You can get prescribed sooner, but getting an in person appointment is neigh impossible
…and…
with the specific goal of bringing in an American style private health care system.
American style healthcare has walk-in clinics available all over the place to see a physician in person without any appointment. For moderate needs its called Urgent Care, for a prescription only there are light needs clinics call Retail clinics in a number of grocery stores or drug stores where you can see a Nurse Practitioner, who can prescribe antibiotics.
Sure there’s private practices in most places. I do not have private insurance, and refuse to pay out the fucking nose for medical care that I already pay for with my taxes. What I’m referring to as “American Style Health Care” is the absolutely insane insurance bullshit, potentially bankrupting yourself for having broken a leg. I live in a first world country, and our previously functioning health system is being dismantled to line people’s pockets.

Does your system not have that available?
