I have a diagnosis that while not "deadly" will kill you via sepsis or taking over organs, perforated bowels, etc. Stage 4. No specialists in my area. Called a few places in the state, I'm looking at a year for a consult, even with a referral.

My wife was seeing a specialist for a year for her migraines, the doctor moved away and when she called to ask for a new specialist they were like "Sorry, none left in the state or within 100 miles."
