“social care navigators”, to guide you through the BS.
ain’t socialize medicine grand?
a FIVE MONTH waiting list to see the doctor?
But it’s free, free, free*.
*Except you are paying for it through your taxes so it’s not really *free* after all.
It’s not far from that here - I can get into my Dr’s NP the next day - but to see the Dr herself for a short visit is 3 months, physicals booked out at least 6 months.
Your sh!t’s f***ed up and you talk like a f&&

“Patient’ was interviewed by doctor on computer screen.
12-15 minutes TOTAL.
Bill was $550.
I saw PA’s at Northwestern before and after my transplant for regular testing and check-ups, and I see a NP at another office, and she is highly knowledgeable.
Becoming a PA, it’s two years of experience in the medical field plus two years of schooling. It was a career I had considered.
A good NP is the first line of defense in medicine these days. Not everything needs an MD
Just fire 85% of the NHS bureaucracy, and use their salaries to pay for more physicians.
My son is a Nurse Practitioner and prior a nurse and combat medic. He can start an IV while under fire. That is not easy.
He is not a doctor but a most skilled provider of medical care as I a clinical pharmacist.
The vast majority of the day to day medical needs can be handled by a person such as my son. If he can not do it he picks up the phone and says, “Doc I need some help with this patient.” It is stupid to have a doctor take care of the day to day medical problems. My son can do it at about half the cost of the doc.
This is good medicine!
