Pooling and Sharing of wealth make everyone's wealth grow faster

Waiting a few weeks for a GP appointment is normal everywhere. And it was far better in London before Brexit. The significant factor actually being the defunding of NHS that has happened over the past decade.

My non-emergency care in London is still excellent. It was better ten years ago.

Yes I'd like to get an appointment within a few days but even with my excellent private insurance outside of the UK it's a few weeks wait. GPs aren't sitting around waiting for customers anywhere in the world.

I cant believe this actually happens.

Here in Mexico you can schedule a private GP for the next 3 pr 4 days if you want to pay.

If it's a very minor thing, you can go to most pharmacies and a most likely recent medical graduate will be giving free consultations same day, with at most 15 min wait. (The last time I went the doctor was a Venezuelan medic with great credentials).

Or if you REALLY want to spoil, go to doctoralia.com and schedule a specialist for maybe $60 usd , with reviews and available schedule (usually within a week).
