I don't want to say that here in the US it is all roses. It is most often the case you have to wait a month or more to get in to see a pdoc. It is interesting seeing the difference though. I thought I remember one post from the UK where the GP couldn't prescribe a med that he thought the patient needed and reffered her to a pdoc. but she could not get to see a pdoc because the assesment team thought she was not in bad enough shape. It would be cheaper to just let her go to the pdoc then have a whole assessment team come out and evaluate you it would seem to me.
