I don't know if this was mentioned, on last nights news a piece was done on the shortage of doctors. They said that in the coming years, the shortages will become even worse. They talked about primary doctors but my thought is that specialists too, will be a factor. I needed an app't here with a gastroenterologist and the wait was 6 months. My primary told me it's becoming difficult to find specialists. NOT sure if Covid was a factor, but before the plague---app'ts were easier to get. I guess primaries (depending on the issues at hand) will have to put in a "stat" with getting their patients in with specialists. Snow-birds here, often wait until they here to make app'ts too, I've heard, so they can recouperate when it's warm.
