Oh my, I'm sure if I could cry, I would now.
Can't get appointed here with a PCP until June.
Tried to appoint with a neuro. Nope, there isn't one on the coast. Go 60 miles over the mountains to Portland. (Don't have a car.) But first ya gotta get referred through PCP.
Same with other specialists. Gee, I may get 'tended to ' by next winter at this rate?
My friend led me to think it was a progressive area with a fine healthcare system.
No neurologist, no psychiatrist unless ya go over the mountains 60 miles to the big city.
Oh, but ya need that referral from the PCP that you can't see until June ... so maybe get in the neuro in August or September?? I just want to cry and go home where it's warm!
Thanks for the vent!
