Advice on maneuvering in the health system
Edit to say thank you for all the comments!! I will call my fastlege first thing in the morning and take things from there. You’ve all been very helpful and I’m really grateful right now :)
I have been dealing with some symptoms that appear to be escalating but of course I don’t know how serious it is or how worried I should be. The earliest I can get an appointment with my fastlege is in two weeks, which I’ve booked but that feels like a long way away.
Alternatively, I know I can go to dr. Dropin but I feel like that’s not the best option if what I need to do is lots of follow up testing, probably with specialists, which I think my fastlege would have to make the referrals for, right?
The other option is going to hospital but that seems extreme unless I’m in the midst of pretty severe symptoms.
Just wondering what others have done/would do, or any helpful insights to share?
