... to a new doctor. My sister told me to try another specialist. It's their doctor too. The clinic staff did not respond to calls since Saturday and I understand that because they don't have work at weekends. If today's schedule is fully booked, I hope tommorow is available.

We have to book at least a few clinic days before we can get an appointment, then we have to be early at the hospital because of the preparation / interviews before letting us go inside the hospital

Getting an appointment with doctors nowadays is really a big hassle. Even hospital admissions is very tedious. I wonder how many emergency cases have resulted into deaths because of the very long processes to be undergone.

That's true. It's not good to get illness this time. The processes will just add the stress.

It is getting harder and harder to get a doctor's appointment with this pandemic. Unless it is an absolute emergency, we might be looking for weeks if not months for non-emergency doctor's appointments. I do understand that there are those who need the immediate care more than the rest of us do, but I also feel bad for our healthcare workers who have been working long hours since last year. Hopefully this year the situation will improve greatly.

I did but it's an evening appointment. I'll be at the clinic before 8. Thankfully.
