How long did you have to wait to see a Cardiologist?

It’s the same everywhere not only the wait for an appointment but then one has to face a lack of empathy from the consultant and the clinic staff especially if you. Have recently been diagnosed with a cardiac condition even if one gets an appointment the staff makes sure that the patients keep on waiting till they become stiff

Oh my, that is a very dire attitude.
I have had an opposite experience. After an Urgent Care directed ER visit, the on-call cardiologist recommended a heart CT scan, which was done in 4 days, and the cardio visit was scheduled two days later. He started conservative measures to treat a blockage, ordered more tests, and is seeing me in 2 weeks. His staff has been most responsive, and he personally replied to status update he requested on Monday, within 12 hours of my message. I need surgery for another matter and he is consulting with that doc to make sure I am safe.
Not every doctor or practice is uncaring.
