Re: Advice on getting appointments + riduclously long life story of a 19y/o

@Aaron.Walkhouse: six months to get an appointment?

Wow. I knew it would be long but didn’t realize it would that long. Thanks for sharing it.

My family doctor gave me a referral to a psychiatrist about six weeks ago and I’m still waiting for them to contact me to set up the appointment. It’s taking that long even to get someone to tell me what date I can come in – which I find unbelievable. So I’m guessing that by the time they get around to calling me an appointment, I can add six months to that date.

Yes, I bug them on a weekly basis to call me with an appointment and they keep telling me that the person who’s responsible for setting it up is in a meeting or something but that I should be sure to hear back from him or her within the week. It’s a way of setting expectations I suppose, and to ensure I won’t bug them on a daily basis. It’s not going to work though: I plan to call them every day starting this week. I mean this has gone on long enough, and I’m certain I’ve exercised quite enough patience by this point.

Thanks ChrisL for bringing this up!
