It took a surprisingly quick 3 month wait to get set up with a GP, had a 15 minute appointment where I barely was able to address 1 of my 3 major heath problems, and came out of it without a concrete treatment plan. Now it's been a month of phone tag following up, still no action. And I am expecting to get "why did you wait so long to get all of this looked at", "why didn't you tell us" next time I go in there.
I would love medical care. I would love to not just suck it up and suffer every day. I just don't know what I can even do at this point. I try to be kind and thoughtful and understanding of what's going on in their world, but I guess you have to get assertive at some point or something? It's not in my nature to be aggressive like that and they're already going through enough, but I don't feel I have a choice.
