That sucks. Dermatology is definitely a problem here. I don't like my dermatologist - I'm not sure she's a good doctor - but I don't have anywhere else to go so I stay with her.

You can have your GP do a skin cancer check and if they see something they might get you into a specialist faster.

How dare you question your doctor? She went to college and got a degree! She is an expert!

Lol.

College, medical school, residency. 12 years at least, 14 or 15 for some specialties. Thousands of hours of clinical time

And ironically this still doesn’t guarantee a good dr who also isn’t burnt out.
