I have a dear friend in Canada and she went through more testing than our insurance in this country would even allow. And her CT Scan wait was only 3 weeks. Guess what! I made an appointment to see a doctor in The Villages at the beginning of Sept. and I can't see him until Oct. 8th! Don't be misleading!
