My wife went to her doctor in San Diego Tue afternoon before Thanksgiving because of abdominal pains, he recommended and arranged for a CAT scan Wednesday and it was done Saturday 3 days later and right smack in the mid of the Thanksgiving weekend. She picked up the films Monday, went back to Germany Tuesday and underwent 5.5 hours of emergency surgery Wednesday afternoon there. An heliobacter pylori infection of the transversal colon was detected and 2 feet of it including the curvature next to the descending colon removed. Within same 5.5 hours this highly skilled surgeon even succeeded in reconnecting the 2 ends of her colon. The root cause not found, she has a history of auto immune problems, which may be an explanation. Taro

This is a crock. While US waiting times are growing, I could easily see a dermatologist here within days, not weeks. Same is true for any specialty I might need. My sister-in-law recently saw a spine doctor in the morning who referred her for an MRI -- which she received the SAME afternoon. Try THAT in Canada. The fastest I have gotten an appt. with a doctor in a city that is heavy with MDs is a month. And that's the exception not the rule. My sister wanted an eye exam.....she thought she might need glasses.....it took her 2 1/2 months to get in. She lives in NH. Its a common complaint except apparently with you.
