Is it possible that you were given the name of the ENT to make your own appointment? That is how our GP handles referrels because you can schedule it to your own convenience. Usually on the intake form it will say " Who referred you?"

Certainly there was some kind of misunderstanding somewhere. If you needed immediate care, then that was deplorable. I have found that sometimes I get worried and don't take in information clearly especially when a referral is being made, because usually that triggers a minor panic in me.

We have had a LOT of health issues over the years, most especially with our daughters' open heart surgery and then cancer and we have been blessed with really awesome care from the medical community in Cincinnati.

I haven't yet made any medical connections in TV and I must say to hear this is very troubling.
