Topic: RE: Dr. Sampath

I was referred by my Doctor to Dr. Sampath on Jan 18, 2012.
I called the office and asked how long it usually takes to get an appointment. The lady said 1 year. When I asked how long it would be before I could here from their office about a First visit date she said 1-2 months. I was too discouraged at that point to ask how long it takes to get a surgery date. Should I ask my Doctor to refer me to someone else or should I just wait it out?
I suppose I shouldn't be disappointed, but I am. I know that there are so many people asking for help.
Is there anything I can do? Anything at all to help speed up the process? Any advice at all?

There was nothing on there about BC Medical paying for the panniculectomy, it was a story about a man back east that has lost 200 lbs and has the stomach skin leftover and that the medical plan doesn't cover the cost of getting it removed.

I watched the 5:00 Global TV Vancouver news, the 5:30 National News, and the Global TV Vancouver news at 6:00.
