Getting a potential answer right away is certainly temping over waiting weeks to get an appointment

[hermanzegerman]

You have to wait weeks to be seen by a family doctor?

[hephaes7us]

If the GP can handle my problem, I probably didn't need to go to the doctor anyway. A lot of care is done by specialists, and it can _easily_ take weeks or months to get an appointment with one. This is strongly dependent on one's insurance network though.

In the uk, yes.

And then 6⁺ months to be seen be a specialist.

[cyral]

Yes, in my area if you need to find a new doctor you literally can't. This is a major city. The online booking for any major hospital network literally shows no results because the next appointment would be 90+ days out. If you have an existing relationship maybe you can get in in two weeks.

In the US, yes.
