28/11/13 - Urgent?

Last week Doctor Naiker sent an urgent referral for Ellie to be seen by the paediatricians at the hospital while we wait for the lung specialist. I know he marked it as urgent, and I know he sent it, because he did it while I was still in his office. 

So when I opened the mail today and found a letter from the hospital, I was expecting it to be an appointment time. But no. They have placed her on a waiting list. How exactly is that urgent? Meanwhile, I have a little girl who spends all day and night coughing. She can't sleep properly because her cough wakes her up. And the longer this takes, the more likely her surgery will need to be postponed again. 

Frustrated!
