The analogy I've given is having an asthma clinic at the top of Mt. Everest. If I could freaking get there, I probably wouldn't need it. A friend referred me to a telehealth clinic where I could get in quickly instead of waiting for 6 months. They're dialed in to their patient care, too: I get a string of email and text reminders that I have an upcoming appointment. And contrary to some of the horror stories, my doc spent a couple of hours with me on the first appointment before coming up with a treatment plan. It wasn't a 5 minute visit where they through pills at me, but an actual genuine doctor's appointment with someone doing due diligence and customizing a care plan specific to me, with alternatives to try if my insurance didn't cover the first line of meds. I feel so lucky that I got connected with the right people, after a series of PCP visits and a psychiatrist referral who diagnosed me as having anxiety. Oh, you think? Yeah, I'm feeling pretty anxious that my boss is annoyed at me for having all the signs and symptoms of ADHD and how it affects my work. Life is easier now, I tell ya.
