In fact the doctors office was just like one on TV, filled all smiling helpful staff. Between health and travel insurance, I think everything was covered. If only I could find an appropriate family doctor now we are back in Australia... Good luck with your appointment on Friday I hope it works out.

Hope your appointment on Friday works out for you. If it doesn't, could you find an Urgent Care/Prompt Care type place to go? Your co-pay may be cheaper and the wait might not be as bad.

If you live in a town where the doctors want patients it seems like you can get in no problems. Heaven forbid you move to a town where the doctors have more patients than they know what to do with. You get rudely treated, sort of like trying to get in to a great restaurant without knowing anybody. No answers, but I hear you, best of luck.
