    3 months?! That’s impressive. I’m waiting until December for an appointment I’ve needed since March.

      One time I had to schedule a doctor’s appointment so far in advance that by the time my appointment was coming up, I knew it was going to conflict with my final exams. The semester hadn’t started when I made the appointment. When I rescheduled, it was going to be another five months. So I said fuck that, and that was nearly two years ago. Not sure what the answer is supposed to be.

      And our mental health services are horrid too. A friend has been on one guy’s waiting list for a couple years. They finally were just recommended a few other therapists and have been on their waiting list for a few months, though maybe soon…

      when I needed a new PCP because I finally got insurance after a decade of just hoping nothing went too badly wrong, I ended up having to wait 8 months after 3 local practices weren’t accepting new patients at all.
