Everyone should be a "Priority Patient". or at least treated like one.
Similar thing happened to me years back. I had some and of lump on my neck. It was big enough be visually noticeable. Smart me took a picture of it. I went to my Doc who referred me to a specialist. Tried to make an appt. but was given one 2 or 3 months later due to being booked up. By the time my appt. came around, the lump was gone. Luckily I had the pic to show him. His words to me were " Now that you have been here once, you are in the system. So if it comes back, we will get you right in." A lot of good that did me. Luckily , it never came back.
I understand that few medical visits are routine, and har hard to predict the duration. But there has to be a better way.
