    I think this is the difference between people living in super populated areas, and more rural ones. I have no issue getting a close appointment in Ohio, but it’s much more difficult in Los Angeles (w/o going to the ER).

      For immediate concerns that you don’t schedule if your primary care is busy you go to walk in clinics.

      There’s options in those areas since they understand the need for them.

        Yeah that’s the way to go. Not sure I knew that was an option at the time

          It’s weird, here there’s walk ins that also double as primary care, there’s walkins that just do that, and there’s primary care that just do that.

          So I always knew about walkins as my doctor did both. If he was booked I could go as a walk-in and maybe see them, or it would be another doctor.
