[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 563933, member: 14356"] Insane - Oh, I know that I should expect a wait upon an initial referral but he's already seen this psychiatrist (last August) and she told me if I felt we needed to come back to call her again and she'd see him. Now all of a sudden he is considered a 'new' referral because the letter came from the paediatrician instead of the family doctor. That's pretty ridiculous. It's the same kid and the same psychiatrist - semantics really. And the paediatrician's follow up appts. are 4 months apart and he's booked solid in between. It is so frustrating. Their take on things is that if it's that urgent you can go to the hospital but the hospital doesn't consider him urgent unless he is an imminent threat to himself or others. So we wait. Sorry - just venting my frustrations. [/QUOTE]
