I think you can. Check with your doctor.

Have you talked to your doctor and made blood tests? The reason is internal so you have to treat from inside, but tests are needed and a professional to see you.

Please make an urgent Doctor's appointment NOW.  Alternatively go to an NHS Walk in centre NOW.  You really should not be waiting. \n\nEDIT\n\n(Why don't you ring and ask your midwife about this? - She will have been visiting for the first two weeks and can visit for up to 28 days.)

Absolutely not. Most medical facilities are not allowed to refuse treatment to you even if you cannot pay. Though depending on the circumstance, they may be able to refuse to set another appointment until payment is made (i.e. the dentist)\nI imagine that this facility is using this as a sort of "scare tactic" to prevent people from not paying. However, you are entitled to have a certain amount of time to make a payment. If you cannot make the payment in full you are entitled to make a payment arrangement. If you are sending them a reasonable amount of money each month to try an pay off your bills, they cannot even take you to court over the issue. If they harass you for a higher payment which you are unable to make you can accuse them of harassment.\nIt seems like so many companies try to bully people these days. Please know your rights when it comes to your bills. \nYou are protected under the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. Though these laws apply to collection agencies, I am certain they would also apply to anyone trying to collect a debt, including your hospital.\nCheck out the link below.

It is my understanding that no hospital can deny emergency care if you need it. However, if it is non-emergency, then the doctor may refuse to take you as his/her patient.\n\nUsually doctors are very sensitive about taking litigious patients becasuse if they get sued, then their insurance goes up and it becomes more expensive for them to practice.\n\nThat said, if you have a genuine problem you should address it.

Sorry.  Can't find one.  Why is it you want an appointment to this board anyway?

I suggest to call and make another appointment. That way you can be sure that somebody will make time for you. They will tell you at the call as well if you can complete this validation at normal office hours.

You CANNOT wait around for them to contact you.  \nContact your doctor's answering service right NOW and inform them you will be in office the minute they open, appointment or no appointment.  If the pain is too much to handle then it's time for you to go to the Emergency Room.  If you have any problems when you get there, lie down on the floor in front of the receptionist and start screeching loudly about the pain.  You WILL be assisted.

I understand the dilemma you are in as I am a recruiter myself.  I'm not in the same field, but I would try to ask the receptionist a question that only the Dr. would be able to answer.  Also, I think you're best bet would be to make an appointment, if they are not returning calls.  Or stop in, I notice Sales Reps for the pharmaceutical companies in Physician offices all the time, try their strategy!!!

I assume your doctor is still looking into it, rather than just giving you an E.E.G. and sending you home...\n\nSeizures are serious, and have many, many different causes. If one doctor isn't doing enough to satisfy your needs, never be too polite to go to one who will. A second opinion is your right, always.

Most likely NO.  If you can somehow get your doctor to date the "visits" in the future...you might get away with it.  If its prenatal care, explain the situation with her OBGYN, maybe you can work out a financial understanding.  Good luck.

If it is for your annual pap smear, they will have you reschedule it anyway. (I know from experience.) Unfortunately I waited to let them know until I was in that little paper gown. If it's for something else you can always call and ask what they suggest before going.

why didnt u ask your doctor

If you aren't REQUIRED to get one, then don't. If they insist, have them pick the "independent" doctor. If not, get a refferal from yours.\n\nIn the even this does happen, get a third opinion.

i work in a medical records department, so i know the only way to get records is for you to request them. your medical office should have a request of records form or you can request in writing your medical records to be sent to you or your doctor. it depends on what he is treating you for and if it is an ongoing condition. he shouldn't but could stop seeing you while waiting for your records.

are you the care provider? as much notice as possible. it is not always easy to find a good doctor or care provider so the more notice the better. check with the licensing board that governs you to find out if there is a minimum required time frame, although i doubt it. i'm pretty sure it's more of a courtesy.
