackwell treats her patients as inferior, do not expect respect form her. She does not have a grain of compassion in her body — she has left me incredibly uncomfortable under her care. Please do not see this horrible and unkind doctor. Doctors like her make me question the responsibility of Canada’s healthcare system. I cannot express the urgency for her to be monitored and reevaluated as soon as possible.

    I was referred to Dr. Blackwell years ago by my GP. I came all the way from a small town in Northern BC. Her office gave me the month and time I was scheduled to see Dr. Blackwell. I waited for 7 months. I took the plane to Vancouver, booked a hotel 1 day before my appointment with her. I was there 1/2 hour early. I took a cab just so I won't get lost in a big city and be there in her clinic on time. When I finally saw her, it was no longer than 10 minutes only for her to say, " I'd better see a cardiologist somewhere else." This was the truth and not an exaggeration. She was heartless and never even took my blood pressure or took the names of the blood pressure pills I was given by my GP and she never asked to send me for another round of tests given that it was 7 months ago that I had an appointment with her. Doctors like Blackwell must be monitored by our Canada Health Care Act. These doctors graduated from the medical field with no more than the Social Philosophy course they took and no longer cared if that one of the most important components of their profession. I would our health system to impose a survey of every specialist there is given the months of wait time, the location of the patients' geographical origins in each province and the gravity or urgency of a patients' conditions. General Medical doctors, in good faith refer patients because these doctors have just not take the specialization involved to analyze and treat certain serious medical conditions. The GP's are paid less than the specialist and specialists must take time to earn the money paid to them by our health care. But above the payment comes the value that is attached to a profession. Would you rate good a plumber who will charge you a call in fee and would do less than what Home Depot consultant already told you? The analogy is not very smart, even seemed pointless but my point is doctors like her should face consequences and they don't. Fast-forward the years; I got a good medical advice, a combination of medicines from a struggling medical specialist in the outskirts of the Northern part of BC and the follow up of a real committed family doctor. Blackwell has not served my purpose, has not claimed a worthy insurance claim on my behalf and became a contributing nerd in our health care system’s failure. Doctors like Blackwell should be evaluated. Health Care Canada is already spending billions of dollars on health care dealing with wait times, lack of enough practitioners, etc. Has it even occurred to our legislators that part of the problem might be the specialists themselves who don’t do a good job? Has it ever occurred to our government that patients go on a parade to one specialist to another because these specialists fail their patients? What would the GP’s do? Refer the patient to another specialized doctor. How many times has it occurred?

    This doctor is very nasty. She doesn't tolerate questions. She will time your visitation no more than 5 minutes. This doctor is only using patients as a source of income, so that she can bill MSP
