      depends, are you okay with waiting seven months for actual help?

      i got a herniated disc a few years ago and while i did get something for the pain after a few weeks, by the time i got booked for an mri it had healed on its own.

        That’s hilarious. I (USA) need an endocrinologist. Best appointment I can get is January.

          yeah, I (USA) have been trying to get in to see this internal medicine specialist in Stockton for five years now. His wait list is that long.

          We have a professional relationship as well so i know he’s not just blowing me off, but i’m getting tired boss. I think he’s just triaged me to the end of the list (i survived this long) until I tell them I’m out of patience.

        Keep in mind that waiting for 7 months is better than not going at all. lol
        Many Americans sinply don’t go unless it’s an emergency.
