I am one of those people that brags about her pdoc. Truth be told though, unless I am very unwell, I get seen the next time I have an appt, or the next time there is a cancellation and I am available. My pdoc will always answer my calls and he has arranged to see me that day or the next when I was close to emergency bad always with the caveat that the ER was an alternative if I couldn't keep myself safe until I saw him.
