I have read there is a shortage of doctors and nurses to begin with, and now with COVID, they are booked pretty solid for 3 or more months. I am glad we didn’t wait to see our Cardiologist for 2 weeks because I do believe my husband was very sick and we went to the ER. There they take all kinds of tests and you get answers in a few hours - not 2 weeks later. Then the hospital has a record of what the patient is having issues with, enabling them to decide what tests to take and what needs to be done.
