Your PCP should be aware of Gilbert’s Syndrome and the effect of statins in general.
There are alternatives if your cardiologist recommends lowering the lipids.
When you finally are contacted by the triage people you could possibly ask to be placed on a cancellation list- people cancel all the time.
I know the frustration of having to wait to get an appointment- where I live there is usually a long wait to get to see the best doctors. This problem is especially common in countries with national health insurance. My daughter lives in Europe and has to wait 4-5 months before she will be contacted with an appointment for a sleep study.

Unfortunately "should" and reality don't always meet up with medical providers and life in general.

Yes, the cancellation list request was a plan once we hear from them after triage.

I'm in the US so these waits are starting to seem more like countries with NHS etc. I hope more from the US will chime in to let me know how long they waited as I'm curious if it's becoming a new norm here.
