My GP did try to find a gynaecologist at the time, but none were taking new patients. There’s a real shortage of. Even family physicians here, never mind specialists, and I am one F the fortunate few who managed to find a GP within a year … and my GP too is not taking any new patients now!

@naturegirl5 Well, after my second pelvic ultrasound on July 13 my GP called me. The gynaecologist she finally found for me had sent me for the second ultrasound and had said if she was satisfied with the result I would not need to see her again (she had not requested a copy of that ultrasound to be sent to my GP but I made sure to inform the technologist that I wanted a copy of the result to be sent to my GP).

My GP said she saw something in my ultrasound result that concerned her, but that gynaecologist who sent me for that second ultrasound (she hadn’t even bother to call me) was not concerned so my GP went back on the hunt for another gynaecologist. After several referrals being turned down she finally found another gynaecologist right here in Kitchener who agreed to see me. I had a consult with him on September 26 and he scheduled a hysteroscopy and D&C at the hospital for October 11 - so I finally did get the hysteroscopy done, in hospital and under anaesthesia!

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving weekend here, so I guess the gynaecologist wanted to get away for the weekend and he didn’t talk to me in the Recovery Room. I have been given a follow up appointment with him for November 22 but I think my GP will get in touch with me sooner as she always updates my husband and me on any test results as soon as she gets them. This being the log weekend, I don’t expect to hear from her till later this week.
