I've started going over the doctors' heads and appeal to the specialists directly. Most are booked till October or even next year, but if someone cancels, you could be seen almost immediately. Like the eye trauma specialist, no openings. Oh, look, can you be here in 3 hours?

Score!
This must be what it feels like to be rich. Make a call, see doctor, no problems. Get referrals (Bonus)

I've been waiting over 2 years. My family is dying. The right doctors can help. But don't, won't?

This is inhumane treatment. Hoarding the answers as we fade away. Making us look stupid and lazy.

Because one can't actually see our blood deoxygenating, the nurses chat with friends about these lazy, puffy women with low pain tolerance.

"In this economy?" Sighs a nurse.
