Why is it so hard to schedule an appointment with a specialist? I’ve had a wrist injury for a couple months but it’s at least a month before I can see my doc who specializes in hands and arms. And why can’t there be a teleheth appt to take care of all the inevitable basic questions and likely necessary X-rays/MRIs etc? So inefficient.
