But fortunately I’ve been stable so the pcp could just fill my psych meds as I was on them. The minus part is anything serious gets referred to Rochester which is a pain. But so far I’ve not needed that. Mum has a few times and parking is a real nightmare. I hope you can find a GP soon.

You are so lucky to have Mayo Clinic! I'm glad all of your care is centralized. It is such a hassle when it isn't. When I lived in New Jersey everything was nearby. Even in Brno, CZ things were somewhat close. Now we'll live a little more in the boondocks. Prague is about 40 to 45 mins away by car or about 1 hour by public transportation, which I will likely start taking in the future. There are few doctors in the immediate vicinity to where we'll live and almost none that speak English, unlike in Prague. And most are not taking new patients. I found one place in Prague that is walking distance from the train station that has my new GP, gynecologist, and ENT. My current others kinda need to be driven to by car.
Today we're going to get my new Czech long-term resident card. I fear my name issue will be problematic. I also need new US passport photos. I need luck that I won't look hideous in them. I'm not photogenic. My current passport's is horrible, but my current Czech ID's is surprisingly OK. Both of their photos will be replaced.
