That's for who is in my health insurance network. I couldn't even think of looking for someone outside of it. Because the huge bills would make my heart much worse, guaranteed.
@ai6yr Thank you private equity. 🥰
@ai6yr wait is this for your sinus issue??
Because if that’s not cleared up by March, I think you have bigger problems
@ai6yr So sorry 😢
My husband has been dealing with similar wait times for the past few years while dealing with GI problems.
(Note to anyone reading this: I'm not asking for advice, lots of details I'm not willing to share)
@ai6yr Pretty normal up here. Last January, after sitting on hold FOR AN HOUR with UW to make an appointment to see my doctor for a yearly checkup, I was told that they were booking July appointments, but they didn't have their July schedule yet, so if I could call back in a couple of weeks, they could book me for July or August or Sept. I ended up calling Planned Parenthood & got an appointment for 2 weeks out, they did all labs too.
@ai6yr Sounds like dermatology, unless you tell them you have a tumor, then they are pretty quick.
@ai6yr public Healthcare in Trinidad and Tobago has 3 to 6 month wait times i know of. Plenty of trouble hidden in that system that hides malpractice with settlements.
People with health insurance or pay cash have weeks sometimes in private institutions. The quality of Healthcare approaches mediocrity in the US and costs less.
So, between the two, no clear winner. I would say comparable.
But T&T is at most 1/175th the size with significantly lower gdp.
*cough*
wow. i've gotten used to 2 months on average. must be cheaper to just reduce staff and wait for you to heal or die. your choice. always ER roulette for $10k.
@ai6yr My wife currently waiting until May for a rheumatologist appointment.
@ai6yr
I'm on a wait list to see a cardiologist after my ectocardiogram results showed a very slight murmur.
A wait list. For one of the things that keeps me alive.
