It's still difficult for a lot of people to get a physical exam by their GP. My own mother had her breast cancer diagnosed pre-pandemic only after she came in with an unrelated problem. Many health problems are not being caught while GPs are working from home.
Related complaint: My mum was nearly deaf for six months. She got a few remote appointments with her GP surgery. One recommended she get psychotherapy. Another said she had a "foreign body" in her ear. After six months, she finally physically met a specialist who said she had too much earwax, and after vacuuming, she now hears better than she has for years.
My parents are dual citizens, so they'll be leaving so that they can get better healthcare.
