[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a suspicious lump. The soonest I can get a second scan and biopsy is in September. I called another radiology company. They said they can't use the film from the first company and they are scheduling 5-8 weeks out just for a diagnostic test. Anyone else in a similar boat? This is nuts. [/quote] Why is it nuts? You have to wait for your turn. September is only next month. [/quote] Long wait times is an excuse they always give to not have a medical system like Canada, UK or Australia. [/quote] +1 Early detection for cancer is important for good outcomes for treatment. Waiting months for proper diagnostics after a suspicious screening is unacceptable in a metro area like DC where we have plenty of hospitals and options for care. All you people saying that she should wait months and treat her "anxiety" should go step on a Lego. [/quote]
