[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PCP office booked us for Dec. We asked for a quicker appt and we are apparently on a list. They told us to go to the ED or urgent care in the meantime. I remember not that long ago they saved a couple of last minute type spots for those that were unexpectedly unwell.  Guess they don't do that anymore. Now I can see why people like concierge. [/quote]

Health care provider here.  That is absolutely insane to me.  Even without the infection, he should have had a "check in" follow up due to having an ICU stay.  My PCPs office reached out to me to schedule a follow up a week out of my 1 night ICU stay .

I would also recommend trying to get an appt with either an ID doc or pulmonologist.  [/quote]

+1 that’s not acceptable. I’d try again with pcp. I would send portal message saying you tried to make an appt but didn’t get one til Dec and “that seems too long for a 58 year old just discharged from the ICU currently being treated for hospital acquired pneumonia. Are you saying that’s an okay follow timeline and we should stick with the December appt?” That should do the trick. [/quote]
