I am so sorry to read this. I wish I could do something to help. Here in the US we are overwhelmed with physicians, but, even then, it is hard to get an appointment. And here at the great Vanderbilt University Hospital, we are only seen in in 15 minute intervals. More and more wealthy people are going to concierge medicine, leaving the rest of us out. Truly I am glad to be 80 so I won’t have to put up with this for much longer. Good luck in your journey. I am so sorry to have nothing to say to comfort you. What a rotten shame.

@dollyjaneprenzel ah Dolly.,.. yes we have seen so many changes over our lives, I am 83 this year. My last dr was ten minutes then he would stand up and say times over ..... I did watch a tv show a dr whose dad was a dr years ago and spent too many hours at his practice, then visiting patients in hospital, then on call weekends and nights: so I get it that drs now see it as a "job" but many of our medical places are closing Fridays for a long weekend, or go on vacation without finding someone to take calls etc. as they used to... For me I can pay $20 a see a dr on Zoom/computer and get prescription/xray req etc. but its just not the same as having a "Family Dr" isit. I too wish you the best Dolly.
