- Random_Person 14y agoI want this so bad. I once tried making an appointment for severe pain and was told three months and there was nothing sooner. They told me if I was in severe pain, I could visit my local ER, pay, and submit paperwork for reimbursement. I informed them that I could not afford that option and asked if they were going to treat me for alcoholism because I was going to drink myself to sleep every night for the next three months... I was then told, "Oh, how about next Tuesday. We have a number of reserved appointments that we can assign for high-need cases." WHAT!?
