Why does it take so long to get an appointment with a specialist?

849 viewsOther

How is this a thing when there are conditions that could likely get drastically worse in between the symptoms showing and the actual appointment date? And also people getting no assurance it’s not something life threatening causing extra anxiety and stress?

I have no expertise in economics or the medical industry so I’d appreciate any insights.

If your family doctor has 1,000 patients they see every once in a while it is not long before they can see you. If 1,000 doctors each have 1 patient a month to see a specialist there is not enough time in a month to see them all and possibly also have to do surgery.
