I saw my doctor yesterday, and for what it's worth, he said hospitals are overwhelmed right now because:
1. 18 months of quarantining had thousands of patients putting off routine/semi-routine visits to the doctor
2. They have not been allowed to hire more to accommodate the demand
Two weeks ago, I was told I needed to make an appointment for a follow-up - 3rd week of September was the nearest appointment.
