Frustrated patient exposes broken healthcare booking system

I'm determined to camp out in reception right when it opens at 8.30am until I secure an appointment that day… everyone should follow suit.. The system is completely broken. Impossible to book an appointment except on the day first thing in the morning, and even then you're just one of 10 hopeful people. The phone system constantly disconnects. I just wasted 40 minutes waiting to become the first caller, only to have it ring endlessly before cutting me off. This is failing me, older community members, and countless others. Why is it impossible to schedule appointments for later today, tomorrow, or even a couple of weeks ahead?? Sure, the doctors provide good care when I finally get seen, but securing an appointment is a constant battle. It's absolutely ridiculous. I can ring my veterinarian and instantly get my dog scheduled for treatment. They answer immediately and book me in. So right now, animals are receiving better healthcare access than humans. I'm half-tempted to register myself at the veterinary clinic instead…
