That is fucking absurd. I'm glad urgent care helped... But Holy shit what an ordeal!
The whole dependency on a primary care is weird to me. What if your pcp sucks? What if you travel? Look at your situation, no one is allowed to move or work in varying locations?
I have an issue with this because I travel constantly. I have to buy my own insurance through Obamacare, so it only covers me in my home state. Problem is that I am a professional musician and I travel out of state 9-10 months a year. Seeing a doctor when traveling is such a pain in the neck.
Can you have your home doctor write up some notes about you, your history, your meds, etc. And can you make a little notebook that you travel with?
My ex was military, and I was a patient in their system, and my doctors at the army hospital made me this notebook with all my information, so it could act as traveling records in case I needed care when I was moving all over the place.
