[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 460871, member: 4264"] Gosh the system in our province is maddening! This won't be of any solace I'm sure, but you're far from alone. My aunt had a major heart attack many months back. We're in NB and have a brand new state of the art hospital. Of course we have hardly any specialists and none in cardiology. We don't even have equipment for testing for heart issues in the city. While my aunt was treated quickly and well at the time of her heart attack, it took months and months of waiting for her to get into the cardiologist in Sud. Even when she did get in it was due to my cousin in England (her daughter) calling and I don't know what was said, but somehow she got an appointment and it was less than 2 weeks after the call. I mean after all those months there wasn't even a date booked! The north is so differently treated than cities down south in terms of health care providers and specialists etc. And I truly believe we get often get the docs who have become jaded and no longer are challenged by nor enjoying their jobs. And we all suffer for it. I'm so sorry you're falling through the cracks, it certainly is not right. Hopefully the chains you're all rattling will help you get some much needed (in my opinion) testing done. I would perhaps look into funding for travel to a specialist and fight for a referral.
