Frustrating healthcare system wastes my time

I'm not inclined to blame this particular surgical facility, but rather the broader healthcare infrastructure. The bureaucratic inefficiencies are frustrating - securing even a brief 5-minute consultation with a physician requires weeks of waiting, and these consultations are critical for making any meaningful medical progress. Take my recent experience: my general practitioner referred me to an ENT specialist who recommended an allergy test. Inexplicably, I must first schedule another appointment with my GP - a process that takes weeks - and only after an additional 'check' will they then arrange the allergy test. It would be far more logical for the specialist to directly schedule the test. This is just one illustration of the convoluted and inefficient processes that plague the system. What should be a straightforward medical procedure becomes an unnecessarily protracted multi-month ordeal. Overall, it's been a disappointing experience, though I suspect this is unfortunately typical of most general practice healthcare environments.
