Can we talk about the problems associated with making dermatology appointments?

I tried to make one today with my existing and established dermatologist, and his first available appointment is January 15th.

For real?!

And now I'm on hold with some nurses to get refills of some steroidal medications to deal with the the periodic hideousness I experience with my long term and chronic auto-immune problem called PSORIASIS.  It's only taken 20 minutes so far.  I'm hopeful that this afternoon, I can go to Target pharmacy and spend hundreds of dollars on ointments and solutions.

This whole situation is really making my day.
