I am afraid it is getting that way in many places, including Mayo in MN. I have been patient at Mayo my entire life and for first time I am having to wait months for appointments. The worse is imaging tests. I had wait over 2 months for an ultrasound of neck. I have friends who have had similar experience. But, at least I can get an appointment, even if have to wait.

As population increases and ages, there are not enough providers and medical technicians to handle everyone. Many people retired during COVID and medical institutions are having hard time finding qualified people to replace them.

Not sure what solution is.
