I wait six months for a routine checkup -- but that's 'cause I have a really popular doctor. I'm probably the exception. That 6 months for a Pap could be an exception as well. My customers are almost all very busy physicians. Not ONE would have to put a patient off for months, even on a routine physical. Not one. A family practice doctor who can't work in a physical within a few weeks isn't just busy -- he has other problems. In the United States, that is.
