Wait times for doctor’s appointments at all-time high
Рет қаралды 4,381
20 күн бұрынIn the nation’s 15 largest cities, it takes nearly a month to see a new physician or heart doctor, and more than a month to see an OB/GYN. For some specialists, the wait is even longer. NBC News’ Dana Griffin has more on why wait times are surging and speaks with one doctor who says the situation is a crisis.

This is not ok. A year out for some appointments, six months for others. I have been told to go to urgent care if I want to see someone. It needs to be fixed.

Doctors are overstretched. I'm not in America but I've never gone to see a doctor since 2001. When i get sick i know the medication i need and will go to the nearest pharmacist. I hardly do check ups.

@@ChrisTopherBunnell huh?? excuse me?? i said nothing about the VA. and civilians and veterans should both have highquality healthcare period. veterans shouldn't have to wait 6 months, and rural civilians shouldn't have to wait 15 months. it isn't a sympathy competition you can pipe down sir, did you take you anti-psychotics?

Oh wait, thanks to Biden's VA, I now have the option to go to my preferred provider if the VA slows down again.

Paperwork? Is she kidding? Here’s a thought, hire help. This is an excuse. Even before ACA, my doctor kept me waiting weeks before I could see him. In the case of the specialist in this little girls case, her GP should have insisted that the specialist make an except to see her.
@joey5532 17 күн бұрын
she's not kidding. You are obviously no doctor or have a phd of any kind so you couldn't understand, because if you did, you would know only doctors/providers can write and sign charts on patients they examined.
