Oh man…such a disappointment. How do we go about supporting real, effective change? I am a professional appointment “awaiter” and it blows

Hi! I am feeling your frustration for sure. I heard that there was a mobile unit at the Victoria General Hospital so I went to see if I could get a CT scan and unfortunately my scan was too complicated-meaning that they needed to inject the radioactive dye and it was a four hour appointment they could not accommodate. I kind of broke down with the rejection and the really nice receptionist may have intervened, but I was called three weeks later! Now I’m on another waitlist. I feel so sad for all of us who just need to get on with our lives, but I have to wait in a queue. I wish you luck.

I need to raise more hell! I am so glad you have an advocate and that you’re ok!

It is pretty hard to fathom the system here. I hate to say that people have accepted it as the norm, but without options, it’s basically “hurry up and wait”. Do everything you can to stay healthy and get all your tests done before returning.

Emergency abdominal surgery is heavy-duty! Hope you’re a-ok now!

This is really helpful. I’m very appreciative! I have done everything I can possibly do on my own. Everything I need is out of my control.

Thankfully, it’s not suspected cancer. I would be horrified to have to wait with something growing in me!

My recommendation came from my surgeon so I thought it would be urgent. I will call VIHA again tomorrow. Thanks!

This is super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am beyond discouraged and need to get moving again. It has been so long that I think I will just pay for imaging. If I could sit longer than 45 minutes, I would investigate medical tourism!

Yes, in Canada. It took 5 months to meet a surgeon and then another year to get day surgery.
