On: Australia's overuse of antibiotics driving rate of drug-resistant infections

Hah, I wonder how people do it. The past few times I wanted to see my GP the appointments had lead times of 6 weeks or more. And they weren't bulk-billed.

I'd joke that by then the issue would have either gone away or I'd be dead.

Call first thing when the office opens (often 8am) and you often get something because they tend to save a couple of slots for same-day appointments.

Good point, thanks! I'll remember that for next time.

I guess this is very dependent on where you live?

I live in suburban Melbourne and have no problems getting a same day appointment. There are at least 5 GP clinics within a 5 minute drive.
