Extortion by shrink! Long question.....

Hi, all! I had my psych evaluation in latter October of 2002 and my psychologist still hasn't completed the evaluation to submit for my surgeon's office. What's worse is that she insists that I go to to her bi-monthly support group for 15 bucks a pop. Each week she says she's working on my evaluation, but no progress seems to be happening. The support groups are not helpful to me and are at a time that I have to miss work - without pay. It seems to me and every other pre-op that she's extorting us by insisting we go to her group therapy while stringing us along about our evaluations. Another pre-op had her evaluation in August and the shrink hasn't finished that one yet either! The surgeon's office told me that there's nothing they can do to speed her up. Do I have any recourse? Switching psychologists will be expensive and take forever to get an appointment - any suggestions to light the fire under her butt??? Thanks for your help! Rhonda
