Would you be able to drive to a bigger city to get care sooner? It must be so frustrating to suffer for so long waiting to get an appointment, then tests, then treatment which pushes everything out so far. Your health system doesn’t seem setup in a way to be preventative and patients aren’t seen until their problem or disease is more advanced. Sad.

@normaprice2003 I hear you! I live in Kitchener and the situation here is only slightly better! Fortunately my husband and I found a very good physician who is proactive, but shortage of specialists willing to take new referrals makes it difficult. Physicians taking new patients are in short supply too - even ours stopped taking new patients just two weeks after we registered with her!
