I’ve never had an issue of getting a doctor appointment within a couple of weeks. Dentists are the only one that keeps the very regular rhythm, and a have multiple reminders within the three weeks before so I can get time off.
As I go to a lot of hard rock/metal shows every year, I’ve grown to dislike the idea of assigned seating and prefer to stand. Most are also lesser known, so I tend to be able to get my tickets the week of, if not the day before.
Not 6+ months out why tf would I have to wait 6 months for a Dr’s appointment?? The only thing I schedule that far in advance is a holiday at a destination that takes longer than 5 hours to drive to.
I used to live like that, then I moved to a big city. Literally any event you want to go to is sold out six months to a year in advance. You have to make plans or you’ll never be able to attend anything. Even good restaurants are booked solid for 3 weeks. You either make reservations for next month, or you slip them $50 at the hostess station for a chance to eat, which is wasteful and douchey.
I think this is the difference between people living in super populated areas, and more rural ones. I have no issue getting a close appointment in Ohio, but it’s much more difficult in Los Angeles (w/o going to the ER).
By not having so many events I need to schedule them 6 months out. You should give it a try, works wonders.
So you don’t schedule any doctor appointments and never buy tickets to concerts or other events in the future? Huh…
Or vacations? Or family events? Or camping trips with friends? Music festivals? Conferences? Presentations, working group meetings, etc. for work?
I usually book things less than a month in advance.

For immediate concerns that you don’t schedule if your primary care is busy you go to walk in clinics.
There’s options in those areas since they understand the need for them.
Yeah that’s the way to go. Not sure I knew that was an option at the time
It’s weird, here there’s walk ins that also double as primary care, there’s walkins that just do that, and there’s primary care that just do that.
So I always knew about walkins as my doctor did both. If he was booked I could go as a walk-in and maybe see them, or it would be another doctor.

A dermatologist. It’s impossible to see one in less than six months.
Really? I started seeing one within a week but I live in a rural mountain town.
