In my country its a bit similar in the way that if you have a smaller illness it can be difficult to get an appointment. Like I lived in the capital and tried to get a doctors appointment for insomnia but the local hospital told me they only see the available times for 6 weeks and none are available. It was the only time I tried to get an appointment there, since I was generally very healthy.
Then we moved to a suburb to the next city, about 25 minute drive away. Here I've had zero problems getting appointments. What we need to do is call to the health centre between 8am and 10am and they'll call back before noon and either ask me to go talk to the nurse (maybe an hours wait) or then they give me a time to the doctor which is usually for the following day.
With wegs its a bit different, when I was released from the hospital they wanted to send me to some rheumy clinic. The following week after I got from the hospital they checked the situation again and found out they were unable to accept new patients, so I was asked back to the nose-ear-throat hospital where I'm treated and won't see a rheumy. They do the best they can, and my doctor is very nice and she seems smart. Of course its sad that wegs isn't one of her specialities though, but she does consult specialists. Dunno if there is anything I can do, or should try. I only have phone times for her, saw her in Aug and next appointment is in October but they monitor my blood every two weeks and call me with the results.
