Dear {Doctor}:
On {date}, I was informed by your staff that you have no openings over the next {amount of time} and that you can't schedule an appointment with me until {date} at the earliest. I am writing to beg you to reconsider.
I know that you are the only medical doctor focusing on {field} in a {number}-mile radius. I know this because I have been to every general physician in the area, and it is my sincere belief that you are the only person who can help treat me, or even tell me what, precisely, is wrong with me. I'm not an impatient person, but I'm afraid that if I have to wait {amount of time}, my condition will have worsened to the point of severe illness or even death. I admit that I'm afraid and even desperate at this point to get answers that will help me.
If there's one thing I can offer you, it's the guarantee that you will find my case unique and medically relevant to your research into {field}. {Brief medical history}. I have been to {list of other doctors/clinics} and no one can help me. I am happy to come in at any time you can fit me into your schedule, and I will try not to take up too much of your time.
I will call your office again next week. I'm so sorry to be an inconvenience, but I hope that we can find a time to meet very soon.
Thank you,
{Sender Name}
