[quote=Anonymous]We have tricare. It collapsed years ago. It takes months to get appointments, assuming they approve your referral and if you get a referral often they refer you off base and to really bad doctors. Doctors at the hospital don't care and do the minimum. I've been trying to get a diagnosis for years. It took me many years to get something simple like refux treated but I got one appointment and told I could not be seen for six months regardless of how I was doing. I called the dr. and he said too bad wait. CT's and MRI's are a few months - you are lucky if 6-8 weeks, same with ultrasounds. Mamograms take months too and if you have a lump, they will do a follow up in a month or two. I have to wait 8 weeks for a follow up mammogram when I told them there would be a positive finding as it was on a CT. So, if I have breast cancer from the finding from the CT to the mammogram will be about 8 months.[/quote]
