My pcp (in my town) is so hard to get an appointment with. I have known him for more than 20 years, yet both my husband and I have been referred to different doctors the last several times. It's frustrating. We even started going to an urgent care center in another town, recently. The copay is higher, but they see you as a walk-in, and quickly.


The last “ cold” I had was probably 4 years ago I had a really nasty sore throat, I did go see my GP they ran the rapid test and it was negative thankfully .. She told me they were flooded with colds that included having terrible sore throats. So she said go old school and gargle salt water 6-8 times a day. It did offer relief... it lasted over 10 days tho !!
