Hello!
I'd like to ask two questions regarding doctors that're available online, e.g. on doctolib or mondocteur.
1) What do you do when you need to consult a specialized doctor (not GP) in a few days, and all the corresponding doctors seem to be booked for at least a month? For example, I need to visit a dermatologue soon but the earliest appointment I got was August 18th. Is there any hospital you can definitely go to (if possible, walk into?), that accepts carte vitale? P.S. I noticed GP's are free almost always in 2-3 days, even in July. On the other hand, speclialized doctors are always booked till late.
2) When I try to search for a specialty, say dermatologue, certain doctors' names show up, but when I take the appointment (rdv), I notice often that someone else is replacing the doctor (I see 'collaborateur du' or 'remplaçant du' + the doctor whose name is on the website) that was originally mentioned on the website(s) like doctolib. Now, I've consulted one of such replacement doctors, and apparently her name was not enlisted on website. Why is this the case? Does it mean these replacement doctors are not well-qualified or registered with the site(s) (I'd guess no)? I asked my previous doctor whether she's an intern, but she was an actual dermatologue. Somewhat frustrating though, the doctor whose name was on doctolib speaks English as per doctolib, but the replacement doesn't!
