[quote=Anonymous]It’s not just kids or people needing psychologists who are waiting. Below are some  waits that I or people in my family and social network have experienced:
-Three weeks to see a Kaiser primary care doctor for a follow-up only the have the doc cancel two days before and not be able to reschedule for another three weeks out.
-An in-office treatment that a patient used to receive every 4-6 weeks is now available every eight weeks and requires two phone calls and “squeezing in” to arrange.
-Twelve-week wait times for cardiac MRIs and cardiac PET/CT scans at Washington Hospital Center
-Four-month waits to see a rheumatologist as a new patient
-Three-month waits to see an endocrinologist as a new patient
-MedStar mental health practitioners aren’t accepting new patients, so MedStar referring physicians are telling patients to consult the Psychology Today directory.
-A 240 day wait for a neuropsychological exam to assess post-Covid cognitive challenges

It’s exhausting to try to seek medical care since the pandemic began.[/quote]
