Easy for you to say... you have health care. I live in Canada. Ya can't do that here.
And, when you get the referral from the GP first... good luck with that. I talked with my uncle today.... referral? Three years and he got a call. The doc was retiring and he would have to go back to his GP and get another referral to another doc.
No shit. It's free here... but it's shit. Ya gotta wait at least a year to see a specialist unless there is blood. If so, go to the emerg and wait 6 to 8 hours to see a spcialist... and THAT is the kid who is in training.
