[discussion] Trying to Get Primary Care with Half Hour Appt Times

I’ve sought healthcare from various providers, and noticed that they usually offer half hour appointment times. That is not nearly enough time to discuss a complex chronic condition. That’s not enough time to discuss most health concerns, in my opinion.

I think major healthcare companies are trying to cut costs and cram in as many appointments as possible in a day, but I don’t think that’s an effective approach to delivering quality care.

I sent one primary care physician a comprehensive summary of my experience with Long Covid so far. I included my symptoms, medications I’ve already tried, and medications I’m interested in trying. I also included lab work and x-ray information, as well as vaccine info.

Hopefully that will make my next appointment much less stressful for me and the doctor. If I hadn’t sent a written summary, we would probably spend half an hour just discussing my symptoms and previous healthcare experiences.

I continuously use Vick’s in my nose, and now I have chest pain [Question - Other]

PutVicks in my nose, will I be ok? (been doing it for years just now realizing it’s harmful and lately I’ve felt pressure in my chest but the doctors say I’m ok. I’m pretty scared, and I’m only 13)
