Walk-in clinics are overbooked, the emergency rooms at the hospitals all have overfull waiting rooms and doctors and nurses are doing 12-hour or longer shifts. They gave me another referral and reported the practice to Medicare. We need doctors and will welcome American doctors here with wide-open arms.
