It is and if this lasts much longer it will not be an option but mandatory. I've moved around a lot in the last few years and don't actually have a relationship with any GP where I currently reside, so there is a lot of overhead in terms of paperwork and insurance stuff to be sorted out for any such visit. And of course I keep hoping that it will just magically clear up like it so far always did after every flight that I ever took (it feels just the same) but I am beginning to believe that I won't be that lucky this time around.
