I only know what happened to me. When TIA discovered from a “routine” MRI for my MS my neurologist called me, scheduled office visit for next morning, showed films to me, and immediately got me into outpatient PT. Second stroke was hospitalized, then months of in-home PT, OT, speech & memory therapy. Speed of care indicated “emergency”, as well as my insistence. You are your best advocate! Best wishes.

Thank you for this. My doctor sent a Neurologist a referal request. I'm told by the Neurologist's office my wait time for an appointment would be ten to twelve months. I have a telephone appoinment with my doctor today. We'll see where this goes.
Regards

1 Reaction@1427donwood I have the same maddening problem with long wait times. When I moved to Kentucky from Maryland for much better neuro care it took me about a year before I finally got my team of doctors and APRNs together, talking to each other, etc. Don’t give up, advocate loudly, frequently for yourself, the “squeaky wheel” syndrome really does work! Best wishes.
