No, the put the woke crap in there but nothing says you have to comply and fill it out. My Dr. I've been seeing for the last 10 years sent me new forms to fill out in an e-mail. I started filling it out and when it got to "Which pronouns do you prefer" I stopped filling it out and hit delete.
Just fill out what you think is pertinent and not play their game if this is a new Dr. and not someone you've been seeing for a while.

Well that’s because you are a liar with some of the most retarded political takes possible so that makes perfect sense

A GP Doctor takes forever..
That's because General Practitioners are fast becoming a thing of the past.with most Drs. now specializing in a particular field.

It’s not just specialization. In my area, GP’s are being replaced by nurse practitioners at an astonishing rate.

Only weird things get scheduled way out for me.
Having a colonoscopy done in the morning. 3 months.
Usually I can get in to my GP same day or next day using the Novant app to schedule my own appts.

You need to find yourself one of those concierge doctors.
Unfortunately this is the way forward if you want quick personalized care.

Almost every doctor I see has a nurse practitioner on staff and unless it's absolutely necessary to see the Dr. for a specific reason, the NP is the one that handles the visit.

That's why you see all these walk-in clinics popping up everywhere. Takes too long to get an appointment with a general practitioner.

How exactly does this work? I’m sure they have been around for a while in other areas, but I just saw an add for Ochsner the other day offering this service.

Walked in a clinic yesterday at 8:45 and was out at 9:15 and spoke to a Dr. Maybe it’s a location thing, wasn’t a specialist though
Posted on 6/12/24 at 5:32 pm to LivingstonLaw
I can get in to see my gp within a couple days.
Specialists are another matter. I’ve had to wait 2 weeks for an ENT.

My PCP is easy to book. My specialist are a long wait.
Especially my 2nd nephrologist and my dermatologist. My cardiologist isn't that bad. And wound care I see every other week. (Leg calciphylaxis that's 70%healed now, was so bad they had me on oxycontin)

If I need an ortho, I go straight to BROC and it's usually a quick turnaround
I've been there 6 times over years for joint scopes/drainings/shots.
Two weeks ago was first time there in years. I waited an hour for my x-rays.....
Because I forgot to check in at radiology when I walked around from the check in counter.
They are pretty damned awesome there.

frick doctors.
I see a nurse practitioner in Prairieville who is excellent. Can see her usually next day and if my appt is at 9, she is in the exam room at 9.
frick these places you have to wait months. Also frick these places you sit there for hours before being seen. Including hours past appointment time. I don’t have time for that shite.

You could always make an appt with one of those quack Osteopaths that most hypochondriacs seem to prefer.
