Has anyone been prescribed EB-N5?

Problem these days is getting in to see anyone, at least at the University of Colorado. They seem to be short on physicians, and many appointments take months to arrange, especially in such fields as neurology, but even primary care can not take up to a month for an appointment, even for a tele-health-visit. They can be very good, and are knowledgeable since they teach as well as practice with patients. Lordy, the health care system is in trouble, and in part we can blame insurance companies who drive physicians crazy with paper work. I think a lot of doctors with some money and closer to retirement age gave up around Covid-time. BTW, we have Medicare and AARP's United Health Care Plan G which allows us to go anywhere that takes Medicare; we still have some doctors outside the university system, but slowly they are going away.

Not only losing physicians, but the clinics are more and more outsourcing functions not directly related to patient care. For example. my dermatologist's office has recently outsourced its phone service. In the past, I could call, and after sitting quietly through the unavoidable " … some of our menu options have changed" message, I would be put through to the front desk and get to speak to a living person. All that's changed. Now I have to dial an 800 number and leave a request with a robotic repository for a callback––a callback that never seems to come.
