The best doctor in the world is the same as the crappiest doctor in the world if you can't get in to see her. I know it's difficult to find and train (!) a new doctor for your needs, but sometimes it's what you've gotta do. I hope the office manager / staff come to see the light before you have to do that.
I spoke with the office manager and we may have come up with a solution. It still strikes me as weird, however. If I can't get an appointment for the day I need it I need to call the office manager directly and she'll speak with my doctor to fit me in.
In the meantime she's putting a note in my file that I'm a high-priority case and need to be seen when I call in.
Wouldn't you think they'd have a system in place for people who have a more urgent need to medical access?
Anyway, we'll give this a try and see if it works out. I don't want to lose the doctor if it's just a case of getting the office to handle my case properly we could have a win.

The new doctor can be reached by email and she nearly always responds the same day. It's not perfect, but it is a radical improvement.
I can request prescription renewals through email as well.
