You've GOT to be kidding!

I actually did not have a family doctor... I had my referral sent in from a walk in clinic.  A week later I did get a family doctor (I was on the ontario waiting list) which is good cause I don't think the Guelph clinic would have let me go further with out one. 

I would definitely look for a new doctor.. perhaps get a walk in clinic to sent the referral.

hey all

Thanks for the encouragement - I hadn't thought about his delaying as discrimination - it always helps to have an extra mind (or a few hundred) to give different perspectives :)

I've signed up, and it's a new doctor so I can't book an appointment until next week (they aren't pre-booking him).. but when I go in, I'll have all the information on how to do the referral, all the research I've done on it, and what the previous gp put me through, and hopefully leave with a commitment from him to do the referral quickly.

Thanks again everyone!  It's great to have such a supportive community to go through this with!

LOL - wouldn't you know it - I get a phone call back from the doctor's office today  (have to wonder if he was looking at this forum and realized he was about to get a CPSO complaint against him)  :) 

He has the form completed and wants to go over it with me before sending it.  Only took him a month..  *rolls eyes*

At least it's finally moving forward
