16. "They" spout these horrific 'wait times' to see a specialist in Canada/England but have they polled
the wait times here in the US?
My mother needed to see a heart specialist just this past six weeks as referred by her doctor. My sister made the call to the "Michigan Heart" facility only to be told the first appointment available was in 9 weeks.
After several calls between Michigan Heart and the referring doctor, an appointment was made within the week.
I'm sure the 'rules were waived' once they realized that my mother is an insurance 'cash cow' where all of her procedures are 100% covered (thank you Operating Engineers Union).
No, if it were I without insurance...I wouldn't even be allowed to sit in the lobby.
