If a person does find a second GP, by the time the new tests and referrals to specialists are completed, you may already be dead. -Ill And Very Scared

Yes, and?
Welcome to socialized medicine.
The fastest route to the diagnosis of an acute condition is the emerge. Bring a book, a blanket, some snacks and your patience (no pun intended).
Try a walk-in clinic. Just of luck with your illness.
I’m with SW – go to your closest ER and explain your situation. Good luck, OP, we’re rooting for you.
Walk in clinics don’t give out doctors notes for anything. I only know this because i got sick of trying to find a family doctor and I just use walk ins these days.

The quack who helped kill the King of Pap is taking new patients. Perhaps he can prescribe Bieber something a little more potent than cough syrup, so then there”ll be one less lonely wigger.

Too many doctors at walk in clinics will prescribe narcotics to patients they never met before, though.
There you go with your bullshit again, WAC. Almost all walk in clinics have signs saying they do not prescribe narcotics or benzos in the clinic and I can guarantee the clinics all have this policy in place. To even get a prescription for a low dose of ativan at the ER, you need a consult with a doctor and a mental health nurse with some very probing evaluation.
I think you’re mixing up ‘doctors’ with ‘neighbourhood drug dealer.’
Is there ANYTHING you won’t make uninformed and uneducated generalizations on?
