dang, that is far away. I'm guessing what's happening is that your governor is allowing elective procedures to start up again, so people probably called up to rebook their colonoscopies, endoscopies, etc., and so the GI drs don't have any space to squeeze you in for something more emergent, which sucks.

when I went to see a GI dr last year, I had to wait FOUR months for an opening. it was ridiculous. some people go to GI drs for completely stupid reasons, and so they clog up the GI drs' schedules. like, I overheard a guy talking to a nurse who was walking him out into the waiting room, and he was like, "so dr. so-and-so said it's ok that I'm only making a bowel movement once a day? I thought four was normal." And THESE are the kinds of people who waste drs' time! Makes me so mad.

Would you be willing to go to the ER instead of waiting if it gets worse?
