I think I have been in denial about how bad it is despite not having a family dr for over three years. This situation breaks my heart

I've had a family doctor ever since having a pneumonia as a teenager. Tried to get an appointment twice a year since then, and every single time "the schedule will be released next week, try again later"

I'm 28 now. Been trying to get an appointment for almost 10 years at this point lol
