Yeah I have heard many many first hand anecdotes of people needing to schedule appointments months in advance
certain health care facilities. i know for things like medi-caid/care it can be weeks to months in advance to see a specialist. they usually are quite fast in scheudling though. if anyone had kaiser, you can see a doctor quite quickly.
ALso URGENT care is a thing. i can see that for private practices, or doctors that Are swamped because of short staffing.
Yeah. I had crippling inflammation and it took months to get into a rheumatologist.
True. Even my primary care doctor needs 3 months advance scheduling to find me a slot.
