I did. It sounded exactly like that to me. Maybe I'm wrong though.

A whole part of it is how they tried to find a doctor, and tried many but couldn't find on taking new patients. To say they've tried nothing doesn't make much sense.

A lot of that could very well be French attitude versus American attitude and the doctors offices going, "yeah, no, we're not accepting new patients." Accept 5 new French patients 2 minutes later. Especially given the American attitude given off in the quotes in the article are classic entitled behavior. "You mean you can't make a Martini if it isn't on the menu!??!!"

a lot of Americans really don't understand that people don't cater to the customer outside the US, you just get perceived as arrogant, doubly so in France and not speaking a lick of French.
