Back in 2003, my primary dr was at UCSD. I once waited FOUR months to get an appointment for a knee issue. And then the Dr. canceled the day before because of a sick kid, and the appointment center wanted to make me wait another 2 1/2 months (I threw a giant fit about this, because I had quit my job, was relocating to LA to go back to school, and was losing benefits in 2 weeks).
While I was in LA, I had a potentially life-threatening (but luckily easily rectified) medical issue that resulted in being hospitalized at Cedars twice. My primary AND the ER doc over there called me weekly to check in and see how I was doing. The difference was night and day. Given the amount of time that has passed since I had a Dr at UCSD, I don’t think its funding cuts. I think that UCSD is poorly operated. Never going back.
