Might be last-minute, but I assume it would be a virtual session, so you probably wouldn't need much notice (if you weren't in class, of course). Or maybe he can give you another name.


Another thought could be trying to contact your regular doctor (if you have one)--mine recently prescribed me something for sleep that can also be used PRN for anxiety, hydroxyzine. Or could prescribe something else. No idea if you could get an appointment sooner there vs. a pdoc, as your healthcare system works differently!
I never actually registered with a local doctor in all the years I've been here. I've only paid to see a private doctor once.

He works at my local hospital mainly, so I was expecting a face to face consult and a prescription too. I did see another pdoc whilst he was super nice he wasn't local.

In this moment I feel overwhelmed by grief.
