@[email protected] That requires providers to spend more then 5 minutes with the patient and possible labs which costs money. For profit corps ain't got time for that shit.....gotta keep cutting headcount and increasing patients per doc to keep those profits coming in for the c suite. I mean right now it takes 3-6 months for me to get in to see a dermatologist. And that is just general checkups. If I had an emergency at least 1-2 months.
