Seeing a Health "No-Care" Specialists in the US

Most of us are now forced to see specialists because our primary "no-care" practitioners are told not to do physical exams. They are too good for that, right? This is my experience so far in trying to see a specialist in North Carolina; to see an eye doctor (MD) for glaucoma testing (7 months; I called in November and the earliest appointment available was in June); for a GI specialist (5 months; I called in August and my appointment is in January). And, I am an established patient with these two specialists. The MD eye doctor I saw him last year. The GI doctor, I've been their patient for the past 25 years. I needed to see a hematology specialist last year; I called in October 2024, and was told the earliest appointment was in December of 2025. I should've taken it. All of this is because our primary "no-care" practitioners are not doing their job that they swore an oath to uphold. Medical programs (MD, DO, PA, NP) should do a better job in selecting their students. A high GPA, some prior experience in the health "no-care," a good personality, and so on and so forth do not cut it anymore. Admission Committees need to focus and develop methods for detecting liars from those who really care about other human beings.
