Hello Everyone!
This is my first post at this site, though I have read many many of the links. First, I would just like to say thank you for such a helpful resource!
Now, I'd like to add something that might be of benefit to someone out there who was referred to a clinic and has to wait 3-4 months for their appointment. I know, firsthand, the anxiety this can create.
My Primary referred me to U of M neorology clinic at the end of October 2007. My appointment is scheduled for February 21st 2008. WOW.... what a wait! As soon as I received the confirmation letter in the mail from the clinic, I began calling every Monday morning to see if there had been any cancellations that I could fill the spot, instead of waiting until Feb. I did not ask to be put on a cancellation list (they do not have one there anyway), I just continued to call once a week.
Today, they called ME. They had a cancellation & are now seeing me on December 10, 2007. I cut 2 months off the wait time just by being persistant with a weekly phone call. You may try this too... as it might help!
God Bless you all,
