101Healthcare: How Long Do Patients Have To Wait?
DroggelbecherWait is it normal to need an appointment for a GP visit?
I mean, in Australia it is, although you can usually get one the same day/next day. Not sure where the 4 days comes from. The 21 days from the US is just madness tho, if accurate. By the time you see the doctor whatever you had had either passed or has killed you.
I didn’t think these are “sick visits”. I’m in the US and can see my GP within a day if I’m sick, but scheduling a physical will be much further out.
I can't get a sick visit in a day. within a few days maybe. they tell me to go to urgent care if its that bad which is possible same day but not your primary care who knows you medical history.
YMMV. Only speaking from my experience. Even a “few days” is better than the 21 shown in the graph.
well and actually my wife has a lot of issues and so it is not a physical but is not a virus. long term things that have to be worked out and she is lucky to get those within a month. Actually even emergency room they say to follow up with primary care and that can be like a month. and it was the effing emergency room. oh and specialiasts are pants with any follow up here, especially with complications.
