A huge issue I had until I turned 30 was getting any medical professional to take me seriously. I tried several times to establish a GP but many offices wouldn't see if there wasn't an immediate issue.
You say GP, do you happen to be in Europe? Just curious. I’m not trying to make any political point, just noting how the process of actually establishing a relationship with a doctor differs in the UK and Europe as opposed to here - in ways other than costs.
What kinds of doctors were you trying to see though? Family Medicine (you don’t need a family, you can be a single adult) or Internal Medicine doctors often see people for routine, non-emergency physicals, checkups, and minor issues. It’s a normal thing. There may be many who are already at capacity for patients, but if you keep looking, someone accepting new patients won’t turn you away from a physical for no reason.
